Topic seemingly fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. Currently, the independent coverage consists of: 1. a tabloid article, 2. an article that relies on the previous article, and 3. an article that cites the subject's fandom page as its source.

Former scholar (he appears to now be working in private sector) with low research impact. Has never held a senior academic post, and his books were not widely reviewed either.

Naveen Singh Suhag

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

Subject does not meet GNG. The sources are mostly not independent (press releases, interviews, a paper written by the subject, company profiles). The ToI article [1] might be sigcov of a company he founded, but the only parts about the subject are quotes from him. This [2] contains a four-sentence mention but really isn't focused on him. The only information I can find in Swiss media is that a person with his exact full name seems to have opened a Subway sandwich store in Langenthal, but the coverage all comes from one source (Berner Zeitung) and is mostly quotes. There are also two hits for his name in reports on judo competitions, far from sigcov. Toadspike [Talk] 15:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@B-Factor The 3 Indian news sources are questionable at best due to the high possibility of undisclosed sponsored reporting, especially in reporting people of borderline notability.

I would very strongly oppose redirecting it there, that is not the kind of list we should be redirecting BLPs.

If there is better sourcing getting the longest prison sentence of all time is notable enough that it IMO invalidates the second prong of BLP1E. So then WP:NCRIMINAL is also a consideration. The sourcing I can find is not great so honestly he probably just fails the WP:GNG. But he does have an extremely generic name so I may be missing stuff. But unless there is more sourcing I failed to find, delete (Not redirect). PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1980 Wigtown District Council election

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

Seemingly completely uncontested election that I could not find substantitive info on through searches, only vague references. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 03:05, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Politics, and Scotland. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:01, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Seemingly completely uncontested election"? Some of the wards were contested, just not by members of a formal political party, only by independents. Having only independents standing was pretty common in rural areas in Scotland throughout this time period. Perhaps ward results could be added to indicate that some wards were contested.

I understand there is limited sources available, but https://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Scottish-District-Elections-1980.pdfcontains the results to the election. Probably also included in regional/national newspapers of the time but, alas, most archives are locked behind a paywall.

Therefore, I think it should be kept, unless you want to also delete most other Scottish local election pages, for rural areas, from after the reorganisation to ~1995. SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 10:43, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is not presumed coverage for local elections of small municipality areas, especially uncontested ones Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 16:17, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regional newspapers would have something if not result coverage from the time. I managed to find coverage about Moray Council results from 1984, albeit Moray is larger. Obviously would take time to do this every page but would be possible. SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 18:40, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This isn't like a parish council election in England, the district elections were covered in the national press because of their importance. I unfortunately don't have access to the British Newspaper Archive any more but a simple search without even looking at any pages shows the importance of the district elections at the time - it was front page news. The results for individual district councils were carried in national newspapers. Unfortunately, the BNA doesn't have any papers from Dumfries and Galloway in May 1980 to further establish notability but it would be the same level of coverage you would expect for any of the current unitary authorities. For comparison with the most recent local elections in the UK, this district council is on a par with the 164 district councils at 2024 United Kingdom local elections#District councils, all of which have their own article (I know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not an argument to keep an article but the implication here is that all of those plus every other district council election in the UK are not notable and a simple WP:BEFORE will show that's not the case).

1977 Wigtown District Council election

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

Taking to AfD over PROD because hard to find sources. I could not find anything from searches in this seemingly small district area. Rationale is a non-notable election in a local area Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 03:04, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Politics, and Scotland. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:01, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Hard to find sources," such is the way with Scottish local elections. https://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Scottish-District-Elections-1977.pdf contains the results to the election. As with the 1980 page, I guess ward results, or a newspaper article from the time could also be included. These elections, although small in electors, are very important to Scotland's political story, especially in rural areas. Scotland's rural areas have a history of voting for non-partisan local independents, that is only now being challenged. SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 10:51, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I should note I am willing to improve these pages, if that is what you are getting at... SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 10:52, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SpeysideWikipedian sources should indicate significant and lasting coverage, which is important with local elections more than anything. Not every small election necessarily deserves a page. Feel free to improve the article with coverage that shows that, but primary sources with only results would not count towards that. This applies to your comment on the other AfD too Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 13:49, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Still, I do not think that is a valid reason to delete this page. Leave the page up and myself and others can improve them. Leave it with a needs sources tag and people such as @Stevie fae Scotland will help improve them I'm sure. SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 18:33, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If I was to improve every pre 1995 local election page with a similar structure + ward results + newspaper/article as 1974 Tweeddale District Council election would that be sufficient? SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 18:36, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not even that page shows significant coverage meeting GNG in my opinion Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 18:38, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, work needs done for every page is what I am saying, this is a large project. SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 18:41, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

