2025-05-02 | Crunk Energy Drink (Ohio based beverage company) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (1 relist) (This description of an obscure energy drink doesn't pass notability guidelines. Its only indication of notability is association with Lil John. We don't make Wikipedia articles on subjects that are only "famous" because of their association with something or someone else, according to notability policies. Also, only one citation, from a business journal in 2007. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 04:55, 25 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-03 | Purefoods Corned Beef | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (All the sources I found and in the article is a bunch of passing mention. No significant coverage on the sources listed on the article and even on the web. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 11:23, 3 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-04 | List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Andorra | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Without broader coverage of Michelin-starred restaurants in Andorra as a group, the topic does not warrant a stand-alone list, especially with only a single entry and no reasonable expectation of more in the near future. Mooonswimmer 04:11, 4 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-05 | Globalization of wine | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (1 relist) (This article mostly duplicates existing, better articles. It has featured various improvement tags dating back to 2008, and seemingly was PRODded in 2020 - which was only removed this week (I'm not sure how that happened). I think at this point it's fairly safe to say WP:TNT applies, as it's got very little reedeming it.
In addition the article seems largely to be an essay, failing WP:NOT. CoconutOctopus talk 13:01, 27 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-08 | St. Dalfour France (French food company) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (1 relist) (lacks independent, reliable sources to establish notability as required by Wikipedia guidelines. Xrimonciam (talk) 08:33, 30 April 2025 (UTC)) |

2025-04-30 | Miracle Foundation (Nonprofit organization) | AfD (2 k, 3 d) (1 relist) (Subject doesn't seem to be notable enough to warrant its own article. I feel like the subject isn't notable, and even if it was, it would likely be a case of WP:BLP1E. For example, the People and USA Today article are solid to establish notability, but with one catch - that's only about the founder starting the nonprofit. There's no sustained coverage aside from that. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 22 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-01 | Haveli Investments (Private equity firm based in Austin, Texas) | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (Fails WP:NCORP. Sourced to funding and acquisition announcements, which are typically not counted toward notability per WP:ORGTRIV. ~ A412 talk! 04:41, 1 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-01 | Gambling Zone | AfD (0 k, 5 d) (Only the most passing of mentions or sources that don't mention the company. A BEFORE search didn't turn up anything that meets WP:NCORP. BuySomeApples (talk) 21:40, 1 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-01 | Fetch.AI | AfD (2 k, 4 d) (Article has no sources and previous content was filled with non RS and self published sources and was partially written by someone who was paid for it.
As it currently stands, the article would need to be blanked in order to meet verifiability standards. Laura240406 (talk) 09:43, 1 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-02 | Jon Vlassopulos | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (1 relist) (Lack of notability; cites all fundamentally about Napster. I'd redirect there, but he does not seem to be mentioned in the article. TheLongTone (talk) 15:23, 25 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-02 | Teng Lin (Chinese actor (born 1971)) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (This fails WP:NACTOR. All sources are none WP:RS Ednabrenze (talk) 07:30, 2 May 2025 (UTC)) |

2025-05-03 | PULSAR: Lost Colony (2021 video game) | AfD (2 k, 0 d) (1 relist) (Game appears to fail WP:GNG, with the only two publications that are reliable and covered it being Rock Paper Shotgun and The Games Machine, therefore causing it to fall just short of the typical threshold. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:38, 25 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-03 | Sanjay Sehgal (Short description about living business executive.) | AfD (0 k, 4 d) (Non-notable Indian-American businessman. The sources do not support notability. We have:
Nothing else qualifying came up in my BEFORE search, but if you search do note there are several other Sanjay Sehgals out there; this is the one who works for MSys. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:34, 3 May 2025 (UTC)) |

