WP:BLP1E User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 19:52, 5 February 2025 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages because they are all notable only for being part of DOGE:[reply]

Strong keep. They are not known for a single "event" because being part of a department is not an "event". It is also not possible to claim that they are low-profile individuals when they are making headlines worldwide in highly reliable media outlets. In fact, Wikipedia should aggregate and accumulate the knowledge produced, so it is obvious that no single source will contain all the content of the article. For example, while researching Luke Farritor in reliable sources, I found a freely licensed photo of him and discovered that he is the son of Shane Farritor and has two siblings, Anna Farritor and Matthew Farritor.

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2025 February 5. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 20:20, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, not a low-profile individual. WP:LOWPROFILE has a clause specifically for cases like this: Eminence. High-profile: Has sought or holds a position of pre-eminence, power, or authority in a field of research, a sport, a business market, a political sphere, or other area of human endeavor, usually at more than a locally-significant level. Their position is not one that of a normal government employee; they've intentionally sought out a position where they're one of a small handful of people to whom huge swaths of the federal government are required to justify their jobs - ie. a position of immense power and influence within the political sphere. Seeking or accepting such a position isn't compatible with being low-profile, which means that WP:BLP1E, which applies only to low-profile individuals, cannot apply here. EDIT: Nothing in the "eminence" section implies that the power or authority is relative to the specific organization they are in; and the idea makes no sense. The point of the Eminence clause is that people who hold vast power over others are never low-profile, which clearly applies here. Part of the reason he is notable is also because the unusual amount of power he has been directly vested with puts him outside of the usual hierarchies and structures a government functionary would be a part of. Coristine currently holds immense power within the US government; there is every indication that his personal decisions can directly affect vast numbers of lives, with only a single person (Musk) between him and the president of the United States - this is not a standard government functionary mechanically following orders, but someone who is personally making decisions with major policy implications (again, the unusualness of this is part of why he's notable.) The suggestion that he could conceivably be considered a low-profile individual is utterly absurd. --Aquillion (talk) 20:21, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for exactly the same reasons as RodRabelo7. And, again for those reasons, I added him as a notable alum of Rye Country Day School. David Brooks (talk) 20:24, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Aquillion and others ignore the operative term in LOWPROFILE: Has sought or holds a position of pre-eminence, power, or authority in... Low level employees of the DOGE have not sought or held a position of pre-eminence, power, or authority. They are low level employees. The term "a position of power or authority" does not refer to general authority, but to authority over the organization in question. The only person confirmed to hold (or seek) such a role in the DOGE as of this time is Musk himself, and it's likely he will stay that way. In other words, these are all low profile employees whose notability is solely based on their employment in a notable organization. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 20:26, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, it does refer to general authority or power... "In" in that context clearly means the field, not an organization (there won't even be an organization in most of the contexts this applies to). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:36, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The field, the organization, etc. Not power in general. A position of authority in a field would be, for example, a researcher with many published papers who presents at conferences on a subject. Not a random lab employee who works for that person - even if they are cited in their research. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 20:57, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, just the field. If you want to rewrite it you can propose that, but for now it means what its always meant. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 21:03, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Someone cannot be a "position of... power or authority" within a field. They can be in a position of pre-eminence within a field. But there is no "head of the field of science", for example. These people are low level employees, not those with positions of pre-eminence, power, or authority in the field. Period. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 21:51, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The reliable sources do not say that these are low level employees, in fact they are saying that within numerous government organizations they occupy a position of pre-eminence, power, or authority exceeding that of anyone else within that organization. When people oppose them they seem to be forced out of government. Even within OPM the reliable sources say that Coristine reports directly to the OPM's chief of staff, so not a low level employee. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:08, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

By your rationale, every OPM employee who has ever been named within sources is notable, because they too hold massive sway over an agency's staff from outside that agency. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 22:22, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Then you do not understand my rationale and are thus tilting at windmills. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:29, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, all three pass GNG (the level of significant coverage they have received has been staggering... That it is unprecedented counts towards notability, not against) and none meet the three standards for evaluating BLP1E. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:39, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep, all of these "DOGE people" now trivially pass notability requirements, and more stories/news/sources are emerging daily--there is no logical or reasonable assumption this will go backward. They are notable. Keep. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 21:00, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Aquillion. Gamaliel (talk) 21:22, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the DOGE article there are a handful of BLP-related issues here that covering as part of DOGE (or if there is a more specific article on its takeover of various offices). First, while we know these people are associated with DOGE, all of there other actions within the other agencies are based on claims, and not founded evidence. This is akin to the same logic treat those suspected of crimes per BLPCRIME, in that we should not be posting claims about low profile individuals. And while some above have asserted they aren't low profile, we have to be fully aware of the grassroots witch hunt to identify who these people are and what expertise they have, which we absolutely should be accounting for in light of BLP matters and not given the grassroots outing extra attention just because some RSes have documented that. RECENTISM also is an issue here as they have only been known for a few days, and we are rushing to create articles on a burst of coverage. These are all hallmarks of why BLP1E should apply, and taking the recommended action there of covering them in the context of the event they are associated with (either the DOGE or the takeover event article). If I had my full druthers, I would not even name them, as it's not that any individual one is more notae than the others but it's this ground of young men Musk brought in to do these actions that is the focus of the story in most outlets, so their individual identity is far less important info than the group's existence. But since RSes have named them, I can also see this argument hard to argue. But merging seems far more reasonable and appropriate until we know we can write more about them as individuals beyond the scope of DOGE or the event. Masem (t) 22:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Masem: What is your source that this is the result of a "grassroots witch hunt" and not just normal reporting? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bolshevism

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I'll preface this by acknowledging that this article is adequately sourced and well-written; and that the word "Bolshevism" is one that is actually used in reference to the early period of the Soviet Union between the Russian Revolution and the formalization of Marxism-Leninism. What I believe causes doubt for this article to exist is the lack of explanation for the actual existence of Bolshevism as a distinct ideology from Leninism- this article does not explain how it is different from anything in the Leninism article; or how the distinctive period from 1917 to the consolidation of power by Stalin is Bolshevism in particular and not another word for Leninism.