my argument is not every one of these small elections deserves a page. They could also be merged into a wider local election page Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 18:45, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting thought. Where would you draw the line though? Does each Glaswegian council election deserve its own page just because more people happen to live in Glasgow? How would such a move to a single page be implemented? SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 18:54, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a precedent for this elsewhere? If the only way these results can be preserved on the wiki is for a mass merger to happen then surely there is an example from another country perhaps? SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 18:57, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps also a wider discussion amongst other local election editors is needed too. SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 19:01, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure of other precedent, but it is a solution since these small elections are seemingly not notable on their own. Going on WP:NOTDATABASE, just because there are results available for something, does not mean that it deserves a page of it's own. A merge to a page for elections, in this case to a 1977 Scottish local elections in Dumfries and Galloway page would potentially establish notability for all these elections as a whole Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 19:15, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Would need more input from others before deciding. If that is the way to establish notability I am happy to merge lesser notable pages into a regional district results page. SpeysideWikipedian (talk) 19:21, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Compared to other fields, mathematics is much more tolerant of what would normally be labelled "crackpots" - rejecting an established axiom or theory usually means building a contrasting theory, which can be mathematically interesting in its own right. (WP:CRACKPOT's term for this would be "alternative theoretical formulation".) That said, "transreal arithmetic" has absolutely not developed into a theory of any interest to mathematicians, which means I'm more than comfortable applying the label.

I think a particularly useful point of contrast is inter-universal Teichmüller theory, which also makes dramatic claims that are (in the opinion of many number theorists) not properly substantiated, but remains of significant academic interest for its potential applications. "Transreal arithmetic" has attracted no such attention, and the only one to claim applications is Anderson himself. Fishsicles (talk) 14:28, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Allin Kempthorne

I've AFD'd this, but actually I think it should be redirected to Wriggler (video game). There doesn't appear to be any independent, reliable sources giving significant coverage to the subject of this article. Sourcing is all tabloid news (The Mirror, The Sun, Metro) or passing mentions. Simply appearing on BGT (and not being recognised...) does not indicate notability. Simply being a bit-part actor in numerous films does not indicate notability. Additionally I have WP:PROMO/WP:COI concerns here.

They wrote the ZX Spectrum game Wriggler together with their twin when they were at school, and this game is clearly notable, but nothing else they have done appears to be notable.

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. Simply being nominated for a Twitter Shorty Award does not indicate notability.

I understand the concerns raised. I am currently improving the article by adding more independent, reliable sources that provide neutral coverage of the subject. Additionally, I am revising the content to ensure a strictly factual and non-promotional tone, in line with Wikipedia's neutrality policy. Given that the project has received coverage in independent media outlets (such as [Shurooq]), I believe the subject meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.

There's also a WP:NOTDIC issue here where the article just extracts WP:OR of various times the word has been used.

Merge to List of mythological places as an WP:Alternative to deletion. This is a relevant place in two works of fiction, which is referenced in a number of younger works of fiction as can be seen in the number of primary and secondary sources both present in the article and especially those appearing in the WP:BEFORE search. This role and connectivity in my view goes beyond a dictionary definition, so this should have some place on Wikipedia. Presence in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable indicates that as well. There's a rather extensive discussion in this paper on the Thalaba version. Oriental influences in the English Literature of the early nineteenth century, p. 25, discusses the Arabian Nights - Thalaba connection. Britain and the Muslim World, p. 132 has an interesting one-sentence-comparison to Hogwarts. The secondary sources I've seen in a brief search are short on the Domdaniel beyond the specific work of Thalaba, so I don't think a stand-alone article is warranted so far, but deletion would be a loss.

