This thing is so promotional we need to start over. This would have been deleted in 2013 if the PROD tag wasn't removed. Also, ALL the sources portray the person in question in considerable good standing. Sounds like a resume posted on WP. Cool guy (talk • contribs) • he/they 23:47, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

- Draftify Inadequate sourcing as it is unreliable and not independent. LinkedIn account? Very much reads like a resume, WP:ADMASQ. Deletion seems premature but I would see the merit there as well. NiklausGerard (talk) 06:04, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Draftification is only a reasonable choice when there is some expectation that someone will improve it and resubmit it as an article. For an article that is still in the state it is after a 2007 creation, I don't think that expectation is reasonable. If you want to do that yourself, do it now. If you think someone else will do it, who? Without that expectation, it is just a hypocritical way of saying "delete six months from now". If you think it should be deleted, why not now, and why not say so explicitly? —David Eppstein (talk) 06:10, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- I was under the impression that deletion was meant to be a last-resort and to allow opportunity for an article to be improved upon. I hadn’t considered the timeline as the indication that I should have. You are correct. NiklausGerard (talk) 06:29, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:TNT, this seems like a notable subject with several papers that have 1000+ citations (even though in a *very* high citation field) and further achievements, but the current article is not usable. --hroest 17:32, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Revert The article back to this version from January 2021 [1] which is much better written. The subject appears to be notable and passes WP:NPROF, and most of the over the top promotional cruft has been recently added. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 01:58, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTCV. Independently of the promotional-tone issue (which was easily resolved), doesn't look like there's any independent source about this guy, and the whole of the content of the article is pretty much like a verbose CV. An average joe with an average job, who seems too WP:ROTM to warrant an article. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:39, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Unconvinced from references that this is notable to the extent that it meets the guidelines at WP:PRODUCT standalone. It might be worth taking parts of this and incorporating this into the company's article, but not enough thats usable to consider an immediate merge in my opinion.

- Keep - The YSI 2300 analyzer was the de facto reference standard for glucose (and glucometer) readings in the US (and thus probably abroad) for the past 30-40 years. When they announced its discontinuation, a conference with 60 attendees was held to determine a successor. It is notable for being the reference standard due to its widespread use and history, rather than due to a regulatory requirement. The glucometer reading space is quite crowded and its notable for having remained the standard until its literal discontinuation. GobsPint (talk) 03:04, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Nominating for deletion due to limited coverage in secondary sources - the philosopher here appears to be a name mentioned in Demosthenes. Secondary source in the article only mentions the person by name but says little about them - car chasm (talk) 16:25, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Philosophy and Greece. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 16:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- For information, this is the secondary source that I cited when contesting WP:PROD deletion. It was only the first book that I looked at. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:44, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- There is loads more secondary coverage in the introduction to ISBN 3515083960, here, published by Franz Steiner Verlag and the second book that I looked at. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- The second source does have more in-depth coverage, but I still think the philosopher is on the fence in terms of notability and should be discussed so I'm not going to early-close the AfD. The sources I found when I searched were more like the first one, which I do not believe qualifies based on the description and examples in WP:SIGCOV. - car chasm (talk) 17:15, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Appears to be notable, as a figure involved in important historical events, mentioned and chronicled by notable writers. There is an argument that anyone from classical antiquity whose name has survived to the present day is notable; I wouldn't go so far as to say that they all deserve their own articles, but they can certainly populate lists and be mentioned in connection with notable people and events that do have articles. Here we have a figure whom several scholars, both from antiquity and modern times, have written about, which gives him a presumptive notability—but even if we doubt that for a moment, it would be difficult to find what is said about the subject in one article if it had to be merged into another, or split between all of the sources who discuss him. Is he even important enough to be mentioned in those articles? This question has nothing to do with notability—he may be perfectly notable, but not relevant enough to be mentioned in the biographies of every person whose life he touched or who wrote about him. It seems like this article is the only logical place to gather what is said about him. So both because his contributions to the times in which he lived and the various scholars, past and present, who have something to say about him, seem to indicate a degree of notability, and because it makes no sense to scatter the contents of this article among several others to which the subject is at best tangentially relevant, this article should be kept.

this is an xwiki autobio (as per the creators plwiki userpage) and while that doesn't automatically mean deletion, it's important to note the heavy reliance on non-existent sources and primary sources.

- Comment -- He is (or was) head of a territorial prefecture, a Catholic entity that might be promoted into becoming a diocese. I am not a Catholic and so do not know for certain. I think there is a network of Polish Catholic churches in UK. This man is (or was) their overseer. He is apparently not a bishop, but presumably holds (or held) a similar but slightly inferior position. This seems to me to be at least approaching notability; certainly more than the minister of a local church. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:17, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete He's not involved with the Polish Roman Catholic Churches in the UK, but rather a small Old Catholic offshoot. He was apparently for two months in 2017 the administrative head of the body that was to become the Polish-Catholic Church in United Kingdom, an Old Catholic group with "one parish, two chapels and a group of believers of the Belarusian language". This apparently split off from the Old Catholic Church in Poland, which itself has, according to our article fewer than 600 members? But before that he was apparently in 2017 part of the Polish-Catholic Church of the Republic of Poland since the article says he helped contribute to their canon law? And now he's on leave of absence and not working as a priest? There's no evidence of notability here.--Jahaza (talk) 03:11, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