I would have opened this as as a merge proposal; however, there really does not seem to be much in this article that isn't already spun off from Leninism or Marxism-Leninism as articles. Already in the end of the lede it is explained that both Marxist-Leninists and Trotskyists identify as Bolshevist in tradition; both of which also claim to be Leninist; putting further doubt to the classification of Bolshevism as a "Leninist current-" if it is one, then who are the Leninists who are not Bolshevists? There also is much to this page that seem to pertain to Marxism-Leninism only and not the Bolshevist period- such as "Socialism in One Country," which this article itself explains is an invention of the Stalinist period well after the death of Lenin.

My contention is that Bolshevism; according to everything explained in this article, is simply a synonym for Leninism; which later spun off to the ideologies of Marxism-Leninism, Trotskyism, Maoism, etc; and that if it is distinct from Leninism, then neither this article nor do the sources provided seem to assert that it is. The sources provided- Harding, Evans, and Van Ree; all seem to use the terms at most interchangeably, in particular the Harding book is titled "Leninism," and only uses the term Bolshevism in contrast with Menshevism. Therefore a separate article is not warranted. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 19:44, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Leninism isn't Bolshevism. Leninism is a political practice of Lenin; Bolshevism is a political practice of the Bolshevik Party. From the death of Lenin to the 19th Congress of the Communist Party, the entire party was fighting for the interpretation of the continued development of the party and the Soviet State. Without an article about Bolshevism, we simply can't understand Trotsky, Stalin, the struggle within the Communist Party in the 1920s and 1930s, the Great Purge, and the National Socialists' views towards the Soviet Union (that was based on hating Bolshevism, not Leninism). Not to say that after deleting it, such articles as National Bolshevism and Jewish Bolshevism will be left unexplained.
That's why Bolshevism is a current of Leninism, not a synonym: there were many interpretations of what Leninism is. Rosa Luxemburg accepted Leninism as practice but criticized Bolshevism as a practice of the Bolshevik Party. Simply saying, Bolshevism is just one of the Leninist tendencies. MarcusTraianus (talk) 21:44, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see your argument but it's unsupported by the article itself- nothing in the Bolshevism article explains any difference in the current of thinking proposed by Lenin and the practice of this thinking in the Bolshevik party of Russia. The examples of National Bolshevism and Jewish Bolshevism, for example, are not explained as being specifically based off Bolshevism rather than the broader spectrum of Leninist practice. You mention Luxemburg as accepting Leninism but not Bolshevism- if this is true, then it is not explained in the article, nor do I see it in the sources that they are accepted as different ideologies. My deletion proposal was done after trying to read the sources mentioned and not seeing how Bolshevism is any different in Leninism- if the article can better clarify this, then I'll likely retract it.

Comment Okay, please bear in mind that I only took Japanese for a couple years and it's been a while, and nor do I get a lot of nuances. 長大, when read as ながだい / nagadai, is actually an abbreviation for Nagano University and Nagaoka University. [1]2 . However, 長大 is apparently read as choudai when referring to Nagasaki University. So neither of the deletion arguments works right now.

Keep If the term is one which may be searched for, then the disambiguation page is a good one. Same rationale for Hirodai. Such pages conform to WP:DISAMBIG because "for [the] word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing English Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead."
The foreign language argument is a red herring. For example, we disambiguate Jiaoda and Beida as Jiaotong and Peking Universities. Slightly less straightfoward example is how we disambiguate Shida to various Chinese universities (and other topics). Oblivy (talk) 05:34, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I acknowledge that below, with respect to whether the target article has to include the search term.

九工大　(valid abbreviation in kanji [2]) is read as　ききゅうこうだい / kyuukoudai not "kyukodai" so that's horribly mistitled. Delete as an obvious error. Sorry, closer, that's the last clear vote you're getting from me.
広大/ひろだい/hirodai is used to refer to Hiroshima University and Hirosaki[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] in several English academic journals, websites, and books but the primary topic is doubtlessly the monotypic genus of parasites named for Hiroshima University.[10][11]. Given the fact that this one actually is apparently used in English, keep? But the genus is the primary topic, undoubtedly, so keep and retitle to encourage creation? Or maybe delete, then when the next UPE gaming AP makes the genus page, add a hatnote? Or temporarily redirect to Hiroshima, because my sources seem to indicate that's the primary topic of the two(at least in English, probably in Japanese too) and add a hatnote to it instead? and then replace
Fukudai is actually a dab page at jaWiki under a kanji ja:福大, and two of the universities seems to actually use it in their English-language publishing [12][13] but also it has made its way over to English language publications as a fairly common species name, [14][15][16][17][18][19] presumably after one of the universities? (Anybody feel like finding some 1960s and 1970s Japanese entomology journals and finding out?) Also, it's mentioned (unsourced) at University of Fukui and Fukushima University. If a redirect was made from Fukudai to either of those, it would end up at RfD and the result would likely be disambiguate. So it's not unreasonable that somebody will be searching for the word "fukudai" in English, but at the same time, we can't list any of the species names.. but to make it even more complicated, I actually know the word Fukudai as a series of maths problems and methods for calculating determinants[20] pg 136, so it would probably be a valid redirect if we had an article on that method, which we should because it appears to pass the GNG in modern English-language sources, never mind earlier ones, but also it appears to be much more a partial match and therefore I give up and I regret doing a BEFORE because I am loosing my mind trying, and unfortunately succeeding in finding ways these might be useful. I'm probably going to end up with Oblivy on these. Also, RfDing any of these (except for the mistake and Nagadai bc I can't find that used in English in this context, and, believe me, I've looked) would doubtless result in a result to disambiguate.
To the closer: I am sorry. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 08:00, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any evidence at all that these strings are related to short forms of university names. Is it not vastly more likely for example that "Hirodai" is pseudo-Latin for a person called Hiroda? And fukudai (副題) is an ordinary word meaning "subtopic". Imaginatorium (talk) 19:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, we're not a Japanese dictionary, so whether or not these are oridinary Japanese words or commonly used in Japanese isn't actually going to be a deciding factor. I'm looking for evidence that these words are used in English to refer to other the universities, or other topics. I've found that evidence for Fukudai, Hirodai, and Hokudai. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 21:22, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep after finding this on googling "Fukudai" and this at "Aidai". Both seem enough to justify a redirect, and if there are multiple potential redirects from the same term then we need a dab page. I haven't checked all the others, but having found two out of two suggests that these are probably all valid dab pages. PamD 09:44, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also Hirodai here and here: both being used on English-language sites of the university itself. These aren't "non-notable nicknames" but are short forms used by the respective universities. These dab pages should be kept. PamD 09:51, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not appropriate or needed for English-language Wikipedia. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 10:46, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in most cases. I wouldn't agree that these are unlikely search terms in English. These abbreviations for universities show up fairly regularly in English translations of Japanese fiction - there are an awful lot of manga, anime and light novel stories set in high schools, so it's common for characters to talk about or visit universities. I'd go with Delete if there's no evidence that the abbreviation is correct (e.g. I'm not sure about one of the targets for Kyukodai as above), but otherwise it seems reasonable to have them as redirects or disambigs. Adam Sampson (talk) 13:12, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The question (obviously) is: what are these redirects for? How will they be used? And a valid answer would be that in some cases a reader has come across the contracted name of a Japanese university and wants to know about it. That is the plus; what is the minus? Well, when the reader comes across, perhaps "Tōdai", it is a romanisation of 東大, the short form of 東京大学. But a real dictionary (大辞林) lists five words with the reading 'tōdai', the first and most obvious being lighthouse (灯台), and including 東大 as the last. And of course, this is likely to get mangled as todai, some sort of mediaeval tax on paddyfields. So it gives a totally wrong impression that anything in Japanese that ended up as the string "todai" (more or less) refers to a university. See my comment above on the supposed insect names etc above. It also seems odd to start talking about reading fiction: if a novel translated from Polish talks about a "Reading University", how likely is it that this is actually distinguished from a "Writing University". Fundamentally Japanese has so many homophones that this sort of redirect is not reliable. The short forms are used very commonly, but only in appropriate context. Imaginatorium (talk) 19:47, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
supposed insect names I take issue with "supposed" here, as it implies I made them up. I found scientific papers about these insects under those names. They have been used. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 21:34, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, of course the insect names are correct, but they fairly obviously have nothing to do with the contractions used for university names. What is your evidence of "Fukudai" being used in English to refer to the university? Imaginatorium (talk) 03:48, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, did you get access to the old Japanese entomology journals then? I'm assuming the insects were most likely named after people called Fukudai (Like V. fukudai is) or after one of the universities.