2025-05-03 | JSON Resume (Project to standardize résumé formats) | AfD (0 k, 4 d) (Fails WP:GNG. Sourced almost exclusively to primary sources; additional searching found blog posts but no coverage in reliable sources. ~ A412 talk! 15:46, 3 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-03 | SNARF (acronym) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Fails WP:NOTDICTIONARY as a non-notable WP:NEO. Does not appear to have caught on past its initial coinage and reporting. ~ A412 talk! 15:35, 3 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-03 | Spring Engine (Real-time strategy game engine) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (Seems to fail WP:GNG. Previous AfD in 2010 was not very convincing, with a lot of trivial coverage thrown around. Notability is not inherited, so a game engine is not notable because the games it was used in are. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:59, 3 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-03 | Bendy (character) (Fictional character from Bendy and the Ink Machine) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (Article does not assert notability and is cited to unreliable sources. Attempts were made to redirect it, but they were reverted under the logic that it was featured on a different language Wikipedia, which is not a valid argument to keep an article. Cukie Gherkin (talk) 21:47, 3 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-04 | Huijiwiki (Chinese web hosting service for wikis) | AfD (1 k, 2 d) (1 relist) (Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 15:30, 26 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-04 | Habromania (Upcoming video game) | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (Fails WP: GNG; subject has lack of significant coverage online, with only a single article from an unknown reliability website being passable. Other sources include the game's profile in reputable sources like IGN which include no significant coverage other than a single trailer. Other sources includes the game's website (primary source), an Instagram link (removed) and a marketplace link to a soft toy associated with the game. The game does not display sufficient notability and significant coverage to warrant its article. MimirIsSmart (talk) 02:41, 4 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-05 | Fuzz Academy | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Can't find a lick of reliable secondary coverage apart from a one sentence in an NPR profile of the creator, a successful author. I've added mention to the creator's biography based on that source. This can go. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 04:38, 5 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-05 | DeepSource | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (This company does not meet the notability guideline for corporations. The only coverage of this corporation is from trade publications. The existing sources are either unreliable (Forbes) or routine coverage (TechCrunch). voorts (talk/contributions) 21:22, 5 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-05 | Muckleball | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (Very poor sourcing and no evidence of notability found when searching online. The 4 sources at the moment are [1] a crowdsourced local paper, not a real journalistic reliable source: [2] an opinion piece: [3] a self-published book; [4] and a 1911 article about a baseball game called the Muckleball game, with no indication at all that this is in any way related to what is described in the Wikipedia article. These issues were discussed with the editor, but to no avail. Fram (talk) 08:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-05 | FlowerAura (Indian multinational e-commerce company) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Page was speedily deleted on May 2 and subsequently recreated. I again tagged for deletion, which was declined by Bbb23.
As for the actual article, sources are all promotional fluff, interviews, or flat-out press releases copies. It would need a fundamental rewrite and much better sourcing. JTtheOG (talk) 18:52, 5 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-05 | JurisTech (Malaysian financial technology company) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (fails WP:NCORP/WP:ORGCRIT and the broader WP:GNG. All listed citations are either routine local business pieces such as The Star, The Edge Malaysia and The Malaysian Reserve, re‑posted press‑release material on company or partner blogs, or passing mentions (e.g. a single paragraph in The Founder's Mentality). None provides the sustained, in‑depth, independent secondary coverage required by policy. The one heavily repeated story – CTOS Digital’s 2022 purchase of a 49 % stake – is a standard business transaction and therefore WP:ROUTINE; routine corporate deals do not in themselves confer notability. AndesExplorer (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | Easy Languages (YouTube) | AfD (3 k, 0 d) (2 relists) (This YouTube channel does not meet the inclusion criteria. After reviewing the cited sources, it is clear that there is a lack of significant, independent, and reliable coverage necessary to establish notability. The first two sources are interviews with the subject, which are inherently not independent and cannot be used to demonstrate notability. The third source, published by the University of Münster (uni-muenster), also fails the independence test, as the host of the YouTube channel appears to be an alumna of the same university. The fifth source cited in the article does not mention the YouTube channel at all. Junbeesh (talk) 08:16, 21 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | Rise of Kingdoms (2018 video game) | AfD (2 k, 1 d) (1 relist) (Fails WP:GNG. This game has got to hold the record for fewest words of review written per dollar earned, as there's been nearly nothing written about Rise of Kingdoms's gameplay. The article's reception section cites three unreliable sources and an Arkansas newspaper.
There's been slightly more written about its marketing and sales, but I don't think it's enough to hold an article about the game together. ~ A412 talk! 07:51, 28 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | Canopy (app) | AfD (4 k, 4 d) (1 relist) (The app`s article lacks sufficient coverage from independent, reliable sources to establish the app's notabili Hopkinkse (talk) 15:29, 28 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | Belenso T. Yimchunger ISRO Certificate Controversy (Controversy surrounding a fabricated ISRO certificate linked to a Naga innovator) | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (WP:BLPCRIME. The prod was removed because "WP:BLPCRIME only applies when the editor has a serious conflict of interest with the subject of the article. " which is completely incorrect. This is a WP:BLP1E known for only issue, a minor accusation of fabricating a certificate. Fram (talk) 11:44, 6 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | GR8 Tech (Cypriot technology company) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Non-notable gambling company, sourced mostly with WP:TRADES. Fails WP:NCORP. Gheus (talk) 09:57, 6 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | WoodenStreet (Omnichannel furniture company in India) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (The article reads overly promotional and borders on G11. It needs a complete rewrite for neutral tone, but only if notability is established. When discounting routine business coverage such as press releases, funding announcements, and store opening updates, there is virtually no significant, in-depth coverage from reliable, independent secondary sources. Some cited success stories and profiles appear to be from dubious sources. Chanel Dsouza (talk) 07:52, 6 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | Samson Mow (Canadian businessman) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (promo nonsense about a dude who has a job with lots of fancy wikilinked words, but no meaningful independent coverage of him or his companies - in any language. It's all PR and passing mentions, if Mow is even mentioned at all. BUNNYDICAE🐇 20:40, 6 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | Infinity learn | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (it fails to demonstrate notability through independent, reliable sources, relying instead on press releases and affiliated content. Its promotional tone and lack of in-depth third-party coverage make it unsuitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Xrimonciam (talk) 08:32, 6 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-06 | PUSCII | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (There does not seem to be any reliable independent coverage on this center. Afonso Dimas Martins (talk) 18:46, 6 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-07 | The Bubble (DVD based games console) (Interactive DVD-based video game console) | AfD (1 k, 5 d) (1 relist) (Fails WP:NPRODUCT. Very limited coverage provided. The article is mostly sourced by user-generated Marketplace product listings, which is far from a reliable source. The LocoLabs sources are primary references by the manufacturer. The Marketing Week source seems to be an affiliate announcement about Bandai's marketing campaign for the product. There just unfortunately isn't enough evidence of any mainstream coverage to suggest that this is a product notable enough to merit encyclopedic treatment. VRXCES (talk) 07:12, 30 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-07 | Toon Blast (2017 video game) | AfD (3 k, 0 d) (1 relist) (Doesn't seem like a notable video game. Despite apparently being a big success, it has only gotten trivial mentions in reliable sources, besides the Pocket Gamer article that feels like a press release. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:13, 29 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-07 | 2204355 (2010 internet meme) | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (Limited sources available (Mediate, Time, Salon.com, Daily Mail based on my searching) and only coverage for about a week - no sustained coverage. Don't think it meets GNG. Upjav (talk) 15:19, 7 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-07 | Crystal Williams (cosmetologist) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Subject does not appear to be notable per WP:GNG.

WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 17:32, 7 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-07 | Jima Francis (South Sudanese journalist) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (This South Sudanese journalist does not appear to be notable under WP:GNG, WP:NBIO. Sources in the article (or found in BEFORE search) are all his own writing ([5]) or sources affiliated with him and thus not independent ([6], [7], [8], [9]). Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:25, 7 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-07 | Seniorly.com | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (An article about a company, twice moved to draft by other editors but then returned to mainspace by the article creator. The given sources are start-up coverage about the firm's aspirations and announcement-based coverage which falls under WP:CORPTRIV. Searches find more pieces by the company co-founder (e.g. [10]) and alumni profiles ([11]) but there does not appear to be sufficient coverage about the company to demonstrate that it has attained notability. AllyD (talk) 12:15, 7 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-08 | Qifang (Chinese online peer-to-peer lending community) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (nn long dead business --Altenmann >talk 05:53, 8 May 2025 (UTC)) |

2025-05-08 | Roobet (Online gambling website) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (There are a couple categories of claims to significance here, none of which I believe pass the bar of WP:NCORP. The first is being banned from Twitch. The announcements don't consist of significant coverage of the company itself, and largely don't focus on Roobet, naming it as one of the companies affected by the ban. The other is their sponsorships of a CS:GO tournament and various sports organizations. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED from their sponsored tournaments and teams and sponsorship announcements are generally construed to fail WP:ORGTRIV. ~ A412 talk! 17:08, 8 May 2025 (UTC)) |

2025-05-03 | Spencer Reid (Character in American television series Criminal Minds) | AfD (2 k, 1 d) (1 relist) (Largely not sourced, entirely plot summary. Character does not pass WP:GNG.

2025-05-03 | Atibala | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Article fails WP:GNG. Most of the detail is unsourced and possibly WP:OR (e.g. "He had been created by Ravana as a test-tube baby."). Only sourced detail "Atibala was a servant of Lanka king Ravana." can be added on Ravana page if it can be verified, but the current detail fails verification from the source - source says Atibala was Yama in form of a sannyasin.

