Courtesy request from article subject via VTRS 2024122010000181. The basis of the request is that the subject is not very well known, the sources used in the article are mostly so old as to be inaccurate and/or misleading and the lack of recent sources reinforces that the subject has no lasting nobility. The quality of some of the sources lacks reliability even if the news sources themselves are generally reliable, the specific sources are not and are towards the gossip column end of journalism e.g. [1] Nthep (talk) 16:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why the page should be deleted

The taxon is not published yet and the reference is still under review process. Formally Dimartinia does not exist yet.Lmalena (talk) 16:56, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I have already addressed this twice with the deletion nominator. That previous comment is included below:

    It is standard practice to create pages for new taxa within the scope of WikiProject Palaeontology, even when the publication is in the "in-press" stage (not to be confused with preprint). The paper is peer-reviewed and has been accepted for publication. It will not undergo any changes in its finalization that will affect the scientific content.

    This persistent complaint is starting to verge on absurdity; the taxon is published and the description paper has been peer-reviewed. Lmalena, I'm not sure why you are so intent on having these pages deleted - can you provide a legitimate reason for deletion following Wikipedia's policies? If you haven't yet, I would encourage you to read Elsevier's description of what an in-press/pre-proof publication is, accessible at the top of the source in question. I will also add that, even if the page was deleted, it would inevitably have to be recreated once the properly-formatted PDF is made available later this year. -SlvrHwk (talk) 18:34, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It is NOT published. That it is the problem. The article is a preproof which it is still going under the review process (the review process has not end yet, and the journal says so: "are not yet definitive versions of record"). It is not the final version. Both articles came to my knowledge through one of the authors of the scientific paper. The preproof is not even authorized (I know that is a problem with the journal and not with us). Even if it was authorized, the final version of the article is not published yet, the taxa would be published in the future, and they could change. We are making two articles for two taxa names than don't exist formally yet. Lmalena (talk) 19:26, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    They are millions of valid paleontological names without an article, including the sparassodonts Patene and Arctodictis. Why the need to create taxa articles from preproofs? Lmalena (talk) 19:53, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is not the final version and can still undergo changes. Since last year (at least to my knowledge, it could be previous years), journals are publishing online the first accepted draft under review process as preproofs. These drafts are not the final versions and they can undergo drastic changes. Lmalena (talk) 19:57, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I understand your concern, but many prehistoric taxa articles in Wikipedia are named even when they're published first in in-press articles (e.g. Yuanyanglong and Archaeocursor for some of the most recent cases), and even if they don't get published officially the articles don't get deleted for that alone (e.g. Ubirajara jubatus); there are also a handful of articles for nomina nuda which are never officially described in journal (e.g. Hadongsuchus). And since you asked about many prehistoric taxa not having an article in spite of their validity, that's obviously because none of the current users attempted yet (and there's a vast amount of prehistoric taxa, so it would take time to make articles for every single one of them anyway). Junsik1223 (talk) 22:20, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Subject of a peer reviewed and published paper. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:15, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:20, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I suppose there is a minuscule chance that the entire designation will still be scuppered at this late stage, but frankly, I would need to see some specific examples to consider that an actual risk from our point of view. Reputable journal, multiple established scientists, apparently great diagnostic material - this is not going to sink between pre-pub and publication. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:17, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep In addition to points that were already raised, I will note that paleontologists themselves in general do consider early article versions to be subjects to public discussion. Press releases frequently appear after the online publication of the early article versions, the authors of the studies talk about them on social media before the publication of the final version, and they even get cited and discussed in other papers before the publication of the final version (occasionally resulting in cases such as Buffetaut (2011) citing and discussing Naish et al. (2012), obviously referring to the early article version as the final of version of the latter article has a later publication date than the final version of the former one). So the argument for removal of the article is based on stricter criteria regarding what publically available information can and should be discussed than the criteria used by the scientific community itself.
    As for the risk of differences between the early version and the final version of the article, thousand of new fossil taxa were named during the past 12 years and I can only remember a single case when a new taxon named in the early version ended up removed from the final version of the article. So the risk does not seem to be significant.--Macrochelys (talk) 16:13, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • However, if Lmalena's comment that both articles came to their knowledge through one of the authors is supposed to mean that the authors of the study naming the new taxon discussed are in fact opposed to the Wikipedia article about the taxon being created before the final version of the article is available, then I think moving the article to the draftspace would be justified, as a courtesy to the authors.--Macrochelys (talk) 17:16, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If I may ask, what is that “single case”? 49.144.198.58 (talk) 23:04, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The early version of this article originally named a new species Ventilago "fujianensis", which ended up not named in the final version.--Macrochelys (talk) 05:41, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think there is an misunderstanding about what means pre-proof here. This is a draft, it is not published and peer reviewed here means that it has been seen by reviewers, not that their concerns has been addressed. If one of them asked for changes in the phylogenetical analysis, the final version can change drastically. The author that called me, is not sure how much it is going to change and does not want these articles. These taxon names are also not valid under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Chapter 5, 21.8.3., until proper publication. Lmalena (talk) 13:51, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In that case I don't think we should ignore the author's explicit wish, though I don't see the deletion of the article as necessary to address points raised in this discussion. I support move to the draftspace until the publication of the final version of the study. Possible changes introduced in the final version of the study can then be added to the draft before moving it back to the mainspace.--Macrochelys (talk) 16:03, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If one of the authors allegedly don't want this article right now, then I would also agree moving it to the draftspace. But (though I know this is far from the scope of this talk page) does that mean you think every article about prehistoric taxa which are never officially described in peer-reviewed journal (only appearing in pre-proof or thesis) and are currently nomina nuda or considered invalid/unsuable names should all be deleted? (like Hadongsuchus and Ubirajara jubatus for example I mentioned above) Junsik1223 (talk) 17:50, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    They shouldn't be deleted. I think that, in principle, if there is publically available information about such taxa then creation of articles about them is justified. As I said, move to the draftspace in response to explicit wish of the author would be justified by courtesy to the author, and not by any general ban on articles about such taxa.--Macrochelys (talk) 18:01, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I’m sorry, you’re saying the authors of the paper want the articles deleted? How did they communicate to you (email, talk page etc.) Can you provide a link or screenshot to their communication? 2001:4453:52E:6F00:756D:A9D4:5F4C:5208 (talk) 08:33, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It is a personal communication. I didn't think that it would so hard to take out articles of not valid taxa. At least, not valid yet. I also support move to the draftspace until the publication of the final version of the study. Lmalena (talk) 12:16, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Personal as in, in-person? Face to face? 2001:4453:592:3C00:C492:1F3A:6D96:E43C (talk) 16:07, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I am not necessarily opposed to 'draftifying' the article for now, but we don't currently have any explicit evidence that the author is opposed to the page's current existence. Could that be provided? -SlvrHwk (talk) 17:46, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From time to time, the eye is caught when researching these things on the maps and on aerial photographs. In this case, on GMaps, it is the post-industrial wasteland just north of this spot that is the ruins of the Marble Hill Nuclear Power Plant, which project was abandoned shy of completion back in 1984 and progressively demolished over the next thirty years (assuming they ever finished, as the article is unclear on that).

