Delete per WP:TNT. This page was created 15 years ago by a SPA and tinkered with, but not improved much since then. I tried to fix it and gave up. (I've done more than my share of rescues in the past 3 months, so don't give me side-eye.) He might be notable, based on a couple of searches that I did. I actually don't think it's too promotional. Two more thoughts: (1) are LinkedIn links no longer used in External links? and (2) since the SPA hadn't been active in over 10 years, who would take over to userfy this page if needed as an ATD?

Keep. To repeat what I said last time. Significant cultural network. Enough online (and print) sourcing available to meet WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:37, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide some online sources? Being significant does not equate to being automatically notable. LibStar (talk) 12:38, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The article and network It clearly has use value and encyclopedic value for our readership. In addition to the Google Books source of independent secondary sigcov in my comment above there is also this book: Anderson, Anne. Art Nouveau Architecture. United Kingdom, Crowood, 2020 [2] Also the Wikipedia Library finds these: A wealth of nouveau riches. (2004). Building Design, , 23. Retrieved from [3]; and this: Hoelterhoff, M. (2003, Oct 10). Old architecture is nouveau again. Wall Street Journal Retrieved from [4]. Not sure how useful these are, but I've also found these in a quick online search: The Council of Europe: [5], Transromanica, The Romanesque Routes of European Heritage: [6]; the city of Riga has this: [7]; Europeana has this story: [8], Musée de L'École de Nancy: [9]; International Center for Black Se Studies: [10]. More as well found online if you remove the diacritic é and replace it with an "e" without the accent. I have no hesitation in finding that the international cultural network meets WP:GNG. Netherzone (talk) 14:41, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I made a couple improvements (and associated independent sources) to the current article so it no longer has just one source. The article can continue to be improved by the sources above if it is retained in the encyclopedia. Netherzone (talk) 16:24, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jeffrey Martin

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

Fails GNG. The only sources that talk about him are WP:ROUTINE announcements related to the Sempra company, of which he became the CEO in 2018. This article was created by a self-described "employee of Sempra Energy". Badbluebus (talk) 22:53, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Businesspeople, and United States of America. Badbluebus (talk) 22:53, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a cut and dry case of WP:BROCHURE in my opinion. The passage Martin is known for focusing on "people, priorities and culture," tells you just about all you need to know about the contents of this article. No coverage to speak of other than the odd bit of WP:ROUTINE announcements as described by the nominator. I tried my best to find a reason to call it a stubify, but there's nothing there. I would also note that not only was the article created by a self-disclosed employee of Sempra Energy, but the most recent maintainer of the article appears to be a single-purpose account which only edits this article and the article for Sempra, so that is likely an undisclosed WP:COI as well. Kylemahar902 (talk) 23:43, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I think they tried to have a concept of a plan of COI disclosed. This was turned down twice at Articles for Creation, but they still went ahead and dumped it here as if we are their webhost to curry favor with the big boss. Then it sat out in the inter webs for 6 years. Ugh. Bearian (talk) 02:24, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hadron epoch

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

This topic is not notable. Modern cosmology textbooks do not use it. Google ngram view says no ngrams. One primary source says "hadronic epoch". One primary reference with few citations mention term, that is not enough for an article. Already tried PROD. Please see Talk:Hadron epoch for additional information.

Comment: a term that is notable for this event is the "quark-hadron phase transition", but there's no page for that on Wikipedia. (There is a page for: cosmological phase transition.) Praemonitus (talk) 23:35, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and I suppose we could rename Hardon epoch -> quark-hadron phase transition, but I think filling out cosmological phase transition first makes more sense. Johnjbarton (talk) 23:47, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, that makes sense. However, this behavior is also theorized to occur within neutron stars, so a separate article may be appropriate at some point. Praemonitus (talk) 05:39, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note that there is also a QCD matter page. Aseyhe (talk) 08:01, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I am a cosmologist and have not encountered this term outside Wikipedia (aside from non-expert sources who likely learnt it from Wikipedia). Even just looking at the physics, there is not a meaningful hadron epoch. Pions briefly contribute to the primordial plasma at temperatures between the QCD phase transition at 170 MeV and the pion mass of ~135 MeV, but even during that time period they only contribute a small fraction of the total energy density. This is even brief enough that there's no clear beginning or end -- the effective number of degrees of freedom drops continuously and rapidly throughout this period (see e.g. figure 2 of arXiv:1204.3622 [32]). Aseyhe (talk) 03:18, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on scope @Johnjbarton: @Aseyhe: If this term actually does not exist, can we delete it across the other language Wikipedia's too? Being made in 2006, the article is I think in 17 different languages now. If this article simply isn't notable enough, however, that's different, and it should just be deleted here. Johnson524 16:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I can't answer your question. I am asserting that the term is not notable and we should delete this article. The term "exists" in that the article exists and there are blogs with the term. That's all I know. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:45, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Mihir Ahammed

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

Wikipedia is not a newspaper. While this recent incident has received local media attention, the subject doesn't meet any criteria of WP:EVENT. It's a tragedy, but unfortunately a common occurrence. BusterD (talk) 22:27, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime, Schools, and Kerala. BusterD (talk) 22:27, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'd be inclined to lean delete, however the widespread coverage of the event and the statement from the Indian Congress means this could be notable soon. I think this would fail WP:EVENTCRIT at this time, but if there were changes in legislation or other changes made to Indian schools in the coming weeks, this would thus become notable under the same criteria. For example, the Suicide of Rehtaeh Parsons is a similarly tragic event which became notable because of the ensuing inquiry and creation of new cyber bullying legislation.

