Article topic fails WP:ORG. Tried to find reliable, English- and Portuguese-language sources online but did not. The organisation existing only in 2005 means there may be print sources I do not have access to, but given this splinter group existed for less than a month, I doubt that is the case.

The subject of this article is only talked about in terms of her husband and her late son (who is primarily mentioned because of his dad). As notability is not inherited this subject does not have any sources of her own. In my before search I couldn't find anything else. I would be okay with a redirect to Aidonia Moritoriko (talk) 02:26, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Israeli feta (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are many problems with the references. For one, no page numbers are given. I cannot find the books "Cheese from the Land of Milk and Honey: A Guide to Israeli Cheese". I also can't find "Food in Israel: A Mediterranean Journey." or "The Secret Life of Cheese: The Complete Guide to Cheese and Cheese-Making in Israel", although the authors exist (Mayer-Chissick appears to be an Israeli author and is listed by the National Library of Israel (https://www.nli.org.il/en/a-topic/987007462694605171) but this particular book is not mentioned). The source by Gur exists (and can be found here https://archive.org/details/bookofnewisraeli0000gurj/page/220/mode/2up?q=feta) and has a section on cheese but does not mention Israeli feta. The same is true for the source by Nathan (https://archive.org/details/foodsofisraeltod0000nath/page/242/mode/2up) which is cited for a claim about bourekas, ziva, and borek, but does not mention any of these dishes, at least from a quick search. As such, it appears difficult to verify any of these claims, unless somebody can provide page numbers. ISBNs would also help.

The creator of this article also created the article Shifra cheese, which shares many of the same issues and which I also nominated for deletion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Shifra_cheese). Truthnope (talk) 02:08, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All seven references are used simultaneously for every section. Verifiability for these claims is questionable. No page numbers are given for any of these books. The two links given are dead and cannot be recovered from the wayback machine.

Furthermore, the citations for the books seem off. For example, there is a Daniel Rogov who writes guides on Israeli wine, and there was a version published in 2005, but the title The Ultimate Guide to Israeli Wines isn't used (there is a The Ultimate Rogov's Guide to Israeli Wines from 2011) and they seem to be published by Toby Press, not Gefen Publishing House. There is also a book called "The New Middle Eastern Vegetarian: Modern Recipes from Veggiestan", but the author is listed as Sally Butcher, not Gil Atlas. I cannot find the Schreiber or Lewin books anywhere. Only the Solomonov and Cook reference has no apparent flaw. If anybody can find a few of these sources (perhaps they're in Hebrew), I'll withdraw this nomination, but as is, the article appears to be built on almost nothing.

Not mentioned in target. Appears to be a restaurant featuring three of Yum's franchises in one. I think it's a meme? Does not appear to be notable enough to add to the Yum article. Rusalkii (talk) 21:50, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment These seem to be a thing, or was a thing. Googling "ken taco hut" turns up quite a bit of results. Since this is/was a Yum! triple-franchise outlet, the origin of wanting to make these redirects seems clear. I'm not sure it has to be mentioned in the article, but it seems to be clearly a subtopic, if a very minor one. The main question for me is whether this is a worthwhile search term. Pageviews on these appear to be sparse. Stefen 𝕋owers among the rest! GabGruntwerk 00:05, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Influencer Smurf

Meme about a smurf from the trailer of this movie, not mentioned in the target page. Possibly merits a mention (see e.g. [1] [2]), in which case the redirect should be kept, but I believe the character was replaced for the actual movie. Rusalkii (talk) 19:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show evidence of usage of "series 1" for any of those shows? If yes, add a hatnote. If no, don't add one. So long as Doctors series 1 is at the base title, it is the de facto primary topic. -- Tavix (talk) 14:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Googling "The Doctors series 1" the top three results are for the 2020 TV series, The Doctors (South Korean TV series), Doctor Who: The Doctors, and a book series by Louise Bay (both of which might be notable) also appear on the first page. Searching for "The Doctors" "Series 1" Doctors (2000 TV series) is the top hit, with the 2020 TV series and the talk show also making an appearance on the first page. All the evidence I can see points to there being no primary topic. Thryduulf (talk) 13:22, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If anything, this is solid evidence that Google results should not be used to determine primary topic. The first three things you list are a series that only has a single season and a couple of things that don't have articles. None of those things are useful for the question at hand. Instead of regurgitating, can you try analyzing these results? How is "series" used in this context? -- Tavix (talk) 19:09, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In all cases "series" is used in the plain English sense. It is not our job to say that people using "series 1" in relation to a TV programme that didn't have a series 2 is wrong, it is our job to enable people to find the content they are looking for (not the content we think they should be looking for). It is very clear that people using the search term are not looking for a single topic, but multiple different ones. I have analysed all the information available, and it all points to the same conclusion: there is no primary topic. Thryduulf (talk) 10:49, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Saying "plain English" isn't helpful because 'series' has multiple uses in (plain) English. In television, series can be synonymous with the American English usage of season or it can be synonymous with program. I'm asking for your evidence because I do not believe you have analyzed your regurgitation of Google results to filter for the correct context. Better evidence would be linking to the specific results that uses "The Doctors series 1" to refer to each series in question. I also disagree with your assertion that Google results can be used to deduce what someone would be searching for in Wikipedia. Google's algorithm prioritizes giving a searcher a variety of different results; this is so a searcher doesn't have to scroll through a bunch of similar results to find a minority topic. This is not compatible with Wikipedia's preference to use primary topic. -- Tavix (talk) 15:40, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've presented all my evidence and explained to you my methodology and reasoning. It's now up to you to actually provide some evidence that there is actually a primary topic, rather than just repeatedly asserting I'm wrong without backing that up. Thryduulf (talk) 17:27, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have the burden of proof, I cannot provide evidence of absence. -- Tavix (talk) 17:47, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not asking you to provide evidence of absence, I'm asking you to provide evidence of the primary topic you repeatedly claim exists. Thryduulf (talk) 11:11, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I made no such claim. -- Tavix (talk) 01:37, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Eh? You've spent this entire discussion opposing the view that there is no primary topic. Either there is a primary topic or there isn't, if you reject the evidence showing there is no primary topic then (assuming you are acting in good faith) you can only be asserting that there is a primary topic. Are you commenting in good faith? Thryduulf (talk) 11:34, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you recall my original !vote, my rationale was I don't see the ambiguity. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC only comes into play where there's ambiguity. -- Tavix (talk) 12:41, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have objectively demonstrated that ambiguity exists, everybody else commenting sees ambiguity exists, so I was assuming good faith that your comments were are difference in opinion regarding the presence or absence of a primary topic - it now seems that assumption was incorrect.