WP:DRAFTOBJECT prevents me from returning this to draft unilaterally. I am unsure that would be my preferred action now it is in mainspace. Jenkins is presented as a good but WP:ROTM journalist doing his job. Many, most, of the references are his work, but they are not reviews of him nor his work, thus they provide no verification of any putative notability.

Dewi Evans (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)

Dewi Evans may meet notability criteria, but only as the main prosecution expert witness in the Lucy Letby murder case of 2023, and so does not warrant an independent article. That case, and Dr. Evans’ role in it, is currently the source of a great deal of public focus in the United Kingdom. This article was only created six days ago, and is already becoming a focus for people with a given agenda (casting aspersions on Dr Evans’s evidence) which is not part of the mission of an Encyclopaedia. For the time being, Dr. Evans’ contribution to the Lucy Letby case can be encapsulated within the Lucy Letby article and with a redirect from the current article. The material in the current article is either far more detail than is warranted for a retired paediatrician, or cherry-picked controversies. Should Ms. Letby’s conviction be vacated as a result of Dr. Evans’s evidence, there may be grounds for an independent article about him. But I understand there is consensus and precedent from a certain case in 2007 is that tangential witnesses in criminal cases are not notable in and of themselves (I am sorry I do not know the specific case, user:Bearian drew it to my attention).

Seeing as Dr. Evans has not generated enough interest to warrant an article about his life before now, it seems to me that precedent applies here. ElectricRay (talk) 16:20, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: Still deciding. On one hand, yes, there's precedent for deleting this sort of article, where the main claim to fame is being a witness, but on the other hand, they might be independently notable. I'm no longer an admin. Bearian (talk) 18:47, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
One suggestion from user:Sirfurboy is that the Lucy Letby article be converted to the Lucy Letby case which might allow a section about Dr Evans insofar as it is relevant to that case.ElectricRay (talk) 19:29, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@ElectricRay, while I do think there is a case to WP:SPLIT most of the material about his activities during the Lucy Letby case as too much of Dewi Evan's article is focused on the case per WP:PROPORTION. I oppose merging his biography into a potential article on the basis that Dewi Evans is independently notable.⁂CountHacker (talk) 19:40, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are no meaningful sources in the article, nor have I been able to find anything to support a claim of notability in a Google search. He wrote a book Battle On The Hudson, but I don't see anything showing that the book gained him notability as an author. He's also poorly linked within Wikipedia, and the only other place where he's listed at List of Duquesne University people, there is a rather weak source to an author profile at an article he wrote for the New York Post.