Delete: This wouldn't pass the 10YR test, this is a rather simple death of a non-notable individual. I can't see this as being more than a shocking news story that no one will remember is 6mths. Oaktree b (talk) 01:39, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This recent incident has received national media attention [33][34][35],[36] and the police have confirmed that it was a Suicide

death due to Ragging, and there is a reference to the evidence, and the topic meets the criteria for WP:EVENT. This is not a common occurrence. An incident that is likely to be a model or catalyst for something else of lasting importance is likely to be noteworthy WP:LASTING. School ragging laws are likely to change because of this, as the police have taken up the case and the case is being heard in court[37]. Spworld2 (talk) 10:52, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's likely TOOSOON then. Oaktree b (talk) 15:24, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep To be honest, this strikes me as no different than the dozens of North American articles that we have about high-profile youth suicides/deaths that come after intense bullying. See e.g. Suicide of Rodney Hulin, Suicide of Nicola Ann Raphael, Suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer, Suicide of Amanda Todd, Death of Conrad Roy, Death of Nex Benedict. Each of those articles have enduring notability because of (a) the socially shocking or surprising type of bullying that preceded the death [sexual violence in juvenile detention, anti-goth bullying, anti-gay bullying, grooming & cyberbullying, female to male domestic partner abuse, and transphobic bullying respectively], and (b) widespread social and political response as a result. The backlash and social pressure campaign around "ragging" is generating an equal, if not more notable, social response than any of the above-mentioned suicides. If we selectively delete this article, we'd be maintaining a dramatically higher threshold of notability for South Asian youth suicides than for North America.

Delete. I believe this would fall under WP:ENTERTAINER. No coverage has been given to the subject's role in the two shows listed on this article as far as I can see, and they are the only two listings on the subject's IMDb page. Therefore, he has not "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". nor has he "made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment."

Joppa, Indiana

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

OK, so here we have a weird one. The actual spot consists of a couple of 20th century houses and a garage across the road from one of them. Whether you would call this a town is a matter of opinion. Searching, however, lights up like a Christmas tree, because this spot was the subject of an urban legend which c;ained that there were Spooky Things happening there. The rumors centered around a church which isn't in fact here; it's somewhere in the Clayton-Belleville area. I haven't found its exact location but you can read the story in this local news report, and this one reorting that the building had been burned down for the second time. Of course Google ranks the rumors higher than the debunking but what you gonna do. Anyway, this is a spot on a map, not a settlement. Mangoe (talk) 13:24, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Baker Hoosier place names book has this as a "village" on page 181. Despite the claimed dates, there's no such Joppa in the 1895 Lippincott's, however, nor in several other gazetteers. Nor does the 1885 History of Hendricks County, Indiana have anything. The Arcadia Publishing book for Plainfield tantalizingly mentions a Joppa Road, but has nothing specific. An 1899 USPS directory lists a Joppa post office in Hendricks; and everything else that I've found only confirms that post office and provides essentially zero information about it, because it's largely contemporary sources giving a postal address. I'm unable to confirm what Baker claims, including the claim to a second Joppa in Hancock County, Indiana. Uncle G (talk) 14:54, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I've not found calling places "villages" to be particularly reliable. Mangoe (talk) 22:27, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - In late 20th and 21st century sources, yes. Baker is from 1995. But 19th century sources pre-date the mid-20th-century shift in the U.S.A. to calling most things cities. Lippincott's is reasonably self-consistent and systematic in its use of "hamlet", "village", and "town" and in its "post-" variants of those. The reason to suspect Baker is not that it is from 1995, though. It is that in most other cases so far there has been supporting evidence from elsewhere to be found. In this case, I can only find supporting evidence for the post office; not for the "village" that Baker claims, nor for the other Joppa that Baker has in the same entry.

It seems quite likely that this is a notable topic. Here is an article from Oricon noting the creation of the company, and an album they put out went to #1 in Japan (with the equivalent of 1.4 million units) just last week. "snowman_mentrecording_s" has 1.7 million followers on TikTok, which I assume is a lot. The company's lineup has three groups, two of which have gone to #1 with them and one which went to #3 after coming back from a 25-year recording hiatus. I don't have more time at the moment to look for other significant coverage. Dekimasuよ! 01:20, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dave Meslin

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

WP:BLP of an activist and writer, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria. As always, neither activists nor writers are automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party analytical coverage about them and their work -- but the attempted notability claim here is that he exists and wrote a book, and the sole footnote is a magazine article where he was the bylined author rather than the subject. But as usual, you don't make a writer notable by sourcing his work to itself as verification that it exists, you make a writer notable by sourcing his work to third-party coverage about it (book reviews, notable literary award nominations and/or wins, etc.) as evidence that its significance has been externally validated by somebody other than its own publisher.
Meanwhile, on a ProQuest search, I'm not finding much in the way of coverage about him: there are a couple of reviews of his book (mostly a single wire service article being reprinted in multiple newspapers), but not really enough reviews of the book to get him over GNG just on those alone, and otherwise I'm really only finding glancing namechecks of his existence as a provider of soundbite in coverage of other things rather than coverage which actually has him as its subject.
He's certainly locally known in his own city, but nothing here is adding up to enough nationalized or internationalized prominence to exempt him from having to have a lot more and better referencing than just one piece of his own writing. Bearcat (talk) 16:59, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Meslin's advocacy against corporate billboards in public places is well known around Toronto, but a documentary about him has attracted international attention, e.g. Al Jazeera, and a detailed article from the CBC about the documentary, among other coverage. Besides that work, I found this 1,400-word detailed write-up in Macleans about his work on democratic reform, and another from Macleans ([38]) which is a borderline passing mention, but there are plenty more articles in smaller publications about this work, e.g. [39], [40], [41], [42] (some of these are third-party reviews of one of his books, maybe the same wire service review Bearcat mentioned, but being picked up by multiple outlets suggests notability). There are also plenty of links around to his TED talks and speaking engagements, which suggest notability but aren't really useful as references.