Yes, it's crediting that to the FBI, there is no unique analysis in any of those articles, and it's also only two months later, except for routine legal proceedings, WP:PRIMARYNEWS. Antisemitic vandalism is very common. It making the news is also very common. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:08, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
FBI saying it was orchestrated goes to it not being run-of-the-mill hate vandalism. It also made it into this book and this one. These articles [18], [19] and this [20] show that it kept getting coverage over time for whatever reason. Andre🚐 03:16, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How long is the book coverage, and what is it in the context of? It won't load for me. The forward article is trial stuff and the other two are local. They're sustained though so that's a little better. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:18, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Page 314 of Koehler (which is Cambridge University Press) and page 238 of Payne, the former cites the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel from 2020, the latter cites the Justice Department website press release. I cannot see the whole page just a snippet, but I can check to see if those books are kicking around a library or any other way to read them in full to read the surrounding context, but it is enough for me already that for 3-4 years this series of events is being covered somehow. I agree the Forward is a trial article but based on the content of it, plus the linked Ynet article that they cite which is dead for me right now but I will try to track down, I wouldn't call it WP:ROUTINE which if you read is about run-of-the-mill events like scheduled events or usually I think of product announcements. It does not automatically say all trial articles are routine coverage. Standard crime coverage would be routine like maybe something like this: [21] When the FBI is saying it is an orchestrated domestic terrorist group and people are using it as an example of an extremism trend in the US that is very not routine in my view. Andre🚐 03:30, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Trial coverage is almost always... well, maybe routine isn't the right word, but primary? It contains no analysis and is uniformly just repeating the legal arguments.

Keep. This article was originally titled "2029 Sri Lankan presidential election", but was renamed "Next Sri Lankan presidential election" following a discussion on the article's talk page. I wish to draw attention to the following deletion discussion and the comments made therein, for reference. The same principles apply to this article. Sri Lanka has held regular elections since gaining independence and regular presidential elections since the first in 1982. In this context, the application of WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL is somewhat ambiguous. The current president is eligible to seek a second term and under the Constitution of Sri Lanka, is authorised to call an election after completing four years of his current and first term. Regardless of whether this takes place, the next presidential election must be held no earlier than one month and no later than two months before the expiry of the incumbent's five-year term. At present, this article and several others are maintained as future elections, i.e., Next United Kingdom general election and Next Indian general election. The following categories are maintained for this pupose: Category:Future elections in Asia, Category:Future elections, etc. Therefore, this article should be treated in the same manner. It could be redirected to List of Sri Lankan presidential elections, but it would not be a fair position as references/sources have been provided to support maintaining this article and also provide historical context.