2025-05-03 | Great Intelligence (Fictional character in the TV series Doctor Who) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (Genuinely surprised by the lack of coverage that exists for this character. I was hoping to improve his article, as its current Reception is primarily plucking smaller quotes and trivial mentions from larger episode reviews, but a search through News, Books, and Scholar yielded very little. All I found was plot summary of the character's appearances and trivial, scattered mentions that don't amount to SIGCOV. The few hits I found that were even close to significant- and indeed the only coverage in the current article that is- are about the Yeti, creations of the Intelligence who somehow have more actual tangible discussion than the Intelligence. This character just lacks any form of significant coverage to justify a whole article, and per NOPAGE, I'd support a redirect or merge to the Yeti article, as they are the subject most closely associated with the Intelligence and thus the best place to put information regarding the Intelligence's character.

2025-05-05 | Steppin' Out (magazine) (magazine) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (1 relist) (Non-notable magazine that is apparently out of publication. Unable to find any sources discussing it. The single source that was standing to the article is to a website that was removed or otherwise blacklisted from archive.org, which is a red flag. Further, about the only thing I found on this publication indicates that its last article was published about four years ago.

2025-05-05 | Children of Henry VIII (List of the children of Henry VIII) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (I don't think there's enough here to be a standalone article like Wives of Henry VIII.

2025-05-07 | Bahishti Zewar (Book by Ashraf Ali Thanwi) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (There is no doubt that the subject is notable as a book. However, the authorship of the book is highly disputed, and even the content variations are debatable. This issue has been discussed by Ahlehaqmedia, a scholarly website. In its current form, the article would need to be entirely rewritten based on reliable sources. Given the present structure and sourcing, it is not suitable as a standalone article.

2025-05-07 | James Nunn (artist) (British illustrator, print maker, and book cover artist) | AfD (3 k, 2 d) (2 relists) (Nunn appears to be a successful professional in his field of illustration, but after a fair bit of looking I can't turn up much proper, independent sigcov. None of his three illustrated books pass a strict WP:NBOOK, though the Corbyn Colouring Book got a good number of brief mentions. I found a non-independent interview, but no proper profiles. I don't see WP:NCREATIVE or WP:GNG here. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:17, 23 April 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-07 | Radi Ibrahim Nuhu (Tanzanian author and narrator (born 1996)) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (Advertorialized WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as passing WP:AUTHOR. As always, writers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to pass certain specific defined inclusion criteria supported by reliable source coverage about them and their work -- that is, you don't make a writer notable enough for Wikipedia by referencing his books to Amazon or Barnes & Noble as proof that they exist, you make a writer notable enough for Wikipedia by referencing his books to media coverage about them (analytical reviews by professional literary critics, journalist-written news articles about him, verification of winning notable literary awards, etc.) as proof that they garnered independent third-party attention. But this is referenced entirely to either online bookstores or the subject's own self-published social networking presence, with not a whit of WP:GNG-building reliable source coverage shown at all.

2025-05-03 | Mathew Beard | AfD (1 k, 5 d) (In this entry's third AfD nomination, the intuitive votes would appear to be Keep or Delete, rather than Merge/redirect. The first nomination in December 2007 — WP:Articles for deletion/Mathew Beard, with three votes — resulted in deletion. It was recreated in 2012 and nominated — WP:Articles for deletion/Mathew Beard (2nd nomination) — in November 2018. There were three Delete votes, one Delete/redirect vote and three Merge/redirect votes, resulting in Mathew Beard redirecting to either List of American supercentenarians#100 oldest known Americans or List of the verified oldest people#100 verified oldest men (currently redirecting to the latter). However, his name does not appear on either list, nor anywhere else in English Wikipedia, thus making the Mathew Beard redirect that appears among similarly-named men on the Mat Beard disambiguation page completely unhelpful.

As always, unsuccessful candidates for political office are not notable on that basis per se, and get articles only if they can be properly demonstrated to have established notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article on those other grounds anyway -- but this basically just says that he had a law career without saying anything about it that would constitute a meaningful notability claim as a lawyer, and is "referenced" solely to his paid-inclusion obituary in the local newspaper rather than any meaningful reliable source coverage about him and his work. A prior deletion discussion in 2011 landed "keep" on the grounds of claims that he had sufficient RS coverage to pass WP:GNG, but the sources brought to bear in that discussion consisted entirely of sources that namechecked him, mostly as a party spokesman providing soundbites to the media in articles about the party, rather than being about him in any meaningful sense -- but we've long since deprecated that type of sourcing as not contributing to notability, and none of it ever actually found its way into the article at all anyway. Nothing here is "inherently" notable without GNG-worthy sourcing for it, but we need to see sources in which he's the subject of the coverage, not just sources that quote him as a spokesman, to deem him as passing GNG.