The article does not really make a claim to notability. Being the last verteran of a civil war to die is not really such a claim, especially when people knew so little about you they had to hunt you out to find you and at first thought that someone else was the holder of this non-notable title. Beyond this the article has no sources, and has had a tag notifying us of this fact for almost 9 years. John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:47, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Single newspaper ref in fi.wp article appears to collaborate the content, but isn't sufficient to establish notability. I'll do a bit of digging around, but I'm not too hopeful. -Ljleppan (talk) 07:10, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- There's at least one text discussing a "Lauri Nurminen" (whether it's the same person, I'm not completely certain) on the website of Suomen Sotaveteraaniliitto (transl. Finnish Union of War Veterans), but I'm not quite convinced that it counts as independent of the subject. Someone with that name is also mentioned in an Aamulehti story that I can't access due to a paywall, but based on the title and the opening paragraph, I think the story is focused on another person. The National Library of Finland newspaper archives found plenty of hits for the name, but these appear to be very passing and some are presumably about a different person altogether:
- That said, I didn't go through every single result in the newspaper archives given how low-quality even the most relevant hits were. Leaning towards a delete, unless someone can find sources to establish notability. Note that the name is an extremely standard Finnish name, so any sources should be scrutinized to make sure they are actually discussing the article subject. - Ljleppan (talk) 07:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

- There's no evidence for your "10 citations/year" statement unless you have done a detailed distribution of years of publication and citations. And even so, picking out "some of her papers from 30 years ago" is not representative of her work - she continues to publish.

- Peterkingiron: But do we have anything which does indicate it took place? Any reliable source whatsoever? The entire problem is that the sources referenced don't mention the battle, nor can we find it anywhere else where it ought to have been mentioned, the sole exception being a self-published book which most likely copied Wikipedia. I don't think anyone has questioned it on notability grounds, but only due to verifiability. /Julle (talk) 18:22, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Peterkingiron: This is not about relevance - the numbers do not matter. It is about verifiability and to some degree also about plausibility. We have until today no reliable source and the content, despite seemingly plausible on the surface, is not very convincing to me in the details. 1) "Count Magnar Svendssen"? - no evidence of his existence. 2) "cannon ... spirited out of Breitenfeld" - the Swedes captured all imperial guns at Breitenfeld. 3) Infantry fleeing from Breitenfeld all the way to Klingenthal? - in general, infantry either had time and cover for an orderly retreat or it would not leave the battlefield at all (the northern infantry group of the Imperials at Breitenfeld retreated orderly, the southern group was entirely captured); Klingenthal is no plausible flight-destination, the fastest way back to Bohemia would be via Dresden and there were Saxon garrisons (allied with the Imperials) in Magdeburg, Wittenberg, Dresden, Freiberg, Chemnitz and Zwickau, all providing temporary safety. 4) Almost no survivors on one side? - not common practice in this war, soldiers tended to capitulate and to let themselves forced into enemy ranks rather fighting to death; exceptions exist but were reported as remarkable (i. e. the failed surrender of Spanish battalions at Rocroi). 5) And have you noticed the longbows? Longbows in 1642? Palastwache (talk) 21:04, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

- 178 is the number of median graphs on nine vertices.[1] Being palindromic in three consecutive bases (4546, 3437, 2628) might be considered interesting too. If deleted, 178 would become the lowest integer without its own article. Certes (talk) 18:49, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Despite Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/198 (number) and a recent remark I made on my talk page I'm not actually in favor of deleting most or all of our existing number articles. This is one that I already cleaned up and found enough properties that I thought were interesting to rescue it (the two in the article at the time of nomination). If I understood https://oeis.org/A061777 or https://oeis.org/A000650 clearly enough to summarize in a single sentence I would also have added them. Another is https://oeis.org/A053018 : it's one of the indexes of the smallest triple of dodecahedral numbers where one is the sum of the other two. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:32, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep I think that between what's in the article now (slightly expanded since the nomination) and the other points mentioned above, this gets over the bar. The sequences in which it appears don't all lend themselves to brief verbal summary, but that's a challenge for writing, not grounds for deletion. XOR'easter (talk) 17:51, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep – not the most exciting integer in the universe, but the expanded article just passes WP:NNUMBER and the presence of articles for all other numbers in the range tips the balance. Certes (talk) 21:08, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

The result was delete. WP:V is a core policy, requiring that all material - at least all contested material, as in this AfD - be reliably sourced. The article has no references even after 7 days of AfD, which makes deletion mandatory, irrespective of the consensus in this discussion that this would probably be an appropriate topic for an article. The article can be restored to draft via WP:REFUND by those who want to work on properly sourcing it, but it would probably be easier to rewrite it from scratch based on reliable sources.