Routine sports fixture, no evidence of lasting notability. Both teams are having inconsistent seasons, so whilst result might be a surprise, there has been no ongoing coverage about the match.

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary in nature since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. The event does not have significant, in-depth, nor sustained continued coverage of the event itself other than, "After touching down, the plane crashed with X casualties", with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks.

    None of this is based on policies or guidelines. There is no such policy that states that an event is solely notable if it was "A scheduled passenger flight which ended in fatalities and [resulted in] safety recommendations". WP:BIAS does not state that we should ignore notability guidelines simply because it happened in a country where coverage is limited. I've seen better articles than this get deleted and the mere fact that the article is well referenced does not make it all the more notable. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You're applying our rules too strictly. All of the sources in the article are American, but this happened in Sudan and the Sudanese performed the investigation. Furthermore it is fairly obvious that a regularly scheduled passenger plane service which ended in fatalities is likely notable - heck, multiple American sources picked it up even though it occurred in rural Sudan. The only possible reason to delete at this time is that there isn't demonstrated lasting coverage in English-language sources... SportingFlyer T·C 20:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    So? You have yet to actually mention a policy or guideline to support keeping the article. An investigation was performed after a plane crash - That is routine. The news covered the accident without any further coverage - WP:NOTNEWS/WP:EVENTCRIT#4. It's been more than a decade since the plane crashed and there clearly is zero continued coverage. If your only argument for keeping is the aforementioned, then clearly one could create hundreds of articles on non-notable passenger flights on the sole basis that they received coverage for less than a week and had a final report published. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 05:28, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course I've cited policy - the article as written meets WP:GNG as it was a plane crash on a commercially scheduled flight which resulted in fatalities, which received international coverage. The only reason to delete this is if WP:NOT applies, and I don't think it does - the nature of the event and the location of the event means follow-up coverage is likely to be local and in a language other than English, and the nature of this specific crash means that deleting it would further implicit WP:BIAS by excluding plane crashes from parts of the world where finding coverage is difficult, even if the crash which would otherwise be notable. Your other argument is wrong as well - this is very different from a general aviation crash in the United States, so keeping this wouldn't open any floodgates. SportingFlyer T·C 06:37, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Existence is not notability so the fact that a plane crashed, wherever in the world, is not proof of notability unless the sources demonstrate so. Your comment only precised "scheduled passenger flight" which basically applies to any type of aircraft that provides that service. Sudan is a country that speaks english and arabic, so that already makes it easier to search for sources, and the mere statement that there could be sources does not establish notability unless you actually give sources that provide significant and in-depth coverage after the initial aftermath of the plane crash instead of saying that "finding coverage is difficult". It doesn't matter whether or not a deletion would further implicit bias. So instead of citing WP:BIAS, which does not trump notability guidelines, please provide us with these notability-establishing source. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Playing 110 minutes in the highest Finnish league, 264 minutes in the second Finnish league and 0 minutes in the Portuguese second league is an extremely weak claim to notability. In other words the footballer thoroughly fails WP:SPORTCRIT, unless he can be shoehorned in with strong, significant independent coverage. Now, Rodrigues is mainly known for scoring goals on the fourth Finnish tier. This is an amateur league for mailmen and schoolteachers, and in my opinion, it follows that the coverage on his exploits in that league (Palloliitto, found in the Finnish Wikipedia) is insignificant in nature. The subject therefore fails WP:GNG as well. Coverage like this is paywalled, but looks short. But you be the judge. Geschichte (talk) 08:35, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The current refs are non-rs and there is not much there. I found one link for 'A History of Life-Extensionism in the Twentieth Century' but is mostly blurb and not a real review so no multiple published reviews.