Keep Its the equivalent of an acronym in English - it’s basically… ok, so imagine that there were several universities which all used the acronym UCLA. UCLA is not the actual name of any of them, it’s the acronym, but anyone searching for one of them using the acronym is going to be confused by the fact there are several all using the same acronym. It’s that. Anyone searching for Nagadai hoping to get information about Nagaoka University is going to be confused if they get information about Nagano University, or in fact Nagasaki University, which is the other university I definitely know uses Nagadai as a completely normal acronym (I went to the uni down the road, but did stuff there). Absurdum4242 (talk) 04:25, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Would this be the equivalent of something like U of W? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 22:58, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment Yes! Dead on that. Good catch @Significa liberdade, it’s pretty much exactly the same as that, meaning if this page is deleted, really all those “U of W” type pages need deleted too. Absurdum4242 (talk) 09:32, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Based on this I have some follow-up comments. "U of W" is an English abbreviation, which makes it appropriate for the English Wikipedia. Thus, I think the question is whether Japanese-language abbreviations are appropriate. To determine that, I think it's worth seeing if a) these abbreviations are used in English materials and b) if we have other disambiguation pages for non-English shortenings. Another consideration is that we often keep non-English redirects if they relate to the target page, which would be the case here. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Many of the articles linked to from these dab pages don't mention the term. Neither of the articles linked from Nagadai mentions the term. The same applies to Kyukodai. In others there is only one article linked to that mentions the dab term. Applying MOS:DABNOMENTION, Nagadai and Kyukodai would be eligible for WP:G14 deletion and others should be changed to redirects. --John B123 (talk) 20:12, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: At present, we have DABs for references such as U of M. The first item is University of Maine, which does not mention U of M in the article. However, I would argue it makes sense to innumerable people that it would be called the U of M. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 23:00, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If University of Maine is referred to as U of M then this should be included in the article and suitably referenced. Its not our place here or the purpose of a dab page to speculate on what abbreviations or nicknames a university is referred to as however logical the reasoning is. This is why MOS:DABNOMENTION has been agreed by the community. That aside, it could be argued that U of M not complying with DABNOMENTION falls under WP:OTHERSTUFF. --John B123 (talk) 23:38, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Taking my example above Peking University doesn't include the term "beida" in its text (OK, in one of the citation article titles) even though it's unquestionably a prevalent nickname and possible search term. Beida is a redirect, where the guideline is a bit softer at "unlikely to be useful".
I agree that MOS:DABMENTION supports your position but the alternative to deletion, to not sweep away all these disambig pages, would be to add the mention to each redirected article (perhaps with a little {{cn}} next to it). Except for Fukudai, which @GreenLipstickLesbian seems to have sorted out, cite-wise. Oblivy (talk) 02:27, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Surely WP:BURDEN prevents us from adding a mention with {{cn}} tag? Following some of the points made during this discussion I'm swaying towards changing my !vote. However for this to happen the pages need to comply with MOS:DAB. Whilst I have no reason to disbelieve anybody who knows a university is referred to by one of the terms, per WP:V this is not enough. Nor in my view is the name of a nearby bus stop or station sufficient evidence. They may well have been named in reference to the university, but may have been named after something else. I'm also concerned about partial matches, for example Hokudai lists Tohoku University but the article gives Tohokudai as its colloquial name. --John B123 (talk) 10:29, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is a difficult one. How do you establish the notability (or otherwise) of any entertainers from India? I found some significant coverage, but it's in a deprecated source. Several other sources are unreliable too - even The Times of India is considered unreliable, including having paid content for entertainers. Then, whether reliable or not, some of the sources added either just mention her name, or don't mention her at all (the review of Jind Mahi). This source [24] (already in the article) says that two music videos ‘Tujhe Bhoolna Toh Chaaha’ with Jubin Nautiyal and ‘Mombatiyaan’ with Maninder Buttar topped the charts. Is there other evidence that they did? If so, they might meet WP:NALBUM. If they do, was Kaur's role in the videos significant enough for that to count towards notability for her?