CommentKeep. I think the nom needs to clarify the objection before any serious discussion can be had. As I read it, as a non-specialist, this article is intended to cover the emergence of Romanian national identity and/or nationalism in the 19th century. "National awakening" seems not to be a proper noun (although some scholarly sources do use it: eg. 1]) and if so would fail WP:NDESC but this is grounds for re-namingnot deletion. The subject almost certainly meets WP:GNG. In this context, can you please clarify exactly what your objection is? The fact that it is unsourced is not, in itself, grounds for deletion either. —Brigade Piron (talk) 22:36, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- (As an aside, further research suggests that the Romanian term Renașterea națională is indeed used as a given term by historians of this period, similar to comparable terms in Hungarian and Croat historiography. See eg 2 and 3). —Brigade Piron (talk) 22:41, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- My objection is that "National awakening of Romania" doesn't seem to be a clearly defined topic. This just seems to be a random grab-bag of assorted historical trivia with no clear focus on what it's supposed to be talking about. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:40, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- I have added a comment above which suggests that "National Awakening" is indeed an established concept in Romanian historiography. I agree that the article quality and structure is poor but the subject seems perfectly straightforward. The only question is whether the article is so bad that WP:TNT is justified.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Artists and Germany. Shellwood (talk) 12:44, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Schmitz has been in a number of biennials and group museum exhibitions, some of which are notable, and others of which aren't. These are probably sufficient for NARTIST. The main problem as noted by Knud Truelsen is there are few RS with SIGCOV. His resume's list of publications only includes about 15 [9] but they mostly are just passing mentions. The biggest red flag for me, is that his resume lists participation in two successive editions of the Venice Biennale, neither of which was verifiable, even after a deep search. The first claims "55th Venice Biennial, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico , Venice, Italy" which implies he was in the main exhibition, curated by Massimiliano Gioni, which he wasn't: [10]. He also claims to have been part of the following biennale: "56th Venice Biennial, Palazzo Zorzi, Venice, Italy." It appears that Palazzo Zorzi is the building where Unesco has a field office, and maybe they held some kind of event, but [11] I wasn't able to find any independent RS to verify either of these claims. For me this is a big red flag, as it is indicative of the kind of resume inflation associated with PROMO and in some cases Vanity exhibitions. Theredproject (talk) 18:03, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - This article is part of a small walled-garden consisting of three articles: Marc Schmitz, his partner Dolgor Ser-Od, and their curatorial project Land Art Mongolia, all of which were created by, and mainly edited by two single purpose accounts, with related names, one of which references one of the artists. This indicates that this may very well be a self-promotional WP:COI-WP:PROMO creation. Of the three the Land Art Mongolia may be the most notable; perhaps merging into that artist is an alternative to deletion. Netherzone (talk) 18:49, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't how we missed this in our first pass over NCC, but this one is plainly bogus when the maps and aerials are considered. The name doesn't even appear until the 2014 topo, and when it does show up, it is placed in a spot that, after a hundred years of maps, is still blank space. As in, it's so blank that someone has to be deliberately keeping it bare of trees and structures. And in fact, someone is: the area is the grounds of the Cauffiel estate, which you can rent out for your posh weddings and such. The GNIS spot has drifted southwest a little, so that it now sits next to an old bank barn that is also part of the Cauffiel property; the neighborhood beyond is Bellevue, attested to by decade upon decade of topos. I have no ldea where the name Delaire came from, but I note that it gets false hits galore in GBooks because it is apparently a common mis-scan of "Delaware". Anyway, this spot is obviously not a settlement of any kind. Mangoe (talk) 20:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete: This is a tricky one, as there is quite a bit of coverage on newspapers.com, but it is all superficial and shallow in scope; those that aren't fall under WP:RSOPINION as opinion pieces, and the one's that aren't op-eds don't provide WP:SIGCOV. [29] I made some clippings of the best ones I could find, and here are the parameters I used [30]. Curbon7 (talk) 22:23, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Probably the most prominent mention of the party was in a David Brooks opinion piece, published a few months before the merger was negotiated: Opinion | The American Renaissance Is Already Happening - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
- It sparked a debate in some circles. Here's one offering, which includes a link to the Institute which must have been added later (we didn't exist in June 2018): Why the American Whig Party Cannot Be Revived (lawliberty.org)
- There's been discussion of Whiggery in general all along. Here's one piece from the period when the party was being revived after a dormant post-Tea Party period (full disclosure: the author has since become a personal friend of mine): Where Are the Whigs (When We Need Them)? - The American Interest (the-american-interest.com)
- And here's a typical attack from the Austrian flank: David Brooks, The Whigs, and Corporate Welfare | Mises Institute
- All of those popped up in a simple search. So, while the party never achieved any significant electoral gains -- which was the reason for the merger to form the Alliance Party (the story of barriers to entry for independent parties is a long one, @Johnpacklambert) -- Whiggery itself has been a significant tradition in American politics all along. And while the MWP ultimately failed, as did the first American Whig Party, the effort didn't go entirely unnoticed.
- Which may or may not mean the entry should be retained. But I think it's prudent to look at the MWP from the perspective of an historical artifact, especially since it no longer exists, and make any judgments on that basis. KevinJRogers (talk) 15:26, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi! As executive director of the Modern Whig Institute (I'm speaking here in that capacity rather than as a Wikipedia editor) I think I need to clear up a misunderstanding here: the Institute isn't a "related political entity" to anything, @Otr500, let alone to a political party which no longer exists. We're an independent civic association/think tank.
- We don't lobby, and we're barred by law from engaging in electoral politics: "(A)ll section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity."
- I have no idea whether that has any bearing on what happens to the Modern Whig Party entry. I just wanted to make sure any decision is based on the facts as they stand today.
- Thank you! KevinJRogers (talk) 00:32, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete when about the best that can be said for your organization is that someone who claimed to be a member was elected as constable in some super small place while running officially as a member of another political party, your are not a significant organization.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- I think this is the wrong way of looking at this. There are a number of American politicial parties, like U.S. Labor Party and Liberty Union Party, that do reach notability even though they are at best minimally successful. It's entirely dependent on the range of sources that exist. Curbon7 (talk) 20:35, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete makes no sense — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottWillis45 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Many of the deletion proponents are not appropriately applying the standard for notability. For example, it is disingenuous for someone to argue for deletion simply because that user has never heard of this party. While clearly a minor political party, it 1) received considerable media coverage over a period of several years; and 2) was notable for some of its members winning or running as Whigs for the first time in 150 years, including one individual who specifically defeated a Democrat on the Modern Whig Party ticket for the first Whig victory in 159 years. According to the page, media coverage included the front page of the Wall Street Journal and inclusion into an up-and-coming political parties list in Time Magazine. The opinion pieces cited are not written as letters to the editor, but were crafted by on-staff opinion writers from various media outlets, including Slate and the News & Observer in NC. As such, the party is notable for the effort, coverage, and impact on the history of the Whig Party in modern times. Saying that, the article can certainly be fixed to remove references to the Modern Whig Institute (which does not appear to be notable at this time). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aardvark31 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep— I agree that the Outline page nominated here needs to be dragged into good shape, no question. However, Outline pages are wholly different beasts from standard article pages. Even if Tennis does a more comprehensive job than Outline of tennis, the aim of the two pages is different.