2025-05-04 | Nicole White (Canadian politician) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (WP:BLP of an activist and unelected political candidate, not properly sourced as having a strong claim to passing inclusion criteria. The attempted notability claim as a politician is that she was the first out LGBTQ candidate in a provincial election in her province, while the notability claim as an activist is that she was one of the several people who challenged Saskatchewan's marriage laws in the short time between Halpern and the Civil Marriage Act. But as always, candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, and have to show that they were already notable for other reasons independently of the candidacy. However, the "first LGBTQ candidate" thing is completely unreferenced and unverified (and note that we have seen more than one case in the past of people who were claimed as "first member of X minority group to do a thing" who turned out, upon investigation, to have been preceded by other people the article's creator just hadn't heard of, so we can't just take random internet users' word for it without sourcing), so that's not an instant notability freebie that would exempt her from having to pass WP:GNG on her sourcing — and it's questionable whether it would even be all that historically significant even if it were verifiable, given that her province had already elected at least two out LGBTQ municipal councillors (and one MLA who admittedly wasn't out at the time but came out later) before her. Meanwhile, the same-sex marriage lawsuit is referenced solely to a brief glancing namecheck of her existence in a magazine article about the overall case, rather than any significant coverage devoted specifically to her own personal role in it, and the rest of the referencing here consists entirely of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all. And, for added bonus, none of the other plaintiffs in the lawsuit have Wikipedia articles at all (not even the one who was also one of the city councillors whose time in office preceded White's campaign), and this article does absolutely nothing to demonstrate that White was somehow more individually notable than any of the others. And even on a WP:BEFORE search, about all I can find is a small blip of WP:BLP1E coverage upon her recent reception of an award that still isn't highly meganotable enough to confer an instant notability freebie in and of itself on a person who's otherwise poorly sourced.

As always, writers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to pass certain specific defined inclusion criteria supported by reliable source coverage about them and their work -- that is, you don't make a writer notable enough for Wikipedia by referencing his books to Amazon or Barnes & Noble as proof that they exist, you make a writer notable enough for Wikipedia by referencing his books to media coverage about them (analytical reviews by professional literary critics, journalist-written news articles about him, verification of winning notable literary awards, etc.) as proof that they garnered independent third-party attention. But this is referenced entirely to either online bookstores or the subject's own self-published social networking presence, with not a whit of WP:GNG-building reliable source coverage shown at all. It also warrants note that this has already been move-warred over: it started out in draftspace, then got moved into mainspace by its own creator without an WP:AFC review, then got redraftspaced by an experienced editor on the grounds of being inadequate, before being moved back into mainspace by its creator a second time without significant improvement or review.

Also nominating The Vampires of Bloody Island for deletion (no need to redirect this), which is the film Allin Kempthorne created. The only coverage that could be found for this is blatantly promotional ("we were forced to bring forward the release of this film because of an email campaign that no-one but us is the source for existing") and from sources of dubious reliability.

There's an interview w/ the founder in BBC Music blog, but I'm not convinced any of these are strong enough reliable sources for a notability argument. All the others are just mentions of Fika in the context of an album that has been released etc. WP:BEFORE in newspapers.com, google news/books, pressreader didn't turn up any additional coverage beyond mentions.

2025-05-07 | KCAY (Radio station in Saint George, Utah) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Rarely would I AfD such a recently created article, but this article should be a textbook case for editors returning to the radio stations field that haven't been around it in five or so years.
Once upon a time, the mere fact that a station had a broadcast license was enough in the eyes of observers to guarantee notability. As recently as 2019 or so, new-on-air stations like KCAY would have been eligible for an article as soon as they began broadcasting or sometimes before that. It is true that, historically, licensed radio stations often generated coverage significant to translate into notability, a correlation that was much stronger in the early years of this encyclopedia and held for many U.S. stations that originated their own programming at some point. But that has broken once and for all: We have had a revolution in our field that existence is not notability. If I go to the area near St. George, Utah, I could listen to KCAY on my radio. That does not, however, mean it is notable and worthy of a standalone article. A redirect to List of radio stations in Utah is merited, but nothing more.

The few hits I found that were even close to significant- and indeed the only coverage in the current article that is- are about the Yeti, creations of the Intelligence who somehow have more actual tangible discussion than the Intelligence. This character just lacks any form of significant coverage to justify a whole article, and per NOPAGE, I'd support a redirect or merge to the Yeti article, as they are the subject most closely associated with the Intelligence and thus the best place to put information regarding the Intelligence's character.