  • Keep: I lean keep. Per Google Scholar [7] he has published multiple things with varying amounts of citations. He has a chapter in a book published by a scholarly press [8]. He's referenced in a book about Transhumanism as well [9] and cited in this Encyclopedia of Biopmedical Gerontology by Elsevier [10] and his work is briefly discussed in this book from the University of California press [11], also this news article [12]. To my understanding, Times of Israel was declared generally reliable here Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_461#RfC:_Times_of_Israel, and this article by them describes Stambler and some of his work noting him at the time as "the director of Research and Development at Shmuel Harofe Geriatric Medical Center in Beer Yaakov"[13].

I can't confidently say it must not be a real thing. The idea of a secret treaty existing is not outside the realms of possibility - Italy was an unenthusasitc member of the Triple Alliance - but the closest I can find to any mention of it on the web is commercial agreements and general reapproachment in this thesis.[1] If there are any French or Italian speakers who can validate whether this article is real or not, please do. //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 14:55, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article created more than a decade ago, when inclusion criteria were almost non-existent, by a couple of kamikaze accounts. Searching for significant, third-party sources that could support the subject's notability turns up a desert portrait. To wit: Self-generated content, on Facebook, such as this or this, and as websites, e.g. this, multiple times; a few dead links, e.g. here or here; and so on. Only one legitimate hit, albeit obscure and small, was this 1990 review of one of their LPs. An admirable attempt perhaps, that lived a rather long life too, to make the act better known but Wikipedia is not a directory of musical acts nor a collection of random information. -The Gnome (talk) 12:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Let's start with one big error: the current nature preserve did not replace the "town"; it's southeast of what is supposed to have been the town site, as is clear as soon as you look at GMaps. OTOH I can't find any evidence for this as anything but a rail station. The little that was on the road by the tracks disappeared when the subdivision went in south of it, and there was never anything on the north side.

  • Baker says that George W. Stout founded a "village". Hamilton's and Darroch's A standard history of Jasper and Newton counties, Indiana on p.74 gives the other spelling, Stoutsberg, as station on the Three I's Railroad (the erstwhile Indiana, Illinois & Iowa Railroad Company) between Wheatfield and DeMotte. Graydon M. Meints's Indiana Railroad Lines has Stoutsburg on the LS-WK (c.f. Forest City, Indiana (AfD discussion)) and that's the station name in the 1899 A.B.C. Pathfinder Shipping and Mailing Guide. It's still listed in Bullinger's 1962 Postal and Shippers Guide for the United States and Canada and Newfoundland. Only Baker says village, but I have sources for post-office and railway station going into the middle 20th century.

    The preserve, per the 1995 Directory of Indiana's Dedicated Nature Preserves published by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, is Stoutsberg Savanna.

  • I am hoping that other people will have opinions, now that they know what the subject even is. I'm not sure how I would myself write about this. The savannah has a description in a Nature Conservancy publication that isn't quite hefty enough to stand alone, but per sources could be in a larger subject of nature conservancy in Indiana or some such; but conversely, taken alone I'd write about the railway station in an article on the railroad (or, better, what the cited source says the Three I's railroad was subsumed into) since that seems to be how every source discusses it and how the world knows the subject.

    I haven't found a source connecting the two and I suspect that Baker's village is a fantasy that conflates the George W. Stout, merchant of Indianapolis who has a historic building there, with the George W. Stout cobbler that was a lifelong postmaster in Hamilton, neither of whom connect to Jasper.

    Let's just say that I cannot prove that this article is not synthesizing a load of disconnected things that have roughly similar names, because what Baker asserts turns out to have no corroboration and a hefty indication from the history books's accounts of the two George W. Stouts that it isn't true.

So here we hit yet another conundrum in Jasper County, which seems to have more than its share, mostly due to Mr. Gifford of railroad fame. And this is plainly a point on a railroad (though not on his), as I find a tax assessment for the depot. The problem is that leaving out a soil series name use, everything is either using this to locate various properties/people, or records a series of industrial/agricultural facilities at the spot, of which there are three at present: a trailer manufacturer which occupies the westernmost and oldest spot, an ag co-op which may be the descendant of the oldest documented business, and a bio-energy plant which is a relative newcomer. The irregular lake to the north is the remains of the fourth business, a quarry which was apparently opened up around 1960. Both the co-op and the quarry have secondary documentation; interestingly, I also found this ad for a property sale, a tile factory which clearly wasn't here, but the agent of the seller apparently was. Or at least, he picked up his mail there. But once again, there's no sign anyone ever lived here. There was what looks from the air like a farmstead directly at the RR crossing in 1957, but it disappears after that; another disappears into the quarry property. Otherwise it's all farm fields surrounding the industry. Can anyone find something that actually describes the place? Mangoe (talk) 04:09, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian atrocities (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Why the page should be deleted

Creating the deletion discussion for Armenian Atrocities page. The page sources notorious Armenian genocide denials, such as Justin McCarthy and Guenter Lewy, cites Atatürk as a factual evidence, and uses almost exclusively Turkish scholars, all of which violates WP:RS. Moreover, through the article author also tries to push an agenda and engages in WP:SOAP and often writes his opinion WP:NOTOPINION. The article is also far from NPOV and violates WP:NPOV.