- Keep. Does what WP:OUTLINEs are supposed to do, which necessitates some overlap with the main article.

prevent editors from improving it in the future
. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:50, 10 April 2022 (UTC)- If this were a normal article where notability came into play, WP:NEGLECT would be a bad argument to make. But it's been 13 years and nobody from WikiProject Tennis has spent time working on this overview, unlike Tennis, so realistically no one will. It therefore fails the "realistic potential for expansion" standard in WP:NEGLECT. The statement "Does what WP:OUTLINEs are supposed to do" is also incorrect as it gives a very poor, outdated outline of tennis. The {{Tennis box}} navbox on the Tennis article does a much better job at providing the basic links. Letcord (talk) 21:29, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Makes several claims to notability but searches in Google Books, ProQuest and other places do not give us anything that can support the claims.

Non-notable non-currency used exclusively in the town of Orania, Northern Cape. Claims about currency status fail WP:VERIFIABILITY and there is no proof it is actually pegged to the South African rand. Reliable sources emphasize the Ora as an effort to further establish a white ethnostate (or volkstaat) within South Africa rather than exist as an actual currency. This can all be covered, and already is, on the main Orania, Northern Cape article. The article is replete with false/misleading information, primary sources, non-English sources, and the article seems to exist largely for WP:PROMOTION. Reliable sources make it clear that the Ora is more accurately compared to a company scrip or coupon, and just one step above monopoly money. Desertambition (talk) 12:30, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep, no demonstration of a lack of notability. Also oppose the ongoing removals/rewriting that seem at attempt to make the article match the deletion rationale.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Article about a non-notable pseudo-governmental body that was created in 2017 (Clarification due to confusion in responses: Article was created in 2017, council was created in 1993). Article is replete with false information that is not supported by sources. Many of the sources are misleading, not in English, or just not relevant at all. Nothing about this council necessitates an article of its own. Anything that is of note is mentioned in the Orania, Northern Cape article. Orania has been an integral part of Thembelihle Local Municipality since 2001 from what I can tell. Information on the council was largely added by one user and fails WP:GNG. The article is extremely misleading and filled with WP:WEASEL words that imply Orania is a separate municipality. In fact, residents of Orania vote in local elections along with every South African. Strong suspicion this was created with WP:PROMOTION in mind. Desertambition (talk) 11:10, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and South Africa. Shellwood (talk) 11:46, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The article states that the first election was held in 2000, not 2017, as per NOM. Also, it's the only functioning transitional representative council, 22 years after the structures were abolished, and its existence is as the result of a judicial decision. The News24 article is a WP:RS on this [41]. WP:NGEO applies here: "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable". It appeared to retain its status as of 2016[42]. The standard for South African articles is to have articles about local government structures that are distinct from their constituent towns. Nominator can remove uncited or misleading text without resorting to deletion. "Orania has been an integral part of Thembelihle Local Municipality since 2001" seems to be contradicted by the WP:RS on this matter. Park3r (talk) 04:52, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- What you wrote is pretty incorrect and misleading. Orania ceased to exist as a separate transitional representative council in 2001. The 2016 article you linked does not say they exist as a separate entity, only that they are mostly ignored. They still pay taxes, vote, and are subject to South African laws and regulations. The News24 article you linked was written in 2000.
- WP:NGEO does not apply here, that only applies to the article Orania, Northern Cape.
- "Orania has been an integral part of Thembelihle Local Municipality since 2001" is an accurate statement. Desertambition (talk) 05:12, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Regardless of whether it presently exists or not (and you haven't provided a WP:RS to show that the transitional council was abolished) it did exist and was notable, therefore it remains notable as per WP:NTEMP. UPDATED: the representative council was still extant in 2016 [43]. Park3r (talk) 05:17, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Park3r is correct. Whether the transitional representative council still exists or not is not relevant to the question of notability. Sources from 2000 are evidence of notability. The Mail and Guardian article of August 2016 is also evidence of notability.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:23, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep, it has coverage in independent reliable sources that addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Whether one approves or not of Oriana is not relevant to whether Wikipedia has an article on a topic (for example, we have an article on the murder of Oksana Makar, and I assume that no sane person approves of her murder).-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:31, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- P.S. The Wikipedia article was created in 2017. The council was created in 1995.