The article makes repeated statements about Palazzi winning individual "medals" at the gymnastics tournaments in Turin and Paris. In reality no individual medals were awarded until 1922, with individual scores (not medals) only being recognised retrospectively after 1922. Scores conferred retrospectively years after the event, as a statistical artefact, cannot indicate notability, since they are not subject to the same assumption that they will have generated significant coverage that usually attends such awards. Palazzi's team won the team bronze in Paris and Turin, but Palazzi does not inherit the notability of his team per WP:NTEAM. Nothing found in my WP:BEFORE.

But this is referenced entirely to either online bookstores or the subject's own self-published social networking presence, with not a whit of WP:GNG-building reliable source coverage shown at all. It also warrants note that this has already been move-warred over: it started out in draftspace, then got moved into mainspace by its own creator without an WP:AFC review, then got redraftspaced by an experienced editor on the grounds of being inadequate, before being moved back into mainspace by its creator a second time without significant improvement or review.

As always, unsuccessful candidates for political office are not notable on that basis per se, and get articles only if they can be properly demonstrated to have established notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article on those other grounds anyway -- but this basically just says that he had a law career without saying anything about it that would constitute a meaningful notability claim as a lawyer, and is "referenced" solely to his paid-inclusion obituary in the local newspaper rather than any meaningful reliable source coverage about him and his work. A prior deletion discussion in 2011 landed "keep" on the grounds of claims that he had sufficient RS coverage to pass WP:GNG, but the sources brought to bear in that discussion consisted entirely of sources that namechecked him, mostly as a party spokesman providing soundbites to the media in articles about the party, rather than being about him in any meaningful sense -- but we've long since deprecated that type of sourcing as not contributing to notability, and none of it ever actually found its way into the article at all anyway. Nothing here is "inherently" notable without GNG-worthy sourcing for it, but we need to see sources in which he's the subject of the coverage, not just sources that quote him as a spokesman, to deem him as passing GNG.

2025-05-04 | Nicole White (Canadian politician) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (WP:BLP of an activist and unelected political candidate, not properly sourced as having a strong claim to passing inclusion criteria. The attempted notability claim as a politician is that she was the first out LGBTQ candidate in a provincial election in her province, while the notability claim as an activist is that she was one of the several people who challenged Saskatchewan's marriage laws in the short time between Halpern and the Civil Marriage Act. But as always, candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, and have to show that they were already notable for other reasons independently of the candidacy. However, the "first LGBTQ candidate" thing is completely unreferenced and unverified (and note that we have seen more than one case in the past of people who were claimed as "first member of X minority group to do a thing" who turned out, upon investigation, to have been preceded by other people the article's creator just hadn't heard of, so we can't just take random internet users' word for it without sourcing), so that's not an instant notability freebie that would exempt her from having to pass WP:GNG on her sourcing — and it's questionable whether it would even be all that historically significant even if it were verifiable, given that her province had already elected at least two out LGBTQ municipal councillors (and one MLA who admittedly wasn't out at the time but came out later) before her. Meanwhile, the same-sex marriage lawsuit is referenced solely to a brief glancing namecheck of her existence in a magazine article about the overall case, rather than any significant coverage devoted specifically to her own personal role in it, and the rest of the referencing here consists entirely of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all. And, for added bonus, none of the other plaintiffs in the lawsuit have Wikipedia articles at all (not even the one who was also one of the city councillors whose time in office preceded White's campaign), and this article does absolutely nothing to demonstrate that White was somehow more individually notable than any of the others. And even on a WP:BEFORE search, about all I can find is a small blip of WP:BLP1E coverage upon her recent reception of an award that still isn't highly meganotable enough to confer an instant notability freebie in and of itself on a person who's otherwise poorly sourced.

As always, buildings are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage and analysis of their architectural, historical, social or cultural significance -- but this doesn't make any meaningful notability claim over and above existing, and is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that aren't support for notability. The only reliable source present here at all is an insurance industry trade magazine, which is here solely to tangentially verify the name of the company's CEO rather than supporting any information about the building in its own right. Since it's the headquarters of a company that does have an article under WP:CORP terms, any information we need about its head office can easily be contained in the company's article -- but in order to qualify for its own standalone article as a separate topic from the company, it would need a much stronger notability claim, and much better sourcing for it, than this.