For example,in the background section of the article, he describes the life of Armenians under ottomans overtly positively, without a single negative example. The line "When Seljuk Turks conquered Anatolia in 11th century, they gave autonomy to Armenians, allowing them to live in a tolerant and just manner." looks like an opinion and "Armenians were ruled under the millet system. This provided them with cultural and political privileges." lacks context and sourcing. Which priveleges exactly?

Afterwards, in "Armenian National Movement" an article pushes an agenda that an "Armenian question" emerged during the Treaty of St Stephano, implying, that it wasn't a case before, without providing any sources on the claim. Afterwards, it also gives an opinion on why the Armenian question emerged, like "However, the real concern of the Russian government was not the wellbeing of the Armenians. Russian Empire, looked after its own interests through the Panslavism policy and wanted the strengthen its hegemony in the Near East.".

The section on Massacres uses almost exclusively primarily non-neutral sources. The introduction onto this section quotes Kamuran Gürün "Their plan was to provoke Muslims by organizing terrorist attacks and have them massacre Armenians. Thereupon, they expected the European powers to intervene and liberate Armenia.", which is an opinion from his book "The Armenian File", which is notable for its denial of Armenian genocide. To the right of it, he puts a quote of Anastas Mikoyan, a bolshevik, who directly opposed the creation of independent Armenia and was motivated by it, we can't rely on him.

On Kars and Ardahan he states the opinion of the MFA of Qajar Iran, which fought against Russia in WWI. On Van, he uses hostile language like "terrible" and "gangs", citing Justin McCarthy as a source, who is an Armenian genocide denier, and is not neutral, and on Erzurum he cities Şevket Süreyya Aydemir, who is described as "National Communist". On Marash, the author quotes Atatürk, who is also far from neutral on this matter

I think it is enough for now, but I would gladly comment on other flaws in it I've found, if this is not enough for the deletion. I think that the article Persecution of Muslims during the Ottoman contraction encompasses the topic covered in the article without a clear agenda or problems with neutrality, so I don't think there is a need for a specialized article regarding the crimes of Armenians.

Not sure this meets the notability guideline for fictional elements. The entire article is basically a plot summary. I am unsure of the reliability of the sole reference (preserved by archive here), but it looks more like a fansite than a book to be honest, even if it does claim to be published by a press. Obviously the vast majority of reference material on this topic is probably in Chinese. A quick look when searching the character's name in Chinese didn't bring up anything substantial (mostly press releases and blog posts). Looking on google books in Chinese didn't bring up anything substantial either, only the works themselves or plot summaries. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:53, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements, Martial arts, and China. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:53, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Redirect as if sources exist they are in Chinese, which I cannot search in, and I assume the nom did not (I did check the zh wiki article and it does not appear to have any reception/analysis and just like ours, is a plot summary + a list of media this character appers in). As such, the article as written fails WP:GNG, and WP:THEREMAYBESOURCES is hardly a valid argument. All things considered, redirecting is the best outcome, unless someone can improve it now. After redirection, this can hibernate in the history until such a time someone is able to restore it, if sources are found. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:22, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I did do a google book search in Chinese using Chinese characters [22] (I can't read Chinese either, though you can auto-translate the books titles and snippets using Chrome's page translation feature), and I did find some sources that were analyses of Jin Yong's novels that mentioned the character like [23] and [24], but the actual quotes that were shown as snippets looked like essentially plot summary to me. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:32, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    [25] might count as sigcov, as the snippet quote shows a bit of analysis. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:35, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep: Zhou Zhiruo (周芷若) is a lead character in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, one of China's greatest Wuxia novels, prominently featured in several films and TV series and portrayed by many top actresses. The deceased top actress's tombstone is honored with a replica of her most famous character, Zhou Zhiruo; see [26]. Well, should we delete Pokémon just because it is fictional? The character holds greater prominence than Western fictional characters in South Asian regions.
Numerous literary works explore and research the subject, including 周芷若 or 金庸 周芷若 人物分析, and many scholarly articles analyzing the character can be found in the Chinese Scholar Database. Please conduct research and find sources in the Chinese language before proposing deletion. If you nominate minor characters, I can agree with you, but this is an AfD on a notable female lead.
Really? Wikipedia is not exclusively an English-language source center, and the absence of English sources is not a valid reason for deletion. If you want to make a problem about Chinese fictional characters, please reconsider focusing on minor ones.

