Near zero independent third-party WP:RSes - article is substantially sourced to self-sources and non-RSes that are not sufficient for a WP:BLP. There are a couple of RSes, but that would make this a WP:BLP1E. No evidence here that this article meeds WP:NJOURNALIST or WP:GNG. A quick WP:BEFORE did not turn up third-party RS coverage that would meet the requirements of the WP:BLP policy. I'd be happy to be shown wrong, but it would need to be shown. PROD removed but without fixing the referencing issue - David Gerard (talk) 23:37, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am the one who deprodded the page and I had added 3 sources including articles from Kronen Zeitung (02/25) & The Times of Israel (08/24). This was clearly not a PRODable article.... MUCH more exists. What single event? His arrest in Heathrow in August 2024? part of the coverage is about it. (a lot) https://www.i24news.tv/fr/actu/international/europe/artc-un-commentateur-politique-britannique-anti-israelien-detenu-a-l-aeroport-de-heathrow https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/-trying-to-make-an-example-out-of-me-british-journalist-fears-uk-using-his-arrest-to-silence-dissent/3314071 etc etc Not all. Other arrests, other events are also covered in a variety of languages and sources: https://www.thecanary.co/trending/2025/02/07/richard-medhurst-austria/ https://brusselssignal.eu/2025/02/austrian-security-agents-raid-home-of-british-activist-over-alleged-hamas-membership/ https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/journalist-richard-medhurst-detained-in-austria-after-police https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-805467 etc, etc. Most of all, all sources (hostile, favourable or neutral) present him as a well-known critic of Israel/defender of the Palestinian cause. -Mushy Yank. 00:00, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Making the global final on its own isn't enough to make the subject notable if he doesn't already have in-depth coverage from multiple independent reliable sources. A google search doesn't yield any coverage of him, though perhaps he is gaining local coverage in China as a result of making a global final in his home country. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 23:52, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The SINA article goes far beyond the subject's participation at the world championships, going in detail about his life since age 11. Subject also has a long history of notable performance before the World Champs this year going back over nine years, as detailed in the article. Subject is at the peak of his career and was only one second off the Chinese record, and I would expect that several more pieces in will be written about him following the 2025 Diamond League season which begins in China this year. Based on his regional medals I think there's definitely more than what I've found – Google is banned in China so I feel like a fool trying to search his name on Google and expecting relevant results, but even given that major caveat I think we've been able to construct a WP:BASIC-compliant article so far. --Habst (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, that article is indeed very good...I can't let the predicting the future slide, though – we have to decide now whether he is notable based on sources that exist now, and the state of the article is irrelevant to his notability. If you have any more sources up your sleeve, though, I'd be happy to take a look. Toadspike [Talk] 15:05, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to closing admin - The article have been improved since nomination. And the sources in the article now establishes notability. BabbaQ (talk) 17:14, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I completely disagree; the current version of the article does not establish notability. None of the citations in the article are significant enough to count towards the GNG. We have one (1) source with significant coverage and it's not included in the article yet, putting us very far from a WP:HEY. Still no-one has been able to explain how a 14th-place finish meets any NATH criterion. And, to my astonishment, not even Cunard was able to find more sources. I am unstriking my delete !vote. Toadspike [Talk] 21:51, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate your comments even when we disagree. If you're referring to the SINA article above, that actually is included in the article now. NATH has always been subordinate to the general notability guideline, which can be met in a variety of ways including by WP:NEXIST. What is the reason we would expect Cunard to have found more sources? --Habst (talk) 12:39, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: at the very worst, the outcome should be draftify which is the preferred outcome when a person who looks somewhat/semi-notable might become even more notable in the next 6 months. That means until 1 October 2025, covering the entire 2025 season in the sport of athletics. Geschichte (talk) 08:41, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify per Geschichte. We are not at GNG yet. GNG requires multiple reliable secondary sources with independent and significant coverage. What was there before did not meet these criteria as discussed. Habst added 3 sources, but two are from the same outlet [5] and thus count as one for GNG (and that is without going into detail of the other criteria for the source, such as whether the coverage is independent), and the other source is very much a passing mention. But the passing mention is of what this Chinese outlet sees as a future hope. Although we don't keep pages that don't meet GNG, Geschichte is right to flag that this one may become notable next season. Incubating the article in draft space is an acceptable WP:ATD.