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

Almost all of the data is cribbed from self-published sources, i.e. the websites of the various ski areas. They are notorious for inflating their statistics. I pointed this out almost four years ago and placed a "self-published" tag on the page, but nothing has improved in the intervening time. Finding good, solid, independent, reliable sources for these numbers is difficult if not impossible. Moreover, the ticket price has not been updated in five years and is off by almost a factor of two in some cases - it's an impossible maintenance task to keep that column up to date. The rest of it mostly reiterates marketing fluff.

I'm not following how the article is WP:SYNTH. Care to elaborate? Mr. Swordfish (talk) 01:13, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Statististics can easily be updated with new information in terms of the ticket price. As for categories such as "skiable acreage" and "vertical drop", I agree that the article should have original research, but there really isn't a practical way, although not impossible, to find that information other than from the resort themselves (which is dubious but the most accurate information we have). However, the amount of trails, ski lifts, and annual snowfall is easily verifiable information that is publicly accessible. I also do not believe this article acts as a WP:DIRECTORY, and provides encyclopedic value, thus need not be deleted. I could also see this article getting merged with List of ski areas and resorts in the United States. Googoogootoo (talk) 12:46, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have to disagree that "...the article should have original research" That goes against WP:OR.

That said, the most accurate numbers for vertical drop can be found by consulting the US Geological Survey data or similar official sets of data. There's a really nice web UI to that data at openskimap.org and anybody can pull up a ski area, find the top and bottom, and get the vertical drop. If you do that, you'll see that the numbers in this article are often way off. You'll also be doing original research which we are not supposed to base article content on.

So, the basic problem is that much of the data in the article is demonstrably false, and there's no good, solid, independent, reliable sourcing for the actual numbers that would allow us to bring the article in compliance with Wikipedia policies. It would be great if we could find solid data, but we can't, and we shouldn't be repeating information that is clearly false. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 01:11, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and potentially merge with (/split into) List of ski areas and resorts in the United States/List of ski areas and resorts in Canada. While the article could use more independent sourcing and trimming of the likely outdated lift ticket prices, this is good content and organization and should be kept similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of Lake Tahoe area ski resorts. Data such as elevation and number of lifts are more informative than the simple bulleted list and does not make it a catalog. Reywas92^Talk 14:35, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this article provides a good way of comparing North American ski resorts and has useful content that goes beyond simply a list of names and cities like the main list. I suggest renaming the article to "List of..." so it is in-line with convention, and removing ticket prices per WP:NOTTRAVEL, but it should be kept and the statistics can be updated as-necessary. Marincyclist (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The relevant question my be found at Wikipedia:Introduction_to_deletion_process which says:

Verifiability: if an article is unverified, but verification seems possible, it may be worth keeping. However, articles with mainly unverifiable content should be deleted.

So, does it seem possible to verify all or even most of this data? If so, it may be worth keeping. But I haven't heard of a path towards finding reliable sourcing for most of the data, so my take is that it does not seem possible i.e. the article contains "mainly unverifiable content". Mr. Swordfish (talk) 22:50, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There are websites such as onthesnow.com, slopestat.com, skiresort.info, and powderhounds.com that all contain most of the relevant statistics listed in this article. I also don't think ski resorts "inflating" figures is really as common as some say. Marincyclist (talk) 01:04, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A quick spotcheck shows that onthesnow.com & slopestat.com just reproduce whatever numbers the resorts provide. skiresort.info gets some of them right (as per USGS data) and repeats what the resorts claim for others. powderhounds.com only covers US West & Vermont. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 22:39, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A valid navigational list to list all the articles for a similar thing together. They should be split by nation though. Valid information list. Lists are more useful than categories because more information is listed, helping people find what they are looking for far better than a category can. I don't believe the prices should be listed, since that's not usually something that is done. Even in the articles linked to it doesn't list the price. I don't think any business an legally lie about information, so no reason to doubt how much snowfall or measurements they have. If a government website can be found listing the information, or a reliable source that list this information, that would be better to use as references.

The modern closer cemetery location is still 26km distant from where Maumee is purported to be.

Delete As I've said on other discussions for these nonexistent places, if we have to do this much digging through gray literature to find whether or not a place was a "village" or "station" or "post office", and after all that still can't determine where it even was (i.e. WP:V), we don't have enough information for an article.

If these are the strongest sources, I don't see any of these passing WP:GNG on their own:

Forbes - Author is "former contributor", meaning it's not reliable per WP:FORBESCON

Us Weekly - Interviews are not secondary sources, and the intro does not seem like enough in-depth coverage. I also cannot tell is this is an affiliate article or not, since it looks like US Weekly allows for paid-for articles.

C21 - Questionable source. Reads like a press release. It's mainly based on quotes or info from a non-independent source (5XMedia, the company Morriatti works at and the article is written about).

Variety - "Partner content", which I assume means paid-for. - Whisperjanes (talk) 14:48, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Sevendust. The nominator is correct that he has achieved no personal notability outside the band.