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:33, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- My request is not about whether or not I "approve" of the council, it is about WP:GNG guidelines and none of the sources in the article focus on the representative council. Wikipedia is not a WP:DATABASE and every passing mention of organizations does not need an article, especially when the main Orania, Northern Cape article already covers the topic adequately. Desertambition (talk) 10:37, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- What you say about "none of the sources in the article focus on the representative council" is untrue.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:48, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- It is true actually. All of the articles focus on Orania, Northern Cape not the council. Can you please link the articles that focus on the council exclusively? Desertambition (talk) 06:52, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- What you say about "none of the sources in the article focus on the representative council" is untrue.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:48, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The deletion rationale is flawed on several points. Firstly, there is no requirement for sources to be in English (see WP:RSUE). It would not be surprising if some of the sources on this topic were in Afrikaans. Secondly, whether the council has been subsequently abolished is irrelevant. Some very good sources have been identified above, such as the 2016 Mail & Guardian article. Concerns regarding article quality or content is best addressed by improving the article, not deleting it. AusLondonder (talk) 13:35, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The current status of the council is irrelevant; but it is notable for lasting well past all other representative councils were abolished and even more so because of the racial politics of Orania.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I have concerns whether this incident is notable (WP:GNG). The article seeml like a WP:OR mess (starting with the lead which claims this incident "supposedly occurred"). Source query for "Battle of Karánsebes" gives a passing mention in one reliable book (here), and few mentions in less reliable works: a larger account in an unreliable self-published book here - lulu.com, quite possibly based on our article, another one here, iUniverse, and a few more similar accounts. Our article includes a list of sources, but they are either primary or just master/doctoral theses. The references are almost entirely 18th-19th century primary sources. I am not sure this ORish mess can be rescued; as someone mentioned in the past AfD, this was an interesting 'friendly fire' incident, but on that doesn't seem very well researched. Note that our article has infobox claiming 150 dead, referenced in text to a 1788 primary source; the text then provides two larger casualties assessments, one also to 18th century, one to a modern German doctoral thesis. But the single reliable mention I found and linked above is for "thousands", and such a high causlty count is more common in the mostly-unreliabe source found. As I said, this is a poorly researched mess. Comments appreciated - can this be rewritten and rescued, do we invoke WP:TNT, or do we just delete this?

- Weak keep or find a merge target. Doctoral theses are the subject of an examination, which is similar to peer-review. I do not like the inclusion of the word "supposedly", but that is a matter of editing. There may be a conflict of evidence on casualty numbers, but that is an issue for improvement by editing and better research. We have enough sources to show that the incident happened, so that this is not a case of invention. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:07, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Peterkingiron Just to be clear, the doctoral thesis is not about this event, it only mentions it at some point. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:55, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Contrary to nom, by my count there are 4 19th century secondary sources in the list (old secondary sources are still secondary sources!) The article might need to be improved by a German-speaking editor, but prima facie notability is established. Atchom (talk) 21:52, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Years ago I urged that Wikipedia's article on "Salvino D'Armati" (the supposed inventor of eyeglasses) be deleted because he was completely fictional. But it was decided to keep the article because D'Armati was prominent: he was cited in a number of sources. I don't understand why this article is being nominated for deletion. The Battle of Karánsebes actually happened: primary and secondary sources attest that. It is notable as a friendly fire incident but for the wrong reason: in 1968 Paul Bernard claimed (falsely) that about 10,000 people had died during the battle; in 2000 Geoffrey Regan's book on military blunders spread this falsehood widely — making the battle notable but for the wrong reason. (I mentioned this in the article but someone deleted that information.) That many of the sources date to the eighteenth or nineteenth century is irrelevant: they're valid sources and they're generally consistent with each other. That the article isn't tidy is grounds for extensive editing or a complete rewrite, not deletion. (I'd be willing to rewrite it if a restriction on subsequent editing were imposed so that someone else couldn't mess up my work.) If you decide to delete this article, then the article on "Salvino D'Armati" should also be deleted — for the same reason. VexorAbVikipædia (talk) 15:03, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Local chocolate company that does not appear to meet WP:NCORP. Capitol File is a local-focus magazine that isn't notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Obviously their own website isn't independent. The Post-Gazette article is local fluff about a milkshake stand, not about the company. On a search, I don't see any substantive coverage at all, certainly nothing outside the Pittsburgh area (necessary for WP:AUD).