Does not have enough coverage to meet WP:NSPORT requirements. Darkm777 (talk) 00:29, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People and Sportspeople. Darkm777 (talk) 00:29, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not as clear notability as the others, but she was a world championship medalist and Olympedia includes a photo that looks recent from the Sportarad newspaper, which indicates that they likely covered her. What we have to do is find it. Its also quite likely there'd be further offline coverage, given her accomplishments took place before the internet. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:08, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:NSPORT does not state that Olympic Medal Winners are automatically qualified. Rowing does not have its own policy, but some sports such as Track & Field do and state that "Significant coverage is likely to exist for athletes who compete in the field of athletics if they meet any of the criteria below." One of the criteria is to have Top 8 placement in a major competition, but even then we need to have significant news coverage. Could you point me out to any specific policy that states Olympic medal winners automatically qualify? Darkm777 (talk) 02:18, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Where in my above comment did I say that Olympic Medal Winners are automatically qualified? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:19, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No sports guideline grants automatic notability to anyone, but for what it's worth, Olympic medal winners are mentioned at WP:NOLY. Geschichte (talk) 13:20, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another book by the author Tulasi Acharya, whose own wiki article was recently deleted due to No compelling keep arguments, LLMs, one-edit accounts, highly dodgy sourcing, and some of the most blatant COI promotion I've seen on Wikipedia for a long time. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sex, Gender and Disability in Nepal, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Running from the Dreamland, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swapnabhumi (Nepali novel) for previous discussion of this author's books.

I believe this novel, like the others, fails WP:NBOOK. Full source review in the comments below. Astaire (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Reviewing the sources currently in the article:
    • Source 1: A review with over-the-top praise but little critical analysis: Receiving a degree in English literature was just the beginning for him. Acharya’s appetite for more knowledge only amplified, and he joined Kennesaw State University to pursue an MA in creative writing... I think a novel of this stature must be read all over the world. Highly suspect.
    • Source 2 and Source 3 are links to the publisher's website. Not independent.
    • Source 4: An article by the author himself. Not independent.
    • Source 5 and Source 7 are articles about events the author held to promote the book. They fail WP:NBOOK criterion #1: This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.
    • Source 6 and Source 10: The same review hosted on two different web portals, "OSNepal" and "Arthik Awaj". In both cases, published without a byline. Doesn't seem reliable to me and would only count as one review anyway for the purposes of WP:NBOOK.
    • Source 8: A review on what appears to be a literature blog. Not reliable per WP:SPS.
    • Source 9: A review published in the newspaper República. In the AFD discussion for Running from the Dreamland, one of the reviews of that book was also from República, and the review's author appeared to have a personal connection with the book's author. I would suggest not treating this source as reliable for reviews for that reason.

There's no indication of notability as per WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG. The subject probably passes WP:POLITICIAN as a former member of a legislative body SCCR, but it's good to reach a clearer consensus. Xpander (talk) 18:47, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep, WP:SK3. What is the point of starting an AfD when the nomination statement itself states that the subject probably passes a notability criterion, WP:NPOL? But for the record I think he also has a good case for WP:PROF #C2 (Templeton prize), #C3 (Academy of Sciences of Iran), and #C5 (distinguished professor), so the nomination claim of "no indication of notability" through academic notability is both a WP:VAGUEWAVE and completely erroneous. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:36, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @David Eppstein. As for #C5 I couldn't find any independent sources for the distinction claim. As for #C2 how is "winner of a course program" and a "former judge" notable? As for #C3 it has hundreds of members most of which are not notable. So I don't think it passes WP:PROF as suggested. Xpander (talk) 21:22, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • You're missing the point. Why would you nominate a former member of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution for deletion when you say yourself that it's enough for NPOL? People who are notable need only be notable for one thing; even if you don't believe he is notable as an academic, notability as a politician is enough. For that matter, he's also likely not notable as an athlete (because we have no record of any athletic accomplishments) nor as a musician (likewise); do you think that should be a valid rationale to delete someone notable as a politician? —David Eppstein (talk) 22:03, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      @David Eppstein I certainly respect your points. The issue with SCCR is that it is not a de jure legislative body, and if it is, it is not a common one, i.e. as compared to the US, UK etc. where the only legislature is the Congress/Parliament/Assembly. On their website they mention:

      The duties of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution can be divided into three areas: policymaking, regulation development, and supervision[1].