I'm taller than him and have more tattoos, but that doesn't get me a WP article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:41, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It should be noted that Vinnie's bandmate, John Connolly, also might possibly not have notability outside of Sevendust. It seems inconsistent to remove Vinnie's page but keep John's; otherwise, having pages for all five core members seems to be the most logical and uniform decision - especially since Sevendust is decently well-known in the metal/rock genres, at least, on a consistent 25+ year scale. I suppose I'd support redirecting Vinnie's page only if John's got redirected as well (for context, the other 3 members Lajon & Clint & Morgan, have all made numerous appearances outside of Sevendust unlike John & Vinnie). Xanarki (talk) 01:45, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I looked at the articles in the sources mentioned by user Jannatulbaqi. Besides their questionable reliability is the fact that none of them constitute significant coverage as WP defines it. One article named three people from the city that were going to the Kudo World Cup, one was clearly a PR release naming four Kudo athletes that had been appointed as income tax officers, one mentioned Khan had attended a public school Kudo tournament as a guest, and one was entirely an interview. Several others I couldn't access. Most of his championships appear to be in youth divisions which don't show WP notability. I couldn't find info on his 2017 world championship (would again not have been as an adult). The Kudo International Federation (KIF) did not hold any world championships in 2017, though they did have a youth championship in 2018. No Indian athletes are listed [48] and no division appears to have had more than 2 entries. The 2023 world championships the article mentions do list the top 4 in each division, but there's no mention of any Indian athlete.[49] According to fightmatrix he has competed in MMA, where he has lost more fights than he's won and is currently ranked #341. I don't see anything that shows he meets WP:ANYBIO, WP:NSPORT, WP:GNG, WP:NMMA, or any other WP notability criteria. If additional relevant information is found, please let me know.

Highly promo page for an academic full of issues. While he might pass notability WP:NPROF#C1, even after some cleaning of unverified statements the page contains far too much unsourced material.

Draftify: The article violates Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) and Verifiability policies. There are multiple Extreme POVs trying to link the group with insurgents by using “seemingly” valid reliable sources, but these have nothing to do with how the term is used by the organisation itself. Stating this the Etymology section is excessive and unsupported by reliable sources discussing the term in the context of the organization, violating WP:UNDUE. Also Newspaper sources merely repeating the organization’s claims do not meet WP:RS standards as independent, third-party references. I don’t feel the lyngdoh paper is reliable as it’s written by a high schooler and newspaper articles mostly just repeat what the organisation has said. So this article needs to be further cut down and taking all the sources into account I don’t feel it will should be more than 1-2 paragraphs long ZoUnified (talk) 18:02, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: All the sources listed are Third Party and Reliable. There is also considerable coverage on the organisation that would support keeping the Wikipedia article on it. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 14:15, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: there's at least one article on the page that meets WP:GNG as an independent secondary source and WP:SIGCOV from other sources. The Lyngdoh source, the currently used Haokip source and the Mokokchung times source would each, by themselves, fulfill GNG. By policy, this article's content may need better verifiability but clearly meets standards for inclusion as an article.

As an outsider to WP:INDIA, I've additionally observed bludgeoning with citation tags that have been mostly resolved as well as a lot of wishywashy claims of a lack of notability over the last day. If these stem from an objection to the WP:POV views on the term Wesea, wikipedia is not censored and it's merely an uncomfortable fact that Wesea is in the organisation's name. All of this is, of course, irrelevant to this AfD but is perhaps relevant context to consider given that the nominee did not explain at all what their concerns are.

Weak keep. I am very surprised that there is this much coverage for a student group founded less than a year ago, but the sources narrowly get it over the line IMO. The best by far is the Haokip article, which seems to be a proper peer-reviewed journal article focused entirely on this group. The other sources are much less convincing. The Lyngdoh source is by a high school student and I'm sceptical that the site is a WP:RS. The other sources, including the Mokokchung Times, EastMojo, Shillong Times, and Hub Network pieces, don't have bylined reporters and seem to essentially repeat the group's announcements, so I think they should be discounted somewhat. But the Khasi language source is good, and the sources I can find make me strongly suspect there is much more out there in little-spoken northeast Indian languages that I'm just not able to find. I would also note that this group split off from Northeast Students' Organization, which seems to be unambiguously notable. So at worst I think this is potentially a case of WP:TOOSOON.

Delete Sources 2-5 say nothing about the WSF, they are only background about the term Wesean. EastMojo is paywalled, so I can't evaluate it fully, but the site follows a "citizen journalists" model, which is not a hallmark of reliable sources. From what can be seen, "In a statement, the WSF ...", it appears to be like Hub News, Ka Shelm, Mokokchung Times, Nagaland Post, The Morung Express, The Shillong Times, and Thingkho Le Maicha. All of them are essentially primary source press releases, repeating what WSF said in a letter - paraphrased for length perhaps, but without any critical analysis, evaluation, synthesis, or reference to sources other than the WSF. These do nothing to establish notability.

Lyngdoh is a high school student who doesn't appear to have published anything else, writing in the "Assertion" (i.e. opinion) section of Round Table India, which encourages visitors to "Please send your article submissions to [email protected]". This is not a reliable source for anything other than Lyngdoh's opinion.

Haokip is a political science student at Mizoram University. He doesn't appear to have published anything else. His paper has 7 notes and 39 references. Only two have publication dates after the March/April 2024 formation of the WSF, and neither of them can be found by Google or by direct searches of the Human Rights Watch and North East Now websites (the supposed publishers). This does not inspire confidence in reliability. If it is reliable, it is not enough on its own to establish notability. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:54, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aave

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

Clearly not meeting WP NCORP; deleted last year at AfD and recreated Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aave Protocol; all the sources are or paid, or trivial with no reliable deep coverage. Taking off shortly (talk) 08:45, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Cryptocurrency, Software, and Finland. Shellwood (talk) 12:53, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. A couple of reasons for why this should be speedily kept, and why the AfD should be quickly closed. I write about all kinds of related topics (Bitcoin City and many others) and am certain that Aave is notable enough. That's why I made sure that academic journal articles and many other sources were added.