Heptalogy

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

While trilogy is notable, subsequent (longer) concepts are very rarely discussed in depth in literary dictionaries, encyclopedias or other academic woks. This is a "4th" nom but as far as I can tell the previous noms were mass noms including, among other, better known tetralogy. Let's start from the most obscure end of this spectrum. My BEFORE as well as the quotations used for refs here do not show that 'heptalogy' has WP:SIGCOV anywhere, this is just a rarely used dict-def term) that can be redirected to Series fiction (which I am writing now) per WP:ATD-R. The article is just a dict def plus a list of notable heptalogies. Frankly, as I have recently begun incrasingly reviewing and writing about literature, I very much doubt we need more than the article on trilogy, as from the perspective of literature studies, there is no significance difference between the number of installments in a series outside 'short' and 'long'. For now, however, let's cut some dict-cruft. And if anyone wants to keep this - pleas show us how this meets SIGCOV. PS. Perhaps the list could be split into the list of heptalogies, if WP:LISTN can be shown to be met... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:41, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

delete I have to say that the division of serial novels according to the number of volumes really makes no sense except as part of a general discussion of the class. Maybe. It's particularly obvious when you have something like the Earthsea books where for a long time there were three, then a fourth, and I lost track at how much further Leguin went after that. Does anyone refer to the series as an N-olgy where N is greater than three? And does anyone care what N equals? I'm just not seeing this as a meaningful class.

WP:ITSNOTABLE, WP:ITSUSEFUL, WP:LASTTIME. Congrats on managing to get three separate arguments to avoid combined into a single short sentence or two. Nor does your WP:UGC link confer even a whiff of notability to the topic, which if it were so obviously notable, wouldn't require resorting to a French source in the first place. Moreover, if you had actually looked at those previous nominations that you brought up, you'd see they were split between delete, keep, and no consensus. And the keep was part of a bundle so is harder to judge on its own. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 01:04, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (an edit-conflict with the above response), no, I disagree. Several of the sources currently used in Heptalogy discuss specifically the seven-ness of these series, stating that there is special significance to the author's choice of seven. The C.S.Lewis references are the obvious ones. These are rock-solid evidence that the concept is wikinotable. The same applies to trilogies, with even more force. The problem here is that our articles on both trilogies and heptalogies are rather poor, lazily producing lists rather than discussing the underlying concept as covered by literary scholars. But AfD is not for clean-up, and the lists aren't awful enough to merit TNT. Merging is a possibility, but I think it might unbalance the Series fiction article; trilogies, for instance, merit an absolutely enormous discussion because three has been seen as super-significant by many authors. There's also a strong need to distinguish, in series-fiction, between those series that are 3/4/5/6/7 by accident, with no underlying significance beyond the author's getting bored and moving on, and those where there is real meaning in the number. I think it's safer to cover this by having articles on the significance of a trilogy/heptalogy etc. rather than repeatedly trying to work out which series are "true" trilogies/heptalogies in the series fiction article. Elemimele (talk) 17:09, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Elemimele I am happy to be proven wrong, but could you expand the article with a few sentences based on the sources that "discuss specifically the seven-ness of these series"? That would help make it more than a list. That said, I expect most n-volume long series, including heptalogies, are that long simply because that's when the author run out of steam, without particular planning to reach that particular target number. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:57, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest I don't feel strongly enough about it to buy the book on C S Lewis, which is obviously one of the major sources, and I don't propose to start writing articles without access to the sources. But the source does exist, which makes deletion awkward. We shouldn't delete just because we can't be bothered to read. Elemimele (talk) 09:27, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Elemimele Without reading, we cannot be sure the sources exist or discuss the topic in a way that meets WP:SIGCOV (i.e. are not mentions in passing). As for the book, have you checked Z-library/Anna's Archive? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:40, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have not checked Anna's archive because in my country it is illegal to do so. I do not think we should assume that a source we haven't read is inadequate. To be fair, it's actually the job of the proposer to demonstrate that the sources are inadequate. Elemimele (talk) 12:44, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can't find anything that even the concept of a heptalogy is notable, let alone something that justifies creating a list of them -- a list with a criterion which can be difficult to settle without performing OR due to questions of whether books belong in the same series or not by being set in the same universe (Neal Stephenson's come to mind here). Nor have any convincing arguments been put forward. Frankly, I'm highly dubious that anything past trilogy really deserves an article, but we'll leave that for another day I guess. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 01:00, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve. A heptalogy is not just a series of seven fiction books: a quick look on Google Scholar shows that it also refers to dialogues by Plato [26] and operas by Stockhausen [27] (which he planned for performance on each evening of a week, so the seven-ness was definitely significant). So redirecting to an article about series fiction would be inappropriate. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:52, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument presents a reason not to redirect, but no reason to keep. We could disambiguate or delete it instead. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:18, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My argument for keeping is the same as Elemimele's. RebeccaGreen (talk) 08:09, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your sources given merely use the word in reference to a single occurrence each, with no particular attempt to consider them as a group, nor to discuss the specific concept of "heptalogy" in any detail, so they do nothing to establish any kind of notability. Nor does your vague wave of "improve" give any indication how this could be improved. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 21:28, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the phrase "vague wave of improve", I like it. I am not required to say how an article could be improved (though I do often either improve articles at AfD, or suggest content to do so (eg Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Butt of malmsey). However, this topic is not a priority for my editing time. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:32, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Selectively merge to Series fiction. Contra several colleagues above, the sources I looked at contain content about thematic arcs over the course of a seven-book series, but as far as I can see do not contain much that is inherently tied to series of seven books, rather than ones of six or eight. Furthermore, the sources I found are heavily focused on Narnia or Harry Potter, by far the best known heptalogies, and constructing an article based on the phenomenon in those two seems untenable to me. Also, in my view Elemimele is quite incorrect above - it is impossible to prove that a subject isn't notable, only that specific sources are insufficient, and when specifics haven't been put forward the nominator is being asked to prove a negative. With respect to balance, I would agree that trilogy is probably too hefty to merge into series fiction, but merging this article causes no balance issues at all; there's hardly any content there to begin with. Indeed the second table can likely be dumped per WP:CRYSTAL. As far as ASOAIF is concerned I will believe it is a heptalogy if and only if seven books have been published and GRRM has signed an affidavit in blood that he will write no more. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:28, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, I'm not asking for proof that something isn't notable. My objection was to Piotrus' comment "Without reading, we cannot be sure the sources exist or discuss the topic in a way that meets WP:SIGCOV (i.e. are not mentions in passing)". I actually agree, but the other way round: At risk of putting words in his mouth, I felt this was tantamount to saying "Yes, I am aware that a source exists, but I haven't read it, and therefore I am justified in assuming it is trivial/passing". I take the complementary view: if a source definitely exists, we cannot discount that it might be in-depth/relevant without someone taking the trouble to read it. But my "keep" opinion on this isn't something I'm going to lose much sleep over. Elemimele (talk) 17:57, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weakness is definitely a consideration. The first source is the defunct WWW site of a catholic church in Pennsylvania. However, there's an 1899 source by François Nau (Opuscules maronites) that talks about "combat près d'Amioun" and in its turn sources the claim to the writings of Étienne Douaïhi d'Ehden, so this might need more scrutiny than just outright dismissal for being mostly sourced to a dead anonymously-written inexpert early 2000s WWW site, although there's still the possibility that al-Duwayhi invented this and Nau offers scant independent corroboration.