Well, here are some significant scholarly articles about her below:

previously deleted article not yet ready for namespace: non-WP:RS and WP:PRIMARY dependent BLP, no WP:SIGCOV by unrelated reliable sources. JFHJr () 04:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, I would like to mention that I am not very experienced in editing on the English Wikipedia and that I have been more active since June. I mainly contribute to the Serbian Wikipedia, where I am an administrator. On the Serbian Wikipedia, when an article has a "construction" template, no one edits it. So I assumed it was the same here. I haven't finished the article yet and plan to add more references. Here, I mostly write about musicians from jazz and classical music, and for them, there is often a problem with fewer available references. When I started editing here, an experienced user told me that the website allaboutjazz.com is considered a reliable source for musicians of this genre.I found Dorian Wallace while researching the article on John Sanborn (media artist), where his name was in red, and that led me to explore more about him. Could you please tell me which parts of the text are considered promotional? I did use his official website as a source, but I did not copy sentences directly. Dorian Wallace has been mentioned several times in The New York Times, but I haven’t included those references in the article because access requires a paid subscription. I do have a paid subscription—can I include those references in the article? The New York Times is a highly significant media outlet. If you allow me, I will add all the references I can find today and possibly tomorrow. If they are not adequate, you can delete the article. However, I kindly ask for your help in identifying which parts of the article should be removed to avoid promotional content. Thank you in advance for your guidance!--Марко Станојевић (talk) 14:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Elliott Algol was the first commercial Algol compiler, which is arguably the forerunner of 'C' and all other block structured programming languages in use today. It's highly significant in computing history. [1] Much historical information like this is known to people who were there, but pre-dates the WWW so won't be found in a Google search. Elliott itself is a very significant company in the development of commercial computing.


Fjleonhardt (talk) 13:44, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So do you have sources to show that this subject meets WP: GNG or not? No idea why you’re calling it “highly significant” when the source you’ve used to back up your claim doesn’t mention Elliott ALGOL even once. HyperAccelerated (talk) 15:08, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pure plot summary and list of apperances; the bit on development is unreferenced and there is no reception, not even any listicles. Fails WP:GNG and my BEFORE failed to find anything that's not a plot summary. Since it's just plot, not seeing what we can do here except merge a few sentences (lead?) to Batman#Technology. (If anyone cares, Batsub was just blodly blanked and redirected looong time ago without any AfD... there was also a Batboat, I think).

Weird subartricle with no other similar article for any piece of software (there are only three other Features of... articles on Wikipedia, all plot summaries of comics, also discussed at AfD right now). This is effectively a weird prose WP:CFORK of the main Opera (web browser) article, -history and such. Maybe something here could be merged to the main article, otherwise per WP:ATD-R this could be redirected there, if folks prefer to keep it for its history. Fails WP:GNG otherwise, plus - well, pointless fork. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:53, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

merge into Opera (web browser) or delete: pointless fork, especially when you consider that at best, 2 of these features are actually notable. all others have been staples of browsers to the point a large part of the article is WP:BLUE(i'm aware this isn't what wp:blue is meant for as an essay. you get my point). themoon@talk:~$ 08:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (don't merge): This article is very WP:PROMO-ish and loaded with plainly non-notable trivia. Many sections are unsourced, and most of the sources that are cited are either non-independent (Opera website/forums) or unreliable UGC and/or promotional. See also WP:NOTGUIDE...merging with the Opera article would add 34kb of cruft to a 62 kb article. We simply don't need a listing of every single feature of a web browser in an encyclopedia, any more than we need a listing of every single feature of a model of car, particularly when those features are quite standard (option of leather or velour upholstery! Seat warmers in LX and EX trim levels! Delco sparkplugs!). WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 12:18, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    overall I agree, but there are 1 or 2 notable features that would make sense to merge into the main article like being the first to include webVR support and mouse gestures. i'm fine with delete as well, it's not a huge loss, and the main article can still be edited to include them later. themoon@talk:~$ 12:27, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Following from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of the Marvel Universe (3rd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is the last of those three fictional universe descriptions in a list form. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST; Wikipedia articles are not places for pure plot summaries, and as a list, this is too broad (list of all fictional in-universe concepts related to Spider-Man). PS. Also, on the off chance this is kept, this would need renaming to the list of something format. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:50, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Same problems as with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of the Marvel Universe (3rd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of Spider-Man media - this is just a plot summary of that universe in a list form. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST (too broad - we don't allow pure plot summaries of fictional universes in prose, and trying to "cheat" by listifying them is not cute). PS.