Aave is #32 on Coinmarketcap. The top 50 cryptocurrencies on Coinmarketcap.com are certainly notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. This isn't some relatively unknown altcoin that is barely used. In the crypto world, you see Aave's presence a lot. Ask the folks at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cryptocurrency and they can tell you without a doubt that Aave is notable enough. Might as well delete Dai (cryptocurrency), Uniswap, or other articles with similar levels of notability?
Aave is already on the French Wikipedia (fr:Aave) and the Persian Wikipedia (fa:پروتکل Aave), which were created and edited by different editors familiar with how notable different crypto topics and coins really are. They were also created before the current English Wikipedia article for Aave was created. These are also two of the largest Wikipedias.
The first AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aave Protocol, had only one delete vote, so it was closed as a soft delete. Re-creating the article with sufficient citations is thus a valid option, since the original version apparently didn't have that many sources. Per WP:CONCISE, this is better named as Aave, and most sources refer to it as such without the Protocol part, which was why the article was created as Aave rather than Aave Protocol. The French Wikipedia also has fr:Aave, and it was created before the current English Wikipedia article was.
The sources are not "trivial" as the nominator claims. Multiple peer-reviewed scientific papers are cited, in fact 6+ papers (something that's practically impossible for barely known altcoins), and additional sources cited include TechCrunch, Bloomberg News, and Goldman Sachs Research, not random non-notable crypto blogs. The article does not have any blatantly obviously promotional content either (no awards, no corporate puffery, no corporate leadership fluff, no tabloid sensationalism), since most of it actually looks quite, if not a bit too, technical.
Finally, the AfD nominator is recklessly deleting articles without properly evaluating everything. He's been making dozens of disruptive AfDs and has been disregarding WP:BEFORE and other Wikipedia language versions, and neither has he been properly evaluating sources and notability. Thie nominator's contribution history has nothing but AfD nominations, and the account was created just last year with around 100 edits. To add to the confusion, the nominator's comments are frequently mangled, ungrammatical, and poorly worded. This kind of activity is highly disruptive and inappropriate, so I would suggest that this nomination be quickly closed.

Even if we disregard #5, #1-#4 provide very strong reasons for why this article should be quickly kept.

[Later] Okay. To non-admins it looks like I created this article on 7 July 2011 (unless you happen to be one of those non-admins who check the logs). In fact, I created it after the community specifically authorized its creation at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 June 28.
Admins will be able to see that the real original creator was User:Chadlupkes. After Chadlupkes created it, User:Prm1 made it a great deal more promotional. (Special:Contributions/Prm1 shows you that 100% of Prm1's contributions have been deleted.)
The promotional version was summarily deleted by User:JzG, who was at that time a sysop.
JzG's deletion was brought to deletion review by User:John Vandenberg, who was at that time also a sysop and sometime member of the Arbitration Committee, on the grounds that we ought to have an article about the M1 Group. The community, including tragically now-deceased sometime member of the Arbitration Committee User:DGG, agreed.
As you can see from the M1 Group talk page, I created it by translating from the French Wikipedia article, at fr:M1 Group. On checking this again now, I suspect that the French Wikipedia article was itself a translation of the en.wiki article version originally created by User:Chadlupkes.
Therefore the correct result of this AfD is to undelete the history from first creation in order to restore attribution for compliance with the Terms of Use.
Finally, I would note that although I translated this from French, I don't speak Arabic. You would expect any company based in Lebanon and owned by a former Lebanese Prime Minister to have sources in Arabic, but I don't know the correct search terms. In view of the company's entry on the Dirty List for its dubious activities in Myanmar, I would also suggest searching for sources in Burmese (and, considering the geopolitics, possibly Hebrew).—S Marshall T/C 16:19, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - all but (3) Voice of America are less than reliable. (1) Newsweek has gotten such a weak reputation that it has its own nickname; (2) Malawi's nation is unknown to me; (4) Metro UK is on the list of unreliable sources; (5) and (6) are unknown; and (7) is basically a press release from a company that provided charity.

Delete. Brisbane is undoubtedly a large and prominent enough city that substantive and well-sourced articles about its city councillors would be kept under WP:NPOL #2, but this isn't reaching that bar. We would need to see content about her political impact — specific things she did, specific projects she spearheaded, significant effects her work had on the development of the city, that sort of thing — but apart from one minor misconduct allegation that doesn't rise to that level of significance, this is otherwise referenced almost entirely to primary source verification of her vote totals on election day, which isn't support for notability. A keepable article about a local politician at the city council level has to be a hell of a lot more than just a summary of her electoral record. Bearcat (talk) 16:27, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Conologue, Indiana

Baker (p.101) says that this was a post office, and warns that we might have to search for Conlogue. So I did. The printed 1980s version of the GNIS database records this as "Conologue Post Office", which is a bit of a clue in itself. I found Conlogue in Jackson in an 1869 government listing of post offices.
But those of you fresh from the discussion of Fleming, Indiana (AfD discussion) will enjoy what I found after that, which was Conlogue in a table on p.65 of the 1876 Monitor Guide to Post Offices and Railroad Stations in the United States and Canada which says "(R.R. name, Fleming's)". So this is the earlier name for the post office by Fleming's station on the O&M.
But other than the shipping guides and post office directories: I found nothing.