2025-05-07 | KCAY (Radio station in Saint George, Utah) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Rarely would I AfD such a recently created article, but this article should be a textbook case for editors returning to the radio stations field that haven't been around it in five or so years.
Once upon a time, the mere fact that a station had a broadcast license was enough in the eyes of observers to guarantee notability. As recently as 2019 or so, new-on-air stations like KCAY would have been eligible for an article as soon as they began broadcasting or sometimes before that. It is true that, historically, licensed radio stations often generated coverage significant to translate into notability, a correlation that was much stronger in the early years of this encyclopedia and held for many U.S. stations that originated their own programming at some point. But that has broken once and for all: We have had a revolution in our field that existence is not notability. If I go to the area near St. George, Utah, I could listen to KCAY on my radio. That does not, however, mean it is notable and worthy of a standalone article. A redirect to List of radio stations in Utah is merited, but nothing more.

2025-05-03 | Deportation of Iraqis (Reverse ethnic cleansing of Iraqis (2003–2005)) | AfD (1 k, 3 d) (The article makes significant claims, such as the forced displacement of over one million Iraqi Arabs by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) between 2003 and 2005, yet the cited sources do not directly support these assertions with verifiable evidence or numeric data.
For example: Especially who says 1,000,000 million? Additionally, the topic overlaps with more comprehensive and better-sourced articles such as Ba'athist Arabization campaigns in northern Iraq and Arabization of Kirkuk, making this entry largely redundant. What reasoning supports calling it "deportation" when Arab settlers, originally relocated to Kurdish areas by the Ba'ath regime, were simply returned to their places of origin?

2025-05-07 | Northern Syrian regions | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (1 relist) (Although these do not automatically merit deletion, the article contains huge chunks of unsourced content and info not supported by the cited reference, which I will get to the details later. More importantly, the major problem with this article is that the concept is a WP:SYNTH. As far as I can see, none of the sources mention or delineate this specific "region". "Northern Syrian regions" is not a phrase precedented in reliable sources that specifically refers to these areas of Turkey. "Northern Syria", even within the context of Ottoman history, refers to a far broader region that contains much of modern Syria or Ottoman Syria, including Aleppo. I initially thought at best, this article could be moved to "Turkish Syria", which is mostly found in over a century-old sources but still also refers to Aleppo: [105] The idea I get from this article is that it describes the areas that would be under the Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon according to the Treaty of Sèvres, which did not come into full effect. If this were the case, that would be a content fork, too. Now, returning to WP:VERIFY issues, the list of failed verifications is long, but here are a couple of examples: Nowhere does a traveler mention in 1910 here Mardin Province is (or would be) ...% Arab in 1927 or in any year. Nowhere in Morality Tales: Law and Gender in the Ottoman Court of Aintab does Leslie P. Peirce mention the 1927, or say 1550, composition of the city of Aintab. Cited references include WP:SELFPUBLISHED maps such as this which ironically also fails verification. As of this revision, about 15-18 paragraphs do not include a single reference, not that the references necessarily support the content. Overall, assuming this weren't a content fork, it would have to be moved to a verifiable name that at least was utilized by 2-3 sources. Then, a complete cleanup would have to be done, and each bit would have to be verified with the cited reference. The insurmountable amount of issues crosses the region of WP:TNT, which is only assuming there is a way to solve the issues of WP:N, WP:REDUNDANTFORK, and WP:SYNTH.

The article nominated here (Korczak's orhpanages) is incorrectly linked to Q6431490 (all other wikis in it are about Dom Sierot specifically); it also doesn't make obvious the concept of "Korczak's orhpanages", combined, has stand-alone notability (I see some passing mentions in my BEFORE, but no clear SIGCOV). The current article has just one (non-English) reference and is a stub; I suggest deleting it as it also seems to contain many errors. For example, it gives dates for its two orphanages, unnamed, as 1911-1942 and 1918-1940. The dedicated Wiki articles have different dates (1912-1944) and 1919-1946, reactivated in 1991).

While, as expected by WP:NGO, the "scope of their activities is national [..] in scale", there is no indication that the org "has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization".

A search on national broadcaster RTÉ 's website returns a single passing mention. A similar search across the entire Irish Independent stable of national/regional/local papers also only returns a single passing mention. Same goes for the Irish Examiner (4 passing mentions), and The Journal (2 passing mentions). Even a broad Google search returns barely 80 results (including the org's own website, socials, the above passing mentions in news articles, and random mentions in Facebook/LinkedIn posts and press releases).

None offers the significant, independent, secondary coverage that policy requires. A thorough news‑database and web search turned up nothing beyond routine funding announcements and product‑launch snippets, which are explicitly classed as WP:ROUTINE and thus insufficient for notability.
The subject is also very young, so any claim to lasting notability is WP:TOOSOON.