- Bellevue Lake (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)
Created by JFox 0931 (talk · contribs), who has a history of questionable article creations about natural features in northern Delaware, then PRODded by user VickKiang (talk · contribs) with rationale:
A questionably significant article without any refs that is an RS that I can find clearly includes original research that is required for the content. The ref provided is questionable and certainly not denoting "significant coverage", merely a database with a trivial mention of two sentences that "Bellevue Lake is near Wilmington. The most popular species caught here are Largemouth bass, Bluegill, and Black crappie. 309 catches are logged on Fishbrain." Indeed, most of the content of this article is original research, which fails a fundamental policy.
Deprodded by a user Djflem (talk · contribs) who thinks it should be redirected to another article, possibly Stoney Creek (Delaware), instead of deleting it outright. Also, the article has poor spelling and capitalization, and unencyclopedic style. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:26, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete I previously nominated this user's articles for deletion, he added both original research and created trivial articles, I posted two messages and a warning, but with no response. I am not experienced at all in AfD, but from what I can see this article is poor both in its content and notability. Sources barely mention the lake at all and is a database, most of the content ("It is a flooded quarry and is very deep in some spots. It is located in a mostly suburban area but is very clean. It is surrounded by Forrest and is one of the last natural places in northern Delaware. Stoney Creek (Delaware River tributary in Delaware) Flows in and out of it providing the water needed to sustain the lake. There are sheer cliffs into it on some sides providing a breathtaking backdrop for the lake. It is a natural asset that the wildlife take advantage of. Unfortunately it is not open to the public and people are restricted of all acces.") is puffery or original research, with numerous spelling errors. It seems that the editor is apparently a local resident who is familiar with the lake and added self-written descriptions, but it should not IMO be on Wikipedia. A merge might also be all right, but the Stoney Creek article is still poor, it had a lot of original research added by the editor on minor, intricate details without refs. For example, consider this paragraph:
- "Stony Creek Flows through mostly forest and winds its way through the rolling hills of Northern Delaware’s Piedmont. Stony Creek’s watershed begins near Forwood Elementary School. It then flows southeast where it meets Allen Tract Park or Forwood Preserve (it can be called either name). A small tributary called Jacksons Creek from this forested park meets Stony Creek Here. Stony Creek then winds its way down Northwood Park and into Carrcroft Crest Park. Another tributary of Stony Creek runs through Carrcroft Park and the neighborhood of Carrcroft until it reaches Stony Creek in Carrcroft Crest Park. Then Stony Creek goes under I-95 and briefly enters Bellellevue State Park. After that Stony Creek flows through a heavily forested piece of private property. On this property it goes over Stenkill Falls and enters Bellevue Lake. Bellevue Lake was a quarry but has now been filled with water. It has beautiful cliffs and is a wonderful natural sanctuary for local wildlife. Soon after the creek exits the lake it joins with another tributary and continues southeast. Stony Creek flows under Philadelphia Pike and re enters Bellevue State Park on the Cauffiel Estate Branch of the park. This section of the Creek is also heavily forested and includes Fox Falls. As Stony creek begins to encroach on the Delaware River is enters a very short section where Stenkil Creeks banks become muddy. Then Stenkil Creek enters the Delaware River through Fox Point."
It seems to be original research that were not backed up by refs, and from my perspective is not of use to most readers, and I removed the info (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stoney_Creek_(Delaware)&oldid=1079397577).

- Something other than delete, probably merge The article isn't that bad, the sources are marginal, information seems verifiable, a simple BEFORE search brings up hits mostly about fishing. The information isn't worth deleting even though whether it's a stand-alone article is a bit marginal (but probably justifiable under our geography guidelines.)

- Comment. In the old days, a rank of general sufficed to make biographies inherently notable, but I think this is gone with the depreciation of WP:SOLDIER? No hits in GScholar/GBooks suggest either an issue with sources (coverage may in Cyrillic), or simply that he is notable. Current references are of low reliability.

- Weak keep I really struggle with this one. The reason why he got coverage wasn't because of his football career. Reliable sources do cover his actual footballing career, but as clear run of the mill coverage either by the club or as a transfer blurb, ie the GNG would not be there if not for the flurry of news coverage. If NFOOTY were still in force we wouldn't assume he had GNG-qualifying coverage. So the question is whether he's notable for the flurry of press coverage he did receive. I'm more comfortable keeping because the coverage of him wasn't because of one specific incident but was spread over years by multiple reliable publications, but can understand both sides here.