Delete both Conologue and Fleming. Thanks for your effort, Uncle G, and if we have to do this much digging to find whether a place actually existed, and there is still uncertainty, then we don't have enough info for an article. Essentially a WP:V fail. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 12:23, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It meets WP:GEOLAND: a quick search of Newspapers.com shows that it had a school up to at least 1947, a cemetery, and a church in the 1960s and 1970s. There were still burials at Conologue Cemetery up to 2021. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:20, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, then where is it? The church is not at the location that GNIS gives for the "populated place", and looking at where the church was on the topos (and there is a building at that location appearing in the aerials up to 1960; it disappears before the next one in 1983), it sits in isolation; there's no town there. Unless the news clip says, there's no indication where the school was, and in any case neither schools nor churches require towns to exist. Again, it's a familiar issue: without direct evidence of a town from people talking about it as such, there's nothing inconsistent with this being a locale with no distinct village/town. Mangoe (talk) 22:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - This article from 1986 [55] explains where Conologue school house, church and cemetery were (are, in the case of the cemetery). Looking at the sources again, I find none that describe Conologue as a town or village - at most they say "Conologue community". They all say things like "Conologue school, Redding township". I am now !voting to Merge this article (and the Fleming one) to Redding Township, Jackson County, Indiana - and editing that to list Unincorporated Communities (like Conologue) or to list schools, churches, etc (there are plenty of newspaper articles that do just that - eg, they published scores for each school in Jackson County, by township). There are sources which can be included in the Redding article to provide information about its facilities over time. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:39, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'm going to add other sources here, so they are available to add either to this article, if kept, or to Redding Township, Jackson County, Indiana. A 1963 report of a fire refers to "the old Conologue school" [56]. Sisters Eva and Phoebe Brooks Quinn reminisce in 1990 about Fleming and Conologue [57]. School attendance records in Jackson county, 1932, part 1 [58] and part 2 [59]. 100 year old Lydia Nichter tells kindergarten students about Conologue school etc [60]. Schools in Jackson county listed by townships (Redding and Carr) and scored, part 1 [61] and part 2 [62]. Jackson County Fair display about old schools, 1995, part 1 [63] and end of article [64].
    - I strongly disagree with an "unincorporated community" list in the township, simply because these aren't unincorporated communities. That's just sweeping the mess elsewhere. Yes, listing schools and churches is the way to go; and in other states this is what the (19th century) sources themselves do, too. In Kansas, for example, the government reports have lists of schools and churches in the Board of Agriculture annual reports (Biennial report — Kansas State Board of Agriculture at the HathiTrust Digital Library) for each individual county. The real question is whether Indiana naturally breaks down by county or by township as far as sourcing is concerned. Uncle G (talk) 11:26, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      Is there a source that names unincorporated communities in Indiana? Conologue and other places like it seem to meet the definition of unincorporated community given in Unincorporated area#United States. 1920s papers (eg Jackson County Banner and The Tribune (Seymour, Indiana)) published social information for communities like Conologue, Spraytown, Indiana, and others with hard-to-search names like Oak Grove, Pleasant Ridge, etc - examples from 1926 here [65] and here [66]. Here's a notice to Conologue Community in 1928 [67]. People are described as "of Conologue" as late as 1956 [68]. This is not at all my area of expertise, and I'm not going to put more time into it. It may need someone to write more histories or directories of whatever these places are/were. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:16, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Especially as Baker says (p.133) outright that it was a railway station that later gained a post office. ☺ After no success with a lot of histories and gazetteers, I finally located this as Fleming's in a table on page 80 of W. F. Allen's 1874 Gazetteer of Railway Stations in the United States and the Dominion of Canada. It was on the Ohio & Mississippi. That source says that the station served a population of 200, but makes no statement about what form that population took. Fleming's is in the station listing for the O&M in James Macfarlane's 1890 An American Geological Railway Guide too. The post office is in the 1899 USPS directory. But no Lippincott's nor the Thomas gazetteer has a Fleming or Fleming's, out of the several that they do have, in Indiana. Uncle G (talk) 08:16, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete, does not appear to meet WP:GEOLAND. The only result I have found so far in Newspapers.com is this [69] from 1975, about a road crossing a railroad "at or near Fleming, Spencer-Redding Township", that two farmers used to get to their farms. It's not easy to search, as Fleming is a common surname, and there was a school in Duckcreek township called Fleming School five miles north and one mile east of Elwood, Indiana - but unlike Conologue, Indiana, it does not have lots of mentions as an inhabited place.

Keep Gabriel Edgal – Meets WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV

I believe the article Gabriel Edgal meets Wikipedia’s General Notability Guidelines (WP:GNG) and Significant Coverage (WP:SIGCOV) standards based on the following points:
	1.	Substantial Leadership & Notability in African Banking
	•	Gabriel Edgal has held executive leadership roles in major financial institutions across Africa, including:
	•	CEO of Oakwood Green Africa, a financial and trade advisory firm.
	•	Promoter of Bloom Bank Africa, a banking group with operations in Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
	•	Former CEO of First Atlantic Bank Ghana (2013–2016).
	•	Former Africa CEO for United Bank for Africa (UBA), overseeing 18 African countries.
	•	His leadership across multiple financial institutions aligns with WP:ANYBIO, which recognizes significant figures in business and finance.
	2.	Independent, Reliable Media Coverage (Meets WP:SIGCOV)
	•	Gabriel Edgal has been featured in multiple independent news articles, discussing his impact on banking, digital finance, and trade facilitation in Africa.
	•	Here are key references demonstrating substantial coverage in independent sources:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZL78wJyPiw Trade Finance & Economic Policies (YouTube)]

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3TTrrHZJEk Afreximbank Discussion (YouTube)]

	•	These sources provide substantial coverage beyond routine announcements, focusing on his impact in trade finance and banking innovation.

	3.	Comparable Wikipedia Articles Exist

	•	Gabriel Edgal’s notability and media coverage are similar to other African banking executives who have Wikipedia pages, such as:
	•	Daniel Wilson Addo – CEO of Consolidated Bank Ghana. [https://en.wikipedia.orgview.php?sq=&lang=&q=Daniel_Wilson_Addo Daniel Wilson Addo]
	•	Given his equal or greater recognition and media coverage, his article aligns with precedent cases for business leaders.

	4.	Alternative to Deletion – Consider Draftification

	•	If concerns remain regarding WP:SIGCOV, I propose moving the article to Draft space instead of deletion.
	•	This will allow further improvements, sourcing, and verification rather than outright removal.