  • Strong Keep: Echoing arguments from prior AfDs of the Marvel Universe features list, this is not just plot summaries, but descriptive information of different elements from this franchise (which is notable) and some of their real-world attributes, like how some objects were made. This list was not conceived to avert deleting redirects as you have insinuated, so I would encourage you to WP:Assume good faith in this list's existence; no one is trying to "cheat" or WP:Game the system here. If you think this list needs improvement, then that is something to discuss at the list's talk page, not at AfD, because WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. There have already been discussions at the talk about potential ways to improve it, so I encourage you to collaborate there first before bringing up another AfD. Also, a rename or change in scope is not warranted nor what AfD is to be used for. Trailblazer101 (talk) 02:22, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep In parallel to my opinion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of the Marvel Universe (3rd nomination), I believe this list does fulfill WP:NLIST, being the complementary list to the notable Marvel Cinematic Universe. It does fulfill two common functions of lists: navigation for the blue-linked entries, and collection of information on features which are not notable by themselves as in WP:ATD-M. For the latter type of entries, this list needs more commentary based on secondary sources and possibly trimming, but these are matter of normal editing and therefore do not warrant deletion as WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Also see e.g. the entry on Dora Milaje uniform for a positive example of a brief entry that contains plot-summary and real-world information based on secondary sources. So this is already now not pure plot-summary, and noone is trying to "cheat" here. I suggest to those most bothered by the current state to WP:JUSTFIXIT. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is sprawling enough to produce articles like Infinity Stones or The Blip, so that a "features" list makes sense here even though that may not be the case for other fictional universes (also, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). This is also the corresponding list to Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe features in accordance with WP:CLN. With regard to the name, I don't really see a need to change this to List of features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the balance between being concise and precise, but have not strong opinion on this. Daranios (talk) 12:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: There are plenty of noteworthy fictional elements from across the MCU that can be included on Wikipedia with appropriate sourcing and real-world discussion, and it makes sense to have a central location for the ones that are not noteworthy enough for their own articles. If there are concerns about the way this is being done, i.e. too much focus on plot details over real-world discussion or concerns that the list is violating WP:ISNOT, then that should be discussed at the article's talk page. Those are not reason enough to delete the whole thing. - adamstom97 (talk) 12:39, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I think that a good alternative would be to include reception and creator/creative discussions of these locations, objects, and events in the article. It doesn't have to go into super depth, but something like offhand mentions of why someone went a certain way with a given object or event could be good. This could be particularly useful for items or locations that don't have articles but have received some level of criticism/discussion in reliable sources. I'm not particularly interested in doing this myself, but wanted to throw this out there as a possibility. For example, this source discusses the Witches' Road from Agatha All Along. That location doesn't have an article (and probably doesn't need one) so this could be a good place to put that location specific content other than the main page for the series (particularly if focusing specifically on the road could put undue weight in the series article).

  • Not voting directly since I haven't looked for sources myself, but if what we have in the article is all we've got, I'd say this isn't a pass of WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. -- asilvering (talk) 01:59, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. GNG dictates widespread coverage in independent sources. Doing a cursory search of the sources leads to Lamona's conclusion. There are references, but, for the most part, they are minor and few enough as to not satisfy the widespread coverage usually required. One single paragraph and one single page isn't enough to satisfy notability.  GuardianH  03:35, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Does not pass WP:AUTHOR. The third guideline says that the author must have "created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work" and said work has been the subject of multiple independent reviews.

The individual Zulkarnain Saer Khan partook in the orchestration of a dossier denominated All the Prime Minister's Men. Consequent to the helping of this dossier, he was the recipient of a commendation entitled the Global Shining Light Awards. The Global Shining Light Awards is bereft of eminence or substantial prestige in any capacity. The mere attainment of the Global Shining Light Awards does not fullfill the criteria of notability (person), as the dossier All the Prime Minister's Men itself fails to consummately fulfill the stringent prerequisites of notability.

