Bala Ganapathi William

Note: The AfD is initially nominated by PeepeeDino but they did not follow the process correctly.

No evidence of notability per WP:GNG. The article relies entirely on primary sources, self-published material, and uncited claims. No independent, reliable secondary sources (e.g., reputable news outlets, books, academic journals) demonstrate significant coverage of the subject. Fails WP:BIO criteria for living persons. Subject appears to be a local entertainer without broad recognition. Sources cited (e.g., YouTube, personal websites, IMDb) are unreliable per WP:SPS. Previous "citation needed" tags (since 2022) remain unaddressed. Syn73 (talk) 18:13, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sources in the article are either interviews, or don't speak directly about him, or don't work. The sources I found were mostly about shows he worked on, so I don't see any evidence that he meets WP:SIGCOV. Antoine le Deuxième (talk) 17:23, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rhede (disambiguation)

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

This is a straightforward case of WP:TWODABS. There are only 2 pages with the title "Rhede" and the primary topic has a hatnote to the other one. There is no reason to except this page from the guideline that this page is not needed. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:29, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cross Road, Adelaide

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

Another non notable Adelaide road that fails WP:GEOROAD. Sources such as google maps and government of South Australia map layers do not establish notability. LibStar (talk) 23:53, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This time it's a 8.8 km stretch of unremarkable bitumen. TarnishedPath^talk 10:36, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is actually a major arterial road in southern Adelaide, highlighted by the fact it has been assigned a single-digit A-road route. Sources such as google maps and government of South Australia map layers do not establish notability ....but they are still notable/reliable as they are from the state's own government department. True, there is certainly more room for improvement and for a better variety of sources, but I don't believe it's solely a reason for deletion. Enough attention might encourage more contributions to invoke WP:HEY if it's not already there Lordstorm (talk) 11:52, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Being a "major arterial road" does not confer automatic notability. There are literally 100s of thousands if not millions of main roads in the world. Where are the third party sources to support notability? LibStar (talk) 00:34, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A road should either meet WP:GNG or WP:GEOROAD for it to be kept. I don't see that is the case here. Being a "major aterial road", by itself, is insufficient. TarnishedPath^talk 02:02, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
and if you are proposing WP:HEY, please start by adding actual third party sources. LibStar (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that they "failed", they filed an AFD for this article, then you moved the article to a different page title and you redid the AFD under its new page title and tagged the original AFD for speedy deletion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:54, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rainbow Rumble season 1

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

Was PRODded for failing WP:GNG and draftified, then the creator removed a large amount of content and unilaterally moved the page back to mainspace. With edit summary:

Fixed. Removed majority of the references for the RTTT round leaving one main reference for each episode. ABS-CBN's website is the ONLY reliable list for the results, as no other major or minor news companies cover shows like these anymore. I tried to research but found almost nothing. For your reference and convenience, episodes of the show can be viewed on YouTube on demand for free but is broken down into parts.

Matteo Paz

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

Undergrad whose only claim to notability is winning the Regeneron Science Talent Search. By concensus, this does not qualify him for a pass of WP:NACADEMIC, high school awards are excluded. While winning the award has some news writeups, this fails as a single event (WP:BLP1E) without evidence for sustained coverage (WP:SUSTAINED). This is particularly the case since the scientific publication describing the code that won him the award has received no citations according to GScholar; the wider scientific community has so far voted with silence.

List of allegedly cursed objects

The sources here are very poor. Really not sure if this passes NLIST. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:41, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Conspiracy theories and Lists. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:41, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I updated the sources to include more reliable sources and more could be added from print sources. Most of the items in the list have an article in Wikipedia and are notable. Since there are several citated examples of these items being discussed as a group, it also meets the requirement for a list article. Rublamb (talk) 03:00, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The sources that discuss them as a group are not reliable, e..g Mental Floss or "US Ghost Adventures". PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:11, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mental Floss is not on WP:RSPSOURCES as unreliable. Regardless, the following should meet the definition of reliable sources to meet NLIST:

Ocker, J. W. Cursed Objects: Strange but True Stories of the World's Most Infamous Items (Book)
"These Are the World's Most Haunted Paintings". The Observer
"7 Cursed Objects Around the World Guaranteed to Ruin Your Life". Fodor's Travel Guides
"Beware the Legends Behind These National Park Souvenirs". Atlas Obscura

Rublamb (talk) 03:53, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Observer piece is about paintings, which this article is not. The rest of the sources are either WP:PROFRINGE or are not really about the subject, e.g. the Atlas Obscura piece. Ocker appears to be a cryptozoologist. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:06, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your analysis appears to be off. Paintings are objects and are included in this list; thus, The Observer article is relevant. The list in Atlas Obscura consists of objects and most are included in the article. Ocker is an Edgar Award winning travel writer who has written for The Guardian, The Boston Globe, CNN, and The Atlantic. His prior books have been reviewed in The New York Times, and this one is reviewed in Library Journal here. Fodor's is a reliable source and is not pro-fringe; it is pro-travel, which includes visiting quirky places and objects. Look at it this way: this article is about objects connected to supernatural legends, but is not saying that those legends are true. Thus, this article is not WP:PROFRINGE. Similarly, a reliable source might publish an article about this topic or write a book about this topic without being WP:PROFRINGE. You should not dismiss every possible source (including the Fodor's, Smithsonian and The Guardian) because the topic relates to legends. Rublamb (talk) 05:59, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of people known as the Evil

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

I created this list back in 2011, at which time Henry IV, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg's article said he was Evil. That claim was later removed, and an IP couldn't find any corroboration. Neither can I, and there's only one other entry (unless you count a couple of minor fictional characters, Mordred the Evil, Iuz the Evil and the title character of The Saga of Tanya the Evil), so deletion seems to be in order, simply because not enough people are being properly recognized for their evilness.