Gabriel Edgal is a highly notable figure in African banking with independent media coverage that meets Wikipedia’s notability standards. Instead of deletion, I suggest retaining or draftifying the article while improving references.

Added a Filmdienst entry containing a very very short critical assessment. And a Hollywood Reporter entry. I would tend to think that the film making the cover of Scars is an indication too, with the opening editorial.(2 issues have interviews about the film (March and October 2009] Added 2 other reviews (Horror.com and Horror Society, see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Horror/Sources#Reliable_sources about the latter).

Adam B. Sefkow

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

Assistant professor who works on team projects in high-energy physics with no major awards, WP:TOOSOON. Page was Prodded since his h-factor of 35 is small for the field, particularly as almost all of his publications have 5-32 coauthors. PROD was opposed by Espresso Addict with the argument that 35 is enough to possibly pass WP:NPROF#C1, it appears unaware of the consensus that h-factors have to be field normalized. As has previously been discussed at WT:NPROF, an h-factor of 35 is very notable in math; a good start in solid-state physics and low for high-energy physics. There is also the need to consider the number of authors, de-emphasizing large team citations such as he has been involved in. Ldm1954 (talk) 06:39, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Not unaware of any of that, just unkeen to set a trend of uncontested prods of academics with that kind of citation profile. I don't pay much attention to the h-index, more to the total citations and the citations of the top papers. Here both appear healthy (5386 in total, with the top papers 732, 506, 242, 189, 178 and a further ten papers >100); I don't think the wider discussion of AfD is unwarranted even if it turns out I'm the lone soul opposing deletion. Will look into it a bit further on the morrow. Espresso Addict (talk) 06:54, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very few of these papers have anything like 150 coauthors; they are mostly in the range of ~12–20. Ignoring those with >=10 coauthors, the top papers seem to be 732, 189 (1st author), 120, 110, 72. Several of those I've omitted, Sefkow was placed third, which at least in fields I know would be one of the major contributors (1st, 2nd, 3rd, last). There's also the award, which I'd say was more early to mid (under 42 years) than early career. I'm coming down on neutral; I don't feel an urgency to delete, but I'm willing to go with the flow. It would be good to hear from the article creator, Debrah Minkoff. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:41, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. In a field where some of his highly-cited publications have 150 coauthors, we cannot set much store on h-index and citation counts of all publications. This sort of pattern of publication immediately gives most researchers publications with high citation counts, and the h-index is merely an indicator of longevity, not of being a leader. It is too indiscriminate and I don't think the standard should merely be that all high-energy physicists are notable. Alternatives are to look for notable awards and society fellowships, distinguished and named professorships, or heavily-cited first-author papers. His "Design of magnetized liner inertial fusion experiments using the Z facility" is first-author and has triple-digit citations, but it's the only one. He is an assistant professor so WP:PROF#C5 is out of reach. There is a 2017 reference for two awards [75], but one is really just a startup grant (not a prize or medal) and the other is also an early-career award [76]. I don't think it's enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:17, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The best that I can turn up are books on the mining industry (e.g. ISBN 9780118843553) that report that the quarry that you see here in Armley (which was a township and an ecclesiastical parish) was a mine into the Elland flagstone, and a couple of 1960s sources breathlessly announcing modernization programmes that report that it was flattened and built over by (subcontractors to) the Leeds Corporation in the 1960s.

Center, Jay County, Indiana

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

Once again the evidence for this being a "village" is Baker's say-so, and he has proven to be a weak reed. There is a cemetery, because there is a church, and that is what is there now. I expected searching to be mostly fruitless and so it mostly was, and in particular I didn't turn up a handy county history. But I did turn up this account of the founding of this church (which is very handsome on the outside, BTW) which turns out to have been United Brethren, at least when it was started; the largest portion of the UB church was eventually folded into the UMC, and in any case I could not tell whether the church is still in use. Anyway, what's particularly interesting about the account is that while it indicates that there was once a schoolhouse at the location, it rather conspicuously says nothing about a town. This proves nothing of course, but I would remind newcomers that a schoolhouse is not proof of a town either. That's basically all I found; possibly someone can find out more.

This article does not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for biographies (WP:BIO). The subject lacks significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The citations provided are either self-published, primary sources, or trivial mentions. The Los Angeles Book Festival award appears to be a pay-to-play contest rather than a widely recognized literary honor. The bibliography consists entirely of self-published works, which do not contribute to notability. Additionally, the National Geographic reference does not substantiate the claim regarding the winery. Given the lack of verifiable, independent coverage, this article does not demonstrate the subject’s encyclopedic notability and should be considered for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NicholasEyes (talk • contribs) 03:01, February 6, 2025 (UTC)

If you are aware of any reliable sources that establish her notability as a singer (or anything else), please add them to the article. Without the existence of such sources, notability can't be proven and the article should be deleted. Martey (talk) 20:10, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't agree that "this person is clearly a big celebrity" or even that she is "famous". Her IMDb page has only 4 news items (see https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0547234/news/ ), all of which were to report her marriage to Antonio Sabato Jr. I wouldn't consider Sabato that big a star, but IMDb has 223 news items about him. And to compare that to someone who is clearly a superstar, IMDb has over 40,000 news items about Taylor Swift. Judging from the sources in this article, it appears that to the extent that Nunes receives any media coverage at all, it is WP:INHERITED from her relationship with Sabato, as all of the cited sources other than her own web site include Sabato's name in the headline. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:21, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bobtown, Indiana