2024 Australian Jewish doxxing incident

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A WP:NEWS event already covered at Antisemitism in Australia#The aftermath of the 7 October attacks and WP:FORKED out of there for no good reason. Clashes between anti and pro-Israel activists, especially a few months after October 7, are routine/WP:ROTM and better covered on broader articles instead of forks. This fork is also giving this event undue weight.

Besides, just passing WP:GNG is not enough for articles about events to be notable, WP:NEVENTS applies here. An online privacy law was indeed passed in December 2024, but that law was already on the work way before this event prompted some pro-Israel activists to pressure the government (to be precise, it was a major 2023 report by the Australian Attorney General, which regarded online data breaches, that urged the Parliament to enact this new online privacy law [28]).

Pet Simulator

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An unnecessary spinout from List of Roblox games on a series of Roblox games that, on it's own, fails WP:GNG] and WP:NVIDEOGAME. There is effectively no critical commentary here outside of listicles, and there are also several unsourced statements. As someone who has practically been researching and writing for the "List of Roblox games" article practically since I joined the site (about two years now), I've ran source searches (aka WP:BEFORE) on this (and tons of other games) more times than I can count. In fact, I was actually the person to add the Pet Simulator X section to the article in this revision, and I remember having to dig deep to find okay sourcing that wasn't just the usual game guide slop. Which was hard because the former barely even existed. There was barely even enough for the section that's in the list article right now, and this article literally just recycles the exact same sources without bringing anything new to the table to justify a spinout.

And doing one more source search just to be safe before this nomination still turns up nothing. The status of this game has not changed, it's all game guide content or codes, save for the new McDonald's collaboration (which I don't see any clause about that contributing to notability). There is no substantial critical commentary from reliable sources listed at WP:VG/S, and there's no WP:SNG or something special like that which could possibly save the article. So I can safely say that, not only is this game not notable (let alone the whole series, even if the game was notable it wouldn't automatically make the whole series notable), but every single Roblox game, save for some special example like Dress to Impress and Adopt Me!, is probably not notable by Wikipedia standards, as of right now at least. I suggest that this article be deleted and redirected back to List of Roblox games (the latter of which I tried to do here, but got reverted) as there's practically nothing here to preserve. λ NegativeMP1 17:00, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Disagree if those have articles the Pet Simulator games should have one since the pet simulator games have 200k Concurrent players which is triple the amount of those.

Which means pet simulator is more popular. Thewetroadinsummer (talk) 17:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See our notability guidelines. Player counts mean absolutely nothing, what matters is whether or not reliable, secondary sources cover in the game in detail. Adopt Me and Dress to Impress have been discussed in detail with critical commentary. Pet Simulator has not. And since the material is a spinout from an article that already summarized the information, there's other factors at play like WP:NOPAGE and WP:MERGEREASON. λ NegativeMP1 17:08, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lmalena, I'm not sure why you are so intent on having these pages deleted - can you provide a legitimate reason for deletion following Wikipedia's policies? If you haven't yet, I would encourage you to read Elsevier's description of what an in-press/pre-proof publication is, accessible at the top of the source in question. I will also add that, even if the page was deleted, it would inevitably have to be recreated once the properly-formatted PDF is made available later this year. -SlvrHwk (talk) 18:15, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As I said in the other discussion: It is not the final version and can still undergo changes. Journals are publishing online the first accepted draft under review process as preproofs. These drafts are not the final versions and they can undergo drastic changes.

The full disclaimer of the Journal:

"What are journal pre-proofs?

Journal pre-proofs are Articles in Press that have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication by the Editorial Board of this publication. They have undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but are not yet definitive versions of record. These versions will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review, and may not yet have full ScienceDirect functionality.

And since you asked about many prehistoric taxa not having an article in spite of their validity, that's obviously because none of the current users attempted yet (and there's a vast amount of prehistoric taxa, so it would take time to make articles for every single one of them anyway).

It is NOT published. That it is the problem. The article is a preproof which it is still going under the review process (the review process has not end yet, and the journal says so: "are not yet definitive versions of record"). It is not the final version. Both articles came to my knowledge through one of the authors of the scientific paper. The preproof is not even authorized (I know that is a problem with the journal and not with us). Even if it was authorized, the final version of the article is not published yet, the taxa would be published in the future, and they could change.