The majority of this page's content is exactly duplicated at List of protected areas in Colorado, as content from this article was copied to create the protected areas article without any attribution. The two pages were then apparently edited in parallel in a long series of edits by Buaidh. To resolve the content fork I suggest redirecting the federal lands article to the protected areas article and fixing all of the section hatnotes and redirects that target the duplicated content at the federal lands page. Even though the protected areas page is the duplicate, the state content in the protected areas article is worth keeping, meaning that article is the one that should stay. The only content of the federal lands page not at the proected areas page is already duplicated and redirected to elsewhere (in sections of the Colorado article). A {{copied}} template should be added to the talk page to document where the content originally came from. I can do the cleanup if redirecting is the consensus.

He has a lot of credits to his name, but I couldn't find any sourcing. Statements of membership in Grand Ole Opry are greatly exaggerated; he's just a backing musician and not a member. De-prodded because he played on a Grammy nominated album, but he himself was not the nominee. The sources are all WP:PRIMARY or only mention him very fleetingly.

- Keep or move to draft. My first inclination would be to move to draft to see whether sources can be improved, but I ultimately think that this should be kept. The subject was the guitarist for a Grammy-winning CD, "Songs From The Neighborhood". In other words, not just a nominated album, and not just a backing musician on that project. BD2412 T 17:45, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

You can also find sources in Newspapers.com if you don't just isolate it to the Tenneseean. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:45, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- He is one of literally hundreds of backing musicians who back more notable acts on the opry. That doesn't make him notable in his own right. Also I narrowed it to The Tennesseean because he's a Nashville based musician. That they gave him no ink whatsoever despite his job being in Nashville is quite telling. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:48, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

- Draftify or Redirect. Per WP:NMUSIC, an artist "may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria". Since the artist fails WP:GNG due to passing mentions, and it does not fufill more than one criteria, the topic is non-notable. — Mcguy15 (talk, contribs) 00:54, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete or draftify: TPH makes a strong case for the current article having no proof of notability (which I agree with) and that he made quite the thorough search and came up empty. Unless a list of good sources (and not one-off mentions like that Billboard magazine page above) is found, I'm very unconvinced by the keep arguments (Especially BD2412's; you can't just assume something like that makes a person notable without coverage backing it up). QuietHere (talk) 10:04, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- @QuietHere: I apologize for any confusion resulting from my late change of !vote. I initially voted, as you did, with a preference to send this to draft. I then "changed my !vote from "move to draft" to "keep or move to draft" based on the Dan Daley reference", which as I indicated elsewhere in the discussion contains several paragraphs about Kerry Marx, and not a one-off mention. BD2412 T 15:21, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oh no, that's my mistake. I read over the discussion before responding but forgot about your vote change and made an assumption during a second skim. And indeed there is quite a bit in that book. That alone is not enough to save the article for sure, especially given how close we'd be to violating WP:ONESOURCE, but it is promising that we've even got that much. I'm definitely leaning more toward draftify now, but we're still gonna need more than that before I'm convinced. QuietHere (talk) 18:57, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete since subject fails WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. The sources are simply and clearly not enough to establish independent notability: A Billboard text list mentioning Marx once; articles such as this about some other artist -in this case Kalisa Ewing- that mention Marx once, as a backing musician (ah, the fate of session men!); books in a similar vein, such as Another Song to Sing: The Recorded Repertoire of Johnny Cash and Nashville's Unwritten Rules; and our subject's own website. Since it is evident there's a fair number of contributors keen on improving on the proofs of the subject's notability I'd suggest a generous move to draftify the text and allow it to pass another, future audition. -The Gnome (talk) 13:54, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

- But Simon Reed, mentioned in Lady Lovibond, is an ambiguous term. I have no comment if it provides value per DABMENTION, but your comment is otherwise uninformed. —Bagumba (talk) 02:07, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. This is easy, and I only say that in order not to say "this is insane!" We have a disambiguation page that disambiguates nothing. (Next up, an article about a comet listed as a biography?) Dear colleagues, the sky is blue. -The Gnome (talk) 13:42, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. I don't often use wp:IAR as a justification - but a disambiguation page that doesn't actually link any pages it's disambiguating is simply annoying if I was searching for Simon Reed. Neonchameleon (talk) 16:06, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- There are links, it's just that none on them are on the left side, but on the right side per MOS:DABMENTION. —Bagumba (talk) 09:35, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, disambig page with no actual links. Stifle (talk) 09:26, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. No lynx. In all seriousness, this page is a list of things people might be looking for if they type "Simon Reed" into the search bar. Is that not exactly what the point of a disambiguation page is? This serves both a helpful and encyclopedic function. casualdejekyll 19:02, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- When all is said and done, I would merge this with Simon Read, though. BD2412 T 23:17, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. The entries all link to articles where a Simon Reed is mentioned, but none of them are in-depth coverage at all. As such, I don't view "Simon Reed" as a likely search term for any of the entries. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:04, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Not a single WP:RS in the article. It is riddled with WP:OR and non-WP:RS POV added primarily by multiple blocked socks. One beguns to ask if this 'Hazrat Ishaan' is even a thing. The article itself was made by a user banned for sockpuppetry, which is most likely the same person as the IPs who have recently made loads of edits to the article.
(I accidentally made a 2nd nomination, mb).
EDIT: My bad, there actually are a few WP:RS... which doesn't support the listed information, nor makes a single mention of this 'Hazrat Ishaan'.