"The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."
But no other work by the individual in the article can be found apart from All the Prime Minister's Men, and All the Prime Minister's Men is neither a significant nor a well-known work. This means the individual does not fulfill point three of Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals. Hydronex (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: All the Prime Minister's Men is definitely a well-known work. It got wide coverage in Bangladeshi and some international media apart from Al Jazeera Media.[32][33][34][35][36] [37] Al Jazeera also won the top prize for "Best Human Rights Journalism" (investigation category) in the 8th annual Amnesty Media award for 'All the Prime Minister's Men'.[38] Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 09:17, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: It is the responsibility of those who vote keep to provide a solid argument. Nothing can be gained from canvassed or paid votes. The article is highly promotional and lacks neutral tone. It overemphasizes achievements while downplaying controversies, making it more like a PR piece than an encyclopedic entry. The subject fails WP:NBLP, as most coverage comes from sympathetic or affiliated sources rather than independent, in-depth analysis. NXcrypto Message 04:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

Article about a concert tour, not properly referenced as passing WP:NTOUR. As always, concert tours are not automatically entitled to their own Wikipedia articles just because they happened -- in the exact words of NTOUR, what is required is that the sources "show notability in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms", while "sources that merely establish that a tour happened are not sufficient to demonstrate notability."
But as usual for bad articles about concert tours, this is just "tour happened, so here are the set list and the venues, the end", with absolutely none of the content about any noteworthy cultural, creative or social context that NTOUR requires, and it's "referenced" entirely to a single Instagram post rather than any GNG-worthy reliable sourcing.

  • Keep: I doubt whether a BEFORE was actually conducted prior to this nomination, as the corresponding article on zhwiki [zh] already has 19 sources, all except the first and last of which are news articles from reputable media like Ming Pao[40], Hong Kong Economic Times[41], HK01[42], Oriental Daily News[43], Sing Tao Daily[44], and Ta Kung Pao[45], indicating that there are plenty of accessible sources available. From a quick Google search, I found many sources not only from Hong Kong, but also from Taiwan[46][47][48], China[49][50][51] Singapore[52][53][54], Malaysia[55][56][57], and Thailand[58]. There are also concert reviews, such as from The Straits Times[59] and HK01[60]. I agree with the nom that the current article is in poor shape, containing no sources aside from an Instagram post and consisting solely of a rundown and tour dates. However, AFD is not cleanup. The nom's concerns should be addressed by adding a {{more citations needed}} template instead of directly sending it to AFD. (especially considering that the article was created yesterday by a relatively new editor, there is a greater chance that the page creator is unfamiliar with Wikipedia's citation policies rather than the subject being non-notable.) —Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 16:16, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not appreciating the attack here against Bearcat (who is one of our most prolific AfD nominators and can do BEFORE in their sleep, literally), and there's just one source in this article, followed by a no context list of venues and an untranslated track list. This is a very, very poor article titled completely wrong and promotional, and Eason Chan#Tours is also very poorly written. At the very minimum we need a proper translation of the song list and many more sources. I also don't think this is the article creator's first rodeo as they know at the very least how to create bulleted lists and grids, so the 'first article give them a chance' argument doesn't hold water for me. Nate (chatter) 18:09, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh, I appreciate Bearcat's hard work at AFD as well, and I certainly did not intend to attack him. However, I think it is quite obvious that a BEFORE is indeed missing prior to this discussion, especially considering there are literally 17 sources sitting in the Chinese version of the article. A quick search I did also revealed numerous sources in both Chinese and English, and I have only listed a couple of the strongest ones (like concert reviews and foreign media coverage) above, which is already more than enough for a GNG pass. Nate, deletion is not cleanup, and AFD has nothing to do with incorrect title format and poor article quality. We are discussing notability here, and sources not yet included in an article should also be considered. Please review the sources I provided here or on zhwiki before you !vote delete, and it would be even better if you could also do a cursory search, given the absence of a BEFORE in this discussion (especially since I literally found several dozen of them during my search). —Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 18:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewed all sources and what I found are press releases, primary sources and passing mentions of the company. As of the time of nomination, sources number one to 8 are mostly press releases, and from number 9 to 19 are mostly primary sources.

Subject does not meet ANYBIO as far as I can tell. From a music standpoint, subject's songs have not been featured in any SIGCOV I can find. There is also routine coverage of middle school and high school theater performances from over a decade ago, but I don't see it rising to level of notability.

Sources are unreliable, and the reviews added to the reception section are the same reviews published twice by both websites, failing NFILM. Additionally, I doubt their reliability. The source BMDB is entirely unreliable as it is a blog website. GrabUp - Talk 08:29, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep it because, recently, a video clip "Chacha, Bari Ghor Eto Shajano Keno? Ar Hena Kothay?" (translate:Uncle, why the house so decorated? and where's Hena?" And and the title song of this film "Premer Somadhi Venge" are widely viral on social media. The film also remade in India's Bengali language film industry Tollywood in 1997 as Bakul Priya. Recently, i edited in this article and removed the unreliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meghna Jamila (talkcontribs) 17:27, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