Gaurati State

I believe this is a hoax. The only search results for "Gaurati State" are a couple of Instagram accounts and there are no results for "Kingdom of Gaurati". All of the references fail verification: the two web sources are unreliable and don't seem to mention a Gaurati State; the links for "History of Rajput Clans", "History of Medieval India", and "The Battles of Samugarh and Dharmat" don't go to those books; p. 80 of "Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan" is about religious beliefs, not a Gaurati State or its geography; "Fall of the Mughal Empire" is a 404. Three of the "Currency and Medals" images are obviously unrelated and I suspect the fourth of being AI generated.

Courtesy request from article subject via VTRS 2024122010000181. The basis of the request is that the subject is not very well known, the sources used in the article are mostly so old as to be inaccurate and/or misleading and the lack of recent sources reinforces that the subject has no lasting nobility. The quality of some of the sources lacks reliability even if the news sources themselves are generally reliable, the specific sources are not and are towards the gossip column end of journalism e.g. [51] Nthep (talk) 16:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I highly disagree with the subject, and reliable sources being old does not make it so that they don't work. There is no requirement for recent sources. Chicago Tribune and York Daily Record show notability alone. This was also a DYK in 2020.

And since you asked about many prehistoric taxa not having an article in spite of their validity, that's obviously because none of the current users attempted yet (and there's a vast amount of prehistoric taxa, so it would take time to make articles for every single one of them anyway).

Treaty of Nice (1892)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Only source is a dead link, never archived. I can't find any mentions of an 1892 secret treaty between France and Italy anywhere else on the web, only Wikipedia mirrors. I can't confidently say it must not be a real thing. The idea of a secret treaty existing is not outside the realms of possibility - Italy was an unenthusasitc member of the Triple Alliance - but the closest I can find to any mention of it on the web is commercial agreements and general reapproachment in this thesis.^[1] If there are any French or Italian speakers who can validate whether this article is real or not, please do. //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 14:55, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If anything I would argue that this is the opposite of a POV fork, as it's trying to bring information together, not separate it. I noticed on both Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's page, people were saying the controversy sections were getting too long and specific for those individual pages. Hence, why I started this one about the controversy itself.

This controversy is very well-covered in the media. I would find it hard to argue that it's not notable. And it continues on - I believe there was just a hearing abut a potential gag order that as far as I can tell has not been added to the article, in addition to a court date set for 2026. So, this article will probably just continue to grow as more details emerge and more court proceedings happen.

It doesn't make sense to cover it in this level of depth on either Lively or Baldoni's page. It also, to me at least, doesn't make sense to cover on the movie's page because this has become so more than the movie itself and involves other elements outside of the movie (like the article in The New York Times, or the alleged "Nicepool" depiction, etc.) Additionally, if this were to move to the movie page, it feels like it would take up so much of it that it would overshadow the actual details of the actual movie (e.g. production, plot, marketing, etc.)

Given the immense amounts of sustained coverage, I find it hard to believe it wouldn't be worth covering, but I don't know where else would make more sense than in a standalone article. Do you have specific ideas for where else you think this information would belong if not in a standalone article?

Additionally, if you think the article tone doesn't use a neutral enough POV, of course everyone is more than welcome (and invited!) to edit the article and refine language and tone. Wikipedian339 (talk) 15:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Locations of Shakespeare's plays

I do not find these 'scholarly' sources convincing. Place does not matter in the plays; they are simply set where Shakespear's source located them. Geography in Shakespear is shonky in the extreme, as in the Aleppo-bound Master of the Tyger. Aleppo is not a coastal city. Ther locations are simply far- away place of which we know nothing. Incidentally I worked for a long time in the theatre industry and was closely associated with the design of a number of Shakespeare plays, some for the RSC. I do not recall any of the designers with whom I worked being remotely interested in researching the locations in which the plays are set. TheLongTone (talk) 16:12, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I don't find it encyclopaedic. Whole article is based on a trivia. Azuredivay (talk) 15:10, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the article is very new and extremely undercooked, but the subject is certainly notable (pace Azuredivay, notability depends on what scholars and others have written, not on the text of the Wikipedia article) with plenty of scholarly sources available. Rewriting is certainly needed, with more and better sources, but that's an editing matter, not for AfD. Bohemia is in the Czech Republic not Austria (wherever it may have been politically in the 17th century); Florence isn't in France; Pericles is wrongly linked; and the equation of Cymbeline/Cunobeline's Ancient Britain with "England" is pretty dubious to say the least (England didn't come into being until at least 500 years later). The map is pretty but the data on it are unsourced and seemingly as wobbly as the tables of data. So as I said, the sources definitely need improvement. The Settings of Shakespeare's Plays by Josip Torbarina would be a place to start (at least it distinguishes England and Britain). I think it would be best to focus on towns or cities (a column in the tables) with "Country" more of a gloss, as countries have changed many times. Even the parts of London would be well worth distinguishing: Torbarina lists the Tower [of London], Bridewell Palace, Eastcheap, Southwark, Blackfriars, Smithfield, Cannon Street, Blackheath, Dartford "etc.". He has similar lists of towns in the English counties, and quite a few cities in France too. The article's problem is its lack of detail and lack of attention to the published scholarly sources, which are a great deal more informative. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:17, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Nervous Fellas

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article created more than a decade ago, when inclusion criteria were almost non-existent, by a couple of kamikaze accounts. Searching for significant, third-party sources that could support the subject's notability turns up a desert portrait. To wit: Self-generated content, on Facebook, such as this or this, and as websites, e.g. this, multiple times; a few dead links, e.g. here or here; and so on. Only one legitimate hit, albeit obscure and small, was this 1990 review of one of their LPs. An admirable attempt perhaps, that lived a rather long life too, to make the act better known but Wikipedia is not a directory of musical acts nor a collection of random information. -The Gnome (talk) 12:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary: I had written User:Uncle G/On notability the year before this article was created, and even that was preceded by a whole debate on how inclusion criteria should work. The thing that we didn't have in 2007 that we have now is the much stronger AFC and Draft processes (although AFC existed from 2005) and the push back no-indication-of-notability tools at New Pages patrol for people, musical groups, and companies.