- I personally think that this article should not be deleted as it has a very significant and important history.
The Hazrat Ishaans had tremendous influence as Mughal and Afghan Princes and even in presdnt time I have seen videos of family members that are well respected. I can put these sources in.
Concerning the sources, I think that they are actually serious ones. Sure there are some that may require a library journey, but reading about these works like the Maqamat Mahmudiya, they are serious hiatorical sources from the second Hazrat Ishaan Moinuddin Hadi and archived in Indian universities. The work of Damrel is a new Duke university dissertation at Proquest, literally metioning for example the "Az Aabr Khist" scene.
All in all this artivle should not be deleted! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:598:A973:CB14:1:2:18E3:B2C0 (talk) 05:57, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Actually this article must not be deleted, because it has a great significance in historical and in comparison to the Agha Khan to present time. I do not see any problems with the sources. Those availabole actually support what is written in this article. Please do not delete this article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.49.193.91 (talk) 09:16, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Heavily sympathise for HistoryofIran in this regard. This article is rife with original research, personal religious beliefs stated from a first-person point of view, and self-published sources as citations. I am actively working on removing these explicit violations of Wikipedias policy by the creators of this page so that this page meets the standards of Wikipedia. 0xP4R4D0X (talk) 11:01, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- More socks ^^. --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:05, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yes indeed, it seems this article has mostly been edited by socks. 0xP4R4D0X (talk) 11:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you HistoryofIran for your edits to the page and removing the frivolous citations/claims. The page is considerably closer aligned to the Wikipedia policy and is one step closer to meeting the rigorous standards of Wikipedia. 0xP4R4D0X (talk) 11:59, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I am not convinced by the sources that have been added. This should find a short mention at Hazrat Ishaan under a section, "Legacy" (if added with reliable sources supporting the information). ─ The Aafī (talk) 00:15, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This appears to be a neologism. The article went through the Articles for Creation process and was approved for creation in 2017. This coincides with the only use of the term that I've been able to find in the sense used in the article, an event at Chetam's Library in mid-2017 entitled "Biological Hermeneutics at Chetham's Library". Now, I've no problem with the inclusion of the topic in Wikipedia, but the term used here is not a correct one (I'll get to that in a minute), and I do not believe a term has been coined for exactly this discipline. The closest I've been able to track down would be something around (still a new term) biology of the technosphere. There is an equivalent of microbiology of the technosphere→Microbiomes of the built environment; however, the concept included in the article up for deletion here is not restricted to microorganisms. I've not found a corresponding term which would cover macromes of the built environment either, which would include rat infestation in the sewers of New York City, for instance. So, in closing, I'm arguing to delete based on this being a neologism for a discipline that is currently ill defined in the round, but aspects of which have been described and have concept representation in Wikipedia.
Now, I said I'd get back to why the title is the incorrect term. Hermeneutics is first a philosophical discipline, much of which devolves to an information science related to the interpretation of symbols and symbology. In fact, a form of biological hermeneutics is the study of the interpretation of the DNA code, and there are terms like "biohermeneutics" and "biosemiotics" that explore this area; see "The Role of Hermeneutics in Biology", for instance. I think that continued retention of this article title associated with this article content confuses an admittedly transdisciplinary physical science with a domain of philosophy and information science.
Thanks for thinking this through. The reason I landed on this page (and edited it) is that I've been looking for articles that have not been substantively edited in several years, in this case no work being done since its creation in 2017. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:46, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete This appears to be one of the many, many neologisms floating about the academic literature that has had no significant uptake. Indeed, as used in the article, the term appears to apply to a single project, where an artist and a scientist collaborated on
reading and interpreting the microbiological detritus that had gathered on a 300-year-old copy of Ovid's Metamorphoses
[50]. That project was on display at Chetham's Library, as mentioned in the nomination. We could in principle write about such work in an encyclopedic way, but this article isn't it. XOR'easter (talk) 23:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC) - Delete. The text boldly asserts that biological hermeneutics "came into being after the development of the microscope during the seventeenth century", though, of course, no 17th, 18th, or 19th century source offers anything similar to that description. The very term "Hermeneutics", for starters, is a purely 20th-century theoretical offspring. As to the contested article, it constitutes almost entirely personal work, with its creator and main contributor being a kamikaze account. And it's no surprise that the harvest of sources is so wanting: We come across papers about "biological interpretation", such as this; Wikipedia mirrors such as this; works, such as this, about something else, in this case "the author in literary theory", which mention the term but once; art shows that use the term, such as in this notice; a book about "environmental hermeneutics," a field of study, the author writes, that's also called "ecological hermeneutics", "ecohermeneutics," "hermeneutics of landscape" and "biological hermeneutics"; and so on. There is almost nothing upon which one can build an article. The way ahead is probably a redirect to Philosophy of biology, simple and pure (no moving original texts). -The Gnome (talk) 13:31, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