The interesting thing is reading Baker, p. 71. Baker tells us that xe can only guess at what this is because it doesn't appear any maps that xe has consulted. It's like reading a deletion nomination rationale straight out of the source. ☺
Wanting to be thorough, although one could just leave it at that, I did some looking. There's a biography of John Mellencamp (ISBN 9780857128430) that says that this was the original working title of The Lonesome Jubilee because Mellencanp's grandparents "once lived there".
Other than that, though, I have turned up nothing. There are some soil surveys that name a soil type after this, but they aren't documenting the (supposed) town. The gazetteers only turn up the place in Massachusetts. I couldn't even construct more than a vague opening sentence of an article, with zero hope for expansion or clarification, because even the biography only narrows it down to Jackson County, and is only indirectly reporting the existence of the place based upon Mellencanp's recollection of how xe named a music album. For a place, I'd prefer a geographer to a biographer.
Uncle G (talk) 17:06, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I added a 2015 local newspaper article source, as well as a Billboard magazine cite about the Mellencamp connection. The property owner name Mellencamp appears right near the location on some plat maps. eg [84]; though not listed as "Bobtown" on that one, you can see where the school was located, and there are a bunch of smaller plots centered at the location. It was/is an unincorporated community which has receded into remembrance, like so many U.S. midwestern locales.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 22:24, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Adding: there are 101 hits for "Bobtown" in the archives of the Seymour Daily Republican (1898-1920), on internet archive [85]. Mostly mundane reporting of what's happening in the community. But more than enough to show it was a recognized populated community.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 22:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - Checking out a random sampling of the Daily Republican and finding random things like reports of football teams with "CORTLAND" as the headline, and "Lawrence Phegley sold a cow" without any sort of clue about a Bobtown, this seems to be another case of counting the number of hits rather than reading the sources. I challenge you to find just two of those newspaper hits that actually tell you what Bobtown is, the basic "Bobtown is a …" introduction part of an article. Should be easy, right, with 101 of them? So prove it. And as you note, Billboard is Mellencamp's recollection, as I discussed above. That map that doesn't say Bobtown at all is a contraindication, if anything, and yet more support for Baker saying that this isn't on any maps at all. The only real source is Spicer, which you've mis-cited by the way, but which doesn't say vital things like that it was a town, or a village, or even a hamlet. There's a one-room rural school and grocery story run by a Bob that apparently gave rise to a nickname. Uncle G (talk) 02:36, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete even if somehow notable (doubtful, and the article's 0 sources do not go any way to proving that) nothing here is salvageable. Knitting is not defining for any of these anyway, and almost all are not notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 07:28, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I think the broader topic of knitting in literature would plausibly be notable — a quick search found quite a few sources that discuss it as a literary theme (e.g. [86] [87] [88]). But WP:NLIST would require sources that discuss "characters who knit" as a group or set, and I'm not really seeing any evidence of that. There are sources that use specific characters/texts to analyse how knitting features in literature, but none that describe "knitters" as a defined group. And I agree with PARAKANYAA that there's really nothing salvageable here, this is just an unexplained collection of characters who happen to be described knitting. MCE89 (talk) 10:37, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or possibly merge to Knitting. This is both fun and obscure, but as obscure does not mean not notable: @An anonymous username, not my real name: Was the opinion that this topic is trivial and I don't think there are enough major literary characters double-checked with the WP:BEFORE search which is required before a deletion nomination? Looking at the sources brought up MCE89, I cannot access the first one, but the other two to me seem to cover "knitters in literature" as a group at least as much as "knitting in literature", both having (female) knitters already in the title. The book Sock by a reputable publisher likewise covers knitters in literature as a group starting p. 99. So I think these establish the minimum for notability and WP:NLIST. For other sources like Victorian Needlework and Cult Media, Fandom, and Textiles knitting may be in the forefront, but they still talk about various knitters, and showcase that them being knitters may not be their central trait, but has a specific relevance for each character.

Now, granted, a clear inclusion critereon is not defined so far, but that's a problem that can be solved on the talk page is therefore no grounds for deletion. I would suggest to use secondary sources, both those listed and others, and then only keep those characters where secondary sources talk about them knitting being a characteristic. If this should in the end lead to a short list, it can be merged to Knitting. If someone wants to reorient this article to cover the knitters in literature embedded in a Knitting in literature article, I have no objections. But again that would be no grounds to delete everything first. Daranios (talk) 16:13, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These sources are good, but I still would argue that they discuss Knitting in literature more than knitters in literature.

Comment In its current state, this is just a pure collection of WP:RAWDATA absent any meaningful context or analysis. That does not an article make. It does not even make for the beginnings of an article. The editors who say that there is nothing to salvage here is correct—whether the topic is theoretically notable doesn't really enter into it. This is rather a textbook example of violating WP:INDISCRIMINATE/WP:NOTDATABASE, which says To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As such, WP:DELREASON#14—Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia—applies. Analysis, not examples, is what makes an encyclopedic article (examples can support the analysis, but can never replace it). It seems likely that a Knitting in literature/Knitting in culture/Knitting in fiction article (or whatever title is most suitable) would be appropriate, but there is nothing at the page presently under discussion that would be of any use whatsoever for that.

@An anonymous username, not my real name: Thinking over, really it's more a merge of concept then info, since unless more sources can be found regarding those characters specifically(possible!), the only good sources I've seen are the Believer and Port Jeff ones I linked above(neither of which are used in the list being discussed), which could be used to make a small section on knitting in culture with examples on the Knitting article, IMO. I do think finding enough sources for Knitting in culture would be best overall. PixDeVl ~~yell~~ talk to me! 05:04, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Of the sources found so far, I think only this: An Incomplete Survey of Fictional Knitters could be used to justify this article's existence. However, the broader concept of knitting in literature has received some scholarly attention (e.g. "knit lit" about characters who join knitting circles) so I would support this list being included in a separate article such as Knitting in fiction, Knitting in culture, etc. Astaire (talk) 02:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