You did a good job, ResonantDistortion, but sorry, it doesn't add a pinch of salt of WP:GNG for the subject. Firstly, for the charting, NMUSICIAN says that "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart" (emphasis mine). Not only is the Billboard chart entry being not a single, ("Oganigwe" by Zlatan featuring Odumodublvck and Jeriq), Billboard is not Nigerian's national music chart. Plus, if the song charted No. 47 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs, it didn't really chart to confer notability on who was featured, nope, it didn't. This Afrobeats Fresh Picks also has the same issue, provides nothing to establish the mentioned notability on Jeriq.

I also cannot comprehend why you do not find the way this article was created deceptively concerning, This, then how it was moved to the supposedly correct title.

Again, "Nyem Ego" is another feature. Below is my analysis of the sources you added so far. This, coupled with my above analysis makes it evident that Jeriq is not yet a notable musician.

That it's not a Nigerian chart is not relevant, and neither is the fact it's a collaboration. Jeriq, evidently a major contributor to the piece of music, still has featured in the top 50 of a reliable chart aggregator, contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#2. He has been nominated, as a solo artist, twice for a notable national award which is WP:VERIFIED, and contributes to WP:MUSICBIO#8. At least two collaborative works with different artists have achieved non-trivial critical "best of" selections in independent sources, contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#1. The article in TurnTableCharts magazine (a website listed as a WP-reliable Nigerian source) is not only a curated interview but includes notability-supporting journalistic bylined non-trivial biographical information contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#1 (per WP:INTERVIEW). The nature of the page creation is irrelevant to the notability of the subject; for the record I have updated the article to try and improve it. Overall, the evidence points to the subject meeting the relevant notability guideline, and therefore I maintain my position to keep. ResonantDis_tortion 16:56, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The subject's debut album, Billion Dollar Dream, was critically reviewed by Afrocritik and The Native. He has received two nominations at The Headies. As previously pointed out, he charted on a Billboard chart as a guest act. These three reasons should be good enough for a weak keep. When I previously nominated the article, I didn't see reviews of his debut album in reliable sources. I also didn't see his nominations at The Headies. Perhaps I could have done a more in-depth search but preliminary search results didn't show reliable coverage at the time. The article contains a few promotional wording and definitely needs to be cleaned up. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 17:39, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From the cast lists and articles, she does play major roles in two films, but one at least (perhaps both?) has not been released yet - it's due for release this year. I suggest moving it into draft space until both films have been released and there is coverage of them. Then she may meet WP:NACTOR. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:16, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Credulous article about fringe physicist, that cites a huge number of his works. The only independent source is a review of his book, which concludes that it is "fundamentally flawed in both its overall concept and mathematical detail. It cannot be read as a textbook providing a valid approach to physics." That is simply not enough to establish notability. Tercer (talk) 09:23, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is clearly in need of improvement, especially the excessive publication list and the lack of external sources. I think the labeling as "fringe scientist" may not be fair to the career as a whole: from what I see he made respectable mainstream contributions in optical physics over decades and also the investigations into the the role of information in physics is not "fringe" (cf. Wheeler, It from bit). He has over 160 peer-reviewed publications according to Clarivate (two of them with more than 500 citations) with an h index of 30 (citation report). Among him non-peer reviewed publications are three books: doi:10.1007/978-3-642-56699-8 (which saw 3 editions and was called "a true classic" by a reviewer), doi:10.1017/CBO9780511622670, the one criticized in the article, which has also around 500 citation on Scholar. I tried to find a review of his latest book Science from Fisher information doi:10.1017/CBO9780511616907 and, while coming up empty, I noticed that it was fairly frequently cited also in what I consider reputable publications: Google Scholar shows over 600 citations.

I wanted to bring some data to this discussion; I'm undecided regarding deletion (having little experience with how WP:Notability_(academics) are applied here - in de.WP, he would very likely be considered "relevant", but I think the standards there are too lenient). --Qcomp (talk) 17:21, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The general idea of applying information theory in physics is not fringe. B. Roy Frieden's specific proposal for doing so has gone nowhere. By analogy, the idea that life might exist on other planets is scientifically mainstream, but particular manifestations of that idea — e.g., claiming to have found fossils in Moon rocks, or that COVID-19 came from a passing comet — can still be fringe.

Those "over 600 citations" include preprints, garbage journals, and passing mentions that only cite the book for the definition of Fisher information. XOR'easter (talk) 19:44, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep and improve. If you go to his CV you will see that he is a Fellow of both OSA and SPIE (also AAAS but I discount that). That is enough for WP:NPROF#C3. I did not count in detail, but his work has enough citations that I believe he passes #C1 as well. Cut the bibliography to 10 papers, add the major awards and trim the less reliable information. It would be good to also add something about his earlier work which appears to be considered by the wider community as notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldm1954 (talk • contribs)

Keep all Thanas are the Bangladeshi equivalents of City districts, passes WP:NGEO. Za-ari-masen (talk) 13:03, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanas used to be sub-administrative districts before, according to Thanas of Bangladesh. Nowadays, Bangladesh has Upazilas and Union Parishads as sub-district administrative areas. The Rangpur district has its own upazilas and union parishads, none of which include the above Thanas. City Corporation wards are a separate type of administrative division. Except for Kotwali Thana which seems to have been created much before, the other Thanas are newer creations, much after the Thana system of sub-dividing administration was abolished. Hence, I don't think the rest of them pass WP:NGEO.

For Kotwali Thana (Rangpur) itself, ref2 which is cited for the establishment date is a dead link while ref1 and ref3 don't mention Kotwali at all. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:55, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanas and Upazilas refer to two different things now. Thana is used as the geographical unit for the regions under the jurisdiction of city corporations while Upazila is used for the rest of the country. Geographically, city corporations are located within the districts but administration-wise, they function independently, which is why you won't find the names of thanas in the list of upazilas and union parishads. You will find them in the census reports however. Za-ari-masen (talk) 16:00, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator The explanation above (along with the census ref), by Za-ari-masen, does make sense and this seems to be included in the Bangladesh census. That said, the police station area and the census area are different things that happen to be co-terminous right now. Police station areas could be merged or split with other ones, following which the police station area wouldn't be notable. The lead and the infobox should be changed to say that this is first-and-foremost a census area.