All the other articles mentioned have a significant number of sources to justify their standing. I'd also like to point out that they are all general election articles, while this is a presidential election. We don't know any of the candidates who will definitely be running, and no candidate has even flirted with the idea of running, everything is just speculation at this point. And before anyone goes, "what about 2028 United States presidential election?" Even the US election has the sources to support its existence, as there is already a considerable number of candidates who have expressed interest in running and several WP:RS to back this up. If a candidate suddenly declares interest in running then the article can be kept but for now; TL:DR, Sri Lanka is no US or UK. Not Wlwtn (talk) 14:04, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 02:40, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"according to WP:SPORTSCRIT sigcov may exist" - what do you mean by that? Geschichte (talk) 05:56, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, SPORTSCRIT requires sigcov to exist, not the other way around. LibStar (talk) 06:12, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Geschichte, I think the user meant "according to WP:NSPORTS" (many people confuse NSPORTS and SPORTCRIT), which says that SIGCOV is likely to exist for subjects meeting NATH. --Habst (talk) 12:16, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Another preposterous statement by the user Habst, who regrettably shows a severe lack of competence in the subject, in claiming that the Central American Games (not to be confused with the larger Central American and Caribbean Games) belongs to the "highest level outside of the Olympic Games and world championships". I am actually ashamed by the audacity displayed in making such an outlandish claim. Geschichte (talk) 05:55, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Geschichte, are you in a position to !vote on this AfD, since you have reviewed the AfD and article? LibStar (talk) 06:13, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Geschichte, I think that contributions are more important than personal statements so I appreciate your contributions even when we disagree. Even if you think that prong 1 doesn't apply, then surely NATH prong 2 "Finished top 3 in any other major senior-level international competition (this includes prestigious small field meets, e.g., IAAF Diamond League/IAAF Golden League meets, less-prestigious large-scale meets, e.g., Asian Games, and any IAAF Gold Label Road Race that is not explicitly mentioned above)" would? Generally, it's been understood to include most international medals as tracked by athleticspodium.com which the Central American Games are. --Habst (talk) 12:13, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article has no sources other than this event's official site, and most of what I can find in terms of sources comes from the university's website, so the article appears to fail notability due to a lack of significant coverage in independent sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:09, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep where was the WP:BEFORE ? he is a full prof at a R1 University, he has a substantial number of high impact publications with 100+ citations (I count 21) which is usually passing the bar for a research-only professor, even more so for a physician-scientist. On top he has invented a useful tool (the needle). --hroest 01:20, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They're all multi-author publications, no? And WP:NACADEMIC says distinguished professor, not every professor. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:26, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
he passes WP:NPROF#1 without much question, most contemporary research is multi-author and this is not exception. A subject only has to pass one of the 8 criteria, not all of them (are you referring to NPROF#5 with your comment?). --hroest 03:09, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Criteria 1 says As demonstrated by independent reliable sources. Can you point to any? (and yes). PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:14, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@PARAKANYAA: I have no particular opinion on Lufkin, but in the case of academics, publications in peer-reviewed journals are in themselves regarded as independent reliable sources because the peer reviewers are independent of the author. The citation count is an indicator that the research has made significant impact. Almost all scientific papers are multi-author, and Lufkin's place as last author on some of these indicates that he was the senior academic running the project (except in those disciplines that use alphabetical order, first and last authors are the priority spots, corresponding to the one who did the work, and the one who conceived, planned and scientifically-directed the work). Elemimele (talk) 11:45, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning weak keep It does seem to be over the line of notability on the strength of his book e.g. [22], plus this [23], would seem to be >1 event, a pass on GNG even without considering in-depth the academic publications such as [24] and whether his standing is significant in his field. Assuming he is RB Lufkin, he has quite a lot of Google Scholar hits.Andre🚐 02:48, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we can include the information in the second source because he is a BLP. The first one is an interview. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:49, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He would be a PUBLICFIGURE on the basis of his notability if we are saying he is a notable public intellectual and for purposes of his career. I agree the first one is an interview slash promotion for his book, but it's good enough for me when taken as a whole with everything else. There is an essay WP:INTERVIEW and I agree this one is a little on the fluffy side, but he has a bestselling book. I also did find at least one mention of the "Lufkin needle" he is credited with inventing. [25] Andre🚐 03:39, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review

Georges Dejaeghère

In the right way according to the discussion, the outcome of the AfD was redirect. I wanted to reply with new information yesterday, but it was to late and so I want to ask to relist the discussion, according to Wikipedia:Deletion review point 3. There was consensus in the discussion that there was sourcing regarding to Dejaeghère. Continuing my search in offline content, I found sourcing not being discussed in the AfD which would be good enough for keep the article according to the wikipedia guidelines; one of the sources for for instance like this. , Apart from that I see some wrong statements are made. For instance here is stated that with this input there are 7 articles with this search there are 8 articles. However that is not the number of articles, but the number of different sources with a multitude of these numbers of articles. At another point here is stated that he is not meeting NGYMNAST while he is without a doubt national champion. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 07:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Restore and start a new AFD. The version that was redirected at the AFD and the article that was re-redirected are vastly different (such that if the article was deleted and not redirected, a WP:G4 speedy would not have applied). The "new" version was about double the size of the old onw and included several new references which were not discussed in the AFD. DRV is not the appropriate venue to evaluate sources so I will not do so here. Relisting the original discussion is a viable option, but I would prefer a fresh discussion due to the vast differences between the two versions. Frank Anchor 12:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am fine with a procedural close and further discussion off this forum, as per OwenX below. Frank Anchor 15:10, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close. The page was not deleted, and the appellant concedes that the close was correct. If indeed newly discovered sourcing proves the subject is notable, the redirect can be reverted and the sources added. If the sources are found insufficient, anyone can renominate or restore the redirect. Either way, this is an editorial issue that can be discussed on the Talk page, not a case for DRV.