      So it doesn't say lawmaking specifically, although it is mentioned in their by-law, that in case of needing law-changes they can ask the corresponding body to provide the necessary arrangements:

      Article 32 - If the Supreme Council resolution requires a law, regulation, or resources to be implemented, the matter will be sent to the head of the relevant authority or the highest official of the relevant body for legal procedures to be carried out, in order to provide the necessary arrangements.[2]

      So maybe it could be interpreted as an executive body rather than a legislative one? That's why I said probably. Some editors have rejected the notability claim based on membership of this body. So the rationale was to reach as clear a consensus as possible. Xpander (talk) 07:01, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      The review notes: "Galaxy Xtreme Tuner软件由影驰自主研发,并随该厂的GeForce 9600GT HDMI显卡附送,暂时只适用于该显卡。打开软件的控制面板,大家会发现其界面与其他厂商的显卡超频软件颇为相似,主要提供Shader频率、图形核心频率及显存频率调整功能,前两者还可设置为非同步模式进行调整,而且幅度极大。"

      From Google Translate: "Galaxy Xtreme Tuner software is independently developed by Galaxy and comes with the GeForce 9600GT HDMI graphics card of the factory. It is only applicable to this graphics card for the time being. Open the control panel of the software, you will find that its interface is quite similar to other manufacturers' graphics card overclocking software, mainly providing shader frequency, graphics core frequency and video memory frequency adjustment functions. The first two can also be set to asynchronous mode for adjustment, and the amplitude is very large."

      The article notes: "根据笔者个人所作测试来看,在默认模式中把图形核心和内存频率提高,并把Shader频率设置为与核心频率同步,而风扇供电则保持为“Auto”模式。测试结果发现,预设频率为650/1800MHz的影驰9600GT显卡的最高图形核心超频能力为777MHz,显存则可超频到2266MHz,3DMark06测试得分由11382分提高到11715分,性能增幅为2.9%。"

      From Google Translate: "According to the author's personal test, the graphics core and memory frequencies are increased in the default mode, and the Shader frequency is set to synchronize with the core frequency, while the fan power supply remains in "Auto" mode. The test results show that the maximum graphics core overclocking capability of the Galaxy 9600GT graphics card with a preset frequency of 650/1800MHz is 777MHz, and the video memory can be overclocked to 2266MHz. The 3DMark06 test score increased from 11382 points to 11715 points, and the performance increase was 2.9%."

      The article notes: "影驰9600GT中将版显卡采用了非公版PCB设计,使用了全封闭式电感搭配日本化工固态电容,整体做工扎实,用料非常不错。... 踏入2009年,首先值得我们记忆的就有影驰9600GT中将,这款显卡在08年的12月初就以699元的低价示人,这款显卡拥有强劲的供电配置、相当有个性的散热系统,加上默认高频以及低廉的售价,在09年的市场上就率先火了一把!以笔者的记忆,当时可谓受到众多的DIYer关注,几乎全国都出现有价无货的场面。而影驰9600GT中将在2009年的率先获得成功,除了产品的质量之外,很大程度上也要多得影驰市场运营上的成熟,与对消费者消费独到理解。而笔者认为影驰9600GT中将如果失去了一群出色的市场营销人员,那么它的确会失色不少。"

      From Google Translate: "The GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition graphics card uses a non-public version PCB design, uses a fully enclosed inductor with a Japanese chemical solid capacitor, and has a solid overall workmanship and very good materials. ... Entering 2009, the first thing worth remembering is the GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition. This graphics card was shown at the beginning of December 2008 at a low price of 699 yuan. This graphics card has a strong power supply configuration, a very unique cooling system, a default high frequency and a low price. It was the first to become popular in the market in 2009! As far as I remember, it attracted the attention of many DIYers at that time, and there was a situation of being out of stock almost all over the country. The GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition was the first to succeed in 2009. In addition to the quality of the product, it was also largely due to the maturity of GALAX's market operations and its unique understanding of consumer consumption.

      The review notes: "影驰9600GT中将版采用独特的非公版设计,PCB颜色沿用了影驰出道以来管用的深蓝色。影驰这款中将版Geforce9600GT并没有因为使用非公版而降低产品规格,无论在产品PCB设计还是用料做工上都不亚于公版产品。影驰9600GT中将版采用台积电(TSMC)使用65nm工艺设计的G94-300-A1核心,其拥有5.5亿晶体管和64个流处理器及12个光栅处理器,默认核心、Shader频率分别为公版的650MHz/1625MHz。"

      From Google Translate: "GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition adopts a unique non-public version design, and the PCB color continues to use the dark blue that has been used since GALAX debuted. GALAX's Lieutenant Edition Geforce9600GT has not lowered its product specifications due to the use of a non-public version. Both the product PCB design and the materials and workmanship are no less than the public version. GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition uses the G94-300-A1 core designed by TSMC using a 65nm process. It has 550 million transistors, 64 stream processors and 12 raster processors. The default core and shader frequencies are 650MHz/1625MHz of the public version."