In any case ,the underlying issue has gone unresolved. I conducted a truncated WP:BEFORE consisting exclusively of a Google News search (because, given the subject, it's obviously not going to appear in any journal or book). This search found pages upon pages of references to this outfit which might incline the casual observer to presume it passes WP:N. However, on close inspection, most of these are to The Debrief, which is unambiguously non-RS. Its editor-in-chief is Micah Hanks (who also reports on Sasquatch, [114] wrote the foreword to a "non-fiction" book on monsters that purportedly live in South Carolina [115], wrote a book about something called "ghost rockets" [116], and used to host a podcast about ghosts and ESP) The other contributors of this site come from a similar pedigree.

While, as expected by WP:NGO, the "scope of their activities is national [..] in scale", there is no indication that the org "has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization". Searches in national news outlets return only passing mentions. For example, a search in The Irish Times returns only passing mentions and "letters to the editor" by people associated with the org. A search on national broadcaster RTÉ 's website returns a single passing mention. A similar search across the entire Irish Independent stable of national/regional/local papers also only returns a single passing mention. Same goes for the Irish Examiner (4 passing mentions), and The Journal (2 passing mentions). Even a broad Google search returns barely 80 results (including the org's own website, socials, the above passing mentions in news articles, and random mentions in Facebook/LinkedIn posts and press releases). Not only is none of this useful in establishing notability, it is even insufficient to allow for expansion of this title beyond the bare sub-stub it has been for years. (Other than its own website, how would we source information on formation, dates, activities, etc?) In terms of WP:ATDs, given that the org isn't even mentioned once elsewhere on the project, I cannot conceive of an appropriate redirection (such that the org could be covered WP:WITHIN another title.)

The other two sources are WP:PRIMARYSOURCES, but neither discuss this topic. One doesn't mention it at all, and the other discusses it in the context of college students' parents. A WP:BEFORE search turns up only the latter references, generic mentions of the birth families of students going off to college.

In any case ,the underlying issue has gone unresolved. I conducted a truncated WP:BEFORE consisting exclusively of a Google News search (because, given the subject, it's obviously not going to appear in any journal or book). This search found pages upon pages of references to this outfit which might incline the casual observer to presume it passes WP:N. However, on close inspection, most of these are to The Debrief, which is unambiguously non-RS. Its editor-in-chief is Micah Hanks (who also reports on Sasquatch, [128] wrote the foreword to a "non-fiction" book on monsters that purportedly live in South Carolina [129], wrote a book about something called "ghost rockets" [130], and used to host a podcast about ghosts and ESP) The other contributors of this site come from a similar pedigree.

While, as expected by WP:NGO, the "scope of their activities is national [..] in scale", there is no indication that the org "has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization". Searches in national news outlets return only passing mentions. For example, a search in The Irish Times returns only passing mentions and "letters to the editor" by people associated with the org. A search on national broadcaster RTÉ 's website returns a single passing mention. A similar search across the entire Irish Independent stable of national/regional/local papers also only returns a single passing mention. Same goes for the Irish Examiner (4 passing mentions), and The Journal (2 passing mentions). Even a broad Google search returns barely 80 results (including the org's own website, socials, the above passing mentions in news articles, and random mentions in Facebook/LinkedIn posts and press releases). Not only is none of this useful in establishing notability, it is even insufficient to allow for expansion of this title beyond the bare sub-stub it has been for years. (Other than its own website, how would we source information on formation, dates, activities, etc?)

2025-05-07 | SPONGE (Political pressure group) | AfD (4 k, 0 d) (1 relist) (This article appears to be a likely hoax or satirical fabrication. It lacks reliable sources and has no verifiable evidence that the organization ever existed. The cited references are weak, misleading, or irrelevant. This topic does not meet notability guidelines.
This article presents SPONGE as a real political pressure group, but the claim is unsupported by reliable sources and appears to be an instance of misinformation. The only verifiable mentions of “SPONGE” refer to its use as a racist acronym or gag — not an actual organization. The 1978 Lewiston Evening Journal article documents a high school prank, not group activity. The 1999 commentary by Earl Ofari Hutchinson refers to an alleged use of the term within a police department, but offers no evidence of an actual group. The only historical book cited mentions SPONGE briefly, without treating it as real or notable. In effect, the Wikipedia article is the fourth appearance of SPONGE, not documenting a group, but continuing the pattern of SPONGE being used as a recurring racist gag. There is no substantiated continuity, structure, or notability. Instead, this article appears to be a case of citogenesis or hoax propagation. It does not meet the standards of verifiability or notability and should be deleted. InvisibleUser909 (talk) 06:32, 29 April 2025 (UTC)) |