Keep. If the disambiguation page is deleted, then the redirect pages should be deleted as well. "4.5mm" can refer to anything of that size. In photography, prime lenses are colloquially referred to by their focal lengths. For example "Use the 4.5mm." is an elision for "Use the 4.5mm lens." The same occurs in ballistics as well. For example "Use the 4.5mm." is an elision for "Use the 4.5mm caliber.". This is confusing and specific enough I think to warrant a disambiguation page since these are very different contexts (shooting a gun versus shooting with a camera lens).

Graydon M. Meints's Indiana Railroad Lines has Stoutsburg on the LS-WK (c.f. Forest City, Indiana (AfD discussion)) and that's the station name in the 1899 A.B.C.

Pleasant Ridge, Jasper County, Indiana

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

So here we hit yet another conundrum in Jasper County, which seems to have more than its share, mostly due to Mr. Gifford of railroad fame. And this is plainly a point on a railroad (though not on his), as I find a tax assessment for the depot. The problem is that leaving out a soil series name use, everything is either using this to locate various properties/people, or records a series of industrial/agricultural facilities at the spot, of which there are three at present: a trailer manufacturer which occupies the westernmost and oldest spot, an ag co-op which may be the descendant of the oldest documented business, and a bio-energy plant which is a relative newcomer. The irregular lake to the north is the remains of the fourth business, a quarry which was apparently opened up around 1960. Both the co-op and the quarry have secondary documentation; interestingly, I also found this ad for a property sale, a tile factory which clearly wasn't here, but the agent of the seller apparently was. Or at least, he picked up his mail there. But once again, there's no sign anyone ever lived here. There was what looks from the air like a farmstead directly at the RR crossing in 1957, but it disappears after that; another disappears into the quarry property.

I do not see that there's anything notable about the road signs, and neither a redirect to Government and politics nor Vienna_Convention_on_Road_Signs_and_Signals#Road_signs seems helpful to the reader.

Delete. This three-sentence article is completely unsourced, and one of its claims appears to be inaccurate. The article says, "Antigua and Barbuda is the only signatory to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals among the countries of the Caribbean", but it does not appear on the United Nations list of signatories. In fact, Cuba, which is a Caribbean country, is on the UN list as having acceded to the convention, making the claim doubly inaccurate. (Regardless of any distinction between signature and accession, Antigua and Barbuda hasn't joined the Convention at all, and Cuba has.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:25, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and merge List of defunct airlines of Lebanon into it per Esolo5002. WP:NLIST states Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability. Editors are still urged to demonstrate list notability via the grouping itself before creating stand-alone lists. As it stands now, the article, with its one entry, may fulfill the first criterion (recognized informational). A merge would, in my opinion, bolster its notability.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:58, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian atrocities

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Why the page should be deleted

Creating the deletion discussion for Armenian Atrocities page. The page sources notorious Armenian genocide denials, such as Justin McCarthy and Guenter Lewy, cites Atatürk as a factual evidence, and uses almost exclusively Turkish scholars, all of which violates WP:RS. Moreover, through the article author also tries to push an agenda and engages in WP:SOAP and often writes his opinion WP:NOTOPINION. The article is also far from NPOV and violates WP:NPOV.

For example,in the background section of the article, he describes the life of Armenians under ottomans overtly positively, without a single negative example. The line "When Seljuk Turks conquered Anatolia in 11th century, they gave autonomy to Armenians, allowing them to live in a tolerant and just manner." looks like an opinion and "Armenians were ruled under the millet system. This provided them with cultural and political privileges." lacks context and sourcing. Which priveleges exactly?

Afterwards, in "Armenian National Movement" an article pushes an agenda that an "Armenian question" emerged during the Treaty of St Stephano, implying, that it wasn't a case before, without providing any sources on the claim. Afterwards, it also gives an opinion on why the Armenian question emerged, like "However, the real concern of the Russian government was not the wellbeing of the Armenians. Russian Empire, looked after its own interests through the Panslavism policy and wanted the strengthen its hegemony in the Near East.".

The section on Massacres uses almost exclusively primarily non-neutral sources. The introduction onto this section quotes Kamuran Gürün "Their plan was to provoke Muslims by organizing terrorist attacks and have them massacre Armenians. Thereupon, they expected the European powers to intervene and liberate Armenia.", which is an opinion from his book "The Armenian File", which is notable for its denial of Armenian genocide. To the right of it, he puts a quote of Anastas Mikoyan, a bolshevik, who directly opposed the creation of independent Armenia and was motivated by it, we can't rely on him.

On Kars and Ardahan he states the opinion of the MFA of Qajar Iran, which fought against Russia in WWI. On Van, he uses hostile language like "terrible" and "gangs", citing Justin McCarthy as a source, who is an Armenian genocide denier, and is not neutral, and on Erzurum he cities Şevket Süreyya Aydemir, who is described as "National Communist". On Marash, the author quotes Atatürk, who is also far from neutral on this matter

I think it is enough for now, but I would gladly comment on other flaws in it I've found, if this is not enough for the deletion. I think that the article Persecution of Muslims during the Ottoman contraction encompasses the topic covered in the article without a clear agenda or problems with neutrality, so I don't think there is a need for a specialized article regarding the crimes of Armenians.

Not sure this meets the notability guideline for fictional elements. The entire article is basically a plot summary. I am unsure of the reliability of the sole reference (preserved by archive here), but it looks more like a fansite than a book to be honest, even if it does claim to be published by a press. Obviously the vast majority of reference material on this topic is probably in Chinese. A quick look when searching the character's name in Chinese didn't bring up anything substantial (mostly press releases and blog posts). Looking on google books in Chinese didn't bring up anything substantial either, only the works themselves or plot summaries. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:53, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This club allegedly formed by "Arab youths" was mentioned in a brief 1935 dispatch by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. That dispatch was copied within a few days by two North American Jewish news outlets. Otherwise there are no sources. None of the other sources I removed yesterday mention the club at all. In the discussion before this article was deleted on the Hebrew wiki it was stated that a search of Arabic sources failed to find a mention. It is obvious that the lack of any continuing coverage means it fails WP:ORG by a mile. A group of youths can form a club, but if it never does anything that brings it to attention it isn't notable.