      The review notes: "影驰 9600gso中将版是影驰将官军衔系列中比较热门的一款,采用三星1.2ns gddr3颗粒,容量384mb,实现575╱1600mhz的默认频率。它沿用了影驰8800系列时代起采用的经典非公版pcb,供电设计更加安全。来自酷冷的龙骨风格热管散热器有着比公版更高的散热效率和更低的噪音水平,是这款显卡最大的看点所在。  "

      From Google Translate: "GALAX 9600GSO Lieutenant General Edition is a popular model in the GALAX general rank series. It uses Samsung 1.2NS GDDRR3 particles, 384MB capacity, and achieves a default frequency of 575/1600MHz. It uses the classic non-public version PCB adopted by GALAX 8800 series, and the power supply design is safer. The keel style heat pipe radiator from Cool Cool has higher heat dissipation efficiency and lower noise level than the public version, which is the biggest highlight of this graphics card."

      The article notes: "經歷了屢敗屢戰的艱苦磨礪,林世強博士終於找到事業發展的新契機。2000年,影馳攜手全球電腦顯卡芯片製造龍頭公司NVIDIA,拓展電腦顯卡市場,影馳並且正式成為NVIDIA的核心夥伴。及至2003年,林世強博士正式推出全球市場戰略,他以創新科研為自主品牌的核心,以遊戲玩家為重心推行中高端發展路線,以「專注、多元、創新、重質」為經營理念,目前公司擁有齊全的產品線,除了主要的顯示卡外,還有固態硬碟、記憶體、主機板與鍵盤等,在業內取得良好口碑,每年逾數百萬件顯卡及電腦配件產品,遠銷至世界各地,包括東南亞、歐洲、南美洲、南非等地。"

      From Google Translate: "After experiencing the hardships of repeated failures, Dr. Lin Shiqiang finally found a new opportunity for career development. In 2000, GALAX joined hands with NVIDIA, the world's leading computer graphics card chip manufacturer, to expand the computer graphics card market, and GALAX officially became NVIDIA's core partner. In 2003, Dr. Lin Shiqiang officially launched the global market strategy. He took innovative scientific research as the core of the independent brand, promoted the mid-to-high-end development route with gamers as the focus, and took "focus, diversity, innovation, and quality" as the business philosophy. The company currently has a complete product line. In addition to the main graphics cards, there are also solid-state drives, memory, motherboards and keyboards, etc., and has gained a good reputation in the industry. Every year, more than millions of graphics cards and computer accessories are sold all over the world, including Southeast Asia, Europe, South America, South Africa and other places."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow GALAX (simplified Chinese: 影驰; traditional Chinese: 影馳) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

Not Notable. concerns regarding notability and verifiability, as outlined in Wikipedia's content policies. For a film to be deemed notable, it must receive significant coverage from independent, reliable sources. While Kattumaram has been reviewed by several outlets, the depth and prominence of this coverage are limited. For instance, Asian Movie Pulse provides a review that, although positive, does not constitute the extensive coverage required to establish notability. Similarly, BollySpice.com offers a review, but its reach and influence are not substantial enough to meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Additionally, the film's listing on platforms like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, which include brief synopses and user-generated content, do not serve as independent, reliable sources for establishing notability. Furthermore, the article's reliance on such sources may violate Wikipedia's verifiability policy, which mandates that information be backed by reputable, third-party publications. Without substantial, independent coverage, the article does not meet the criteria set forth in Wikipedia's notability guidelines for films, making it a candidate for deletion.

  • Keep. "For a film to be deemed notable, it must receive significant coverage from independent, reliable sources." Notability is not one-size-fits-all. This is a film and there are thousands of films produced globally that do not get to be reviewed by mainstream media (The New York Times, The Guardian, Variety, etc.). More often than not, the only reviews for a film will be found in niche publications. There are even film blogs and websites that are considered reliable sources because they are recognized within the film industry. Kattumaram was released in film festivals. It was included in Channel 4's annual Indian cinema showcase in 2020. It was a special screening at Wesleyan University in 2021. Six years after its premiere, it continues to be included in academic film events. Frameline is the Frameline Film Festival and a legitimate, reliable source for films with non-heterosexual subjects. The Hindu is a reliable newspaper. The New Indian Express is an edition of The Indian Express, which is a reliable source. Now Toronto (Now) is a reliable Canadian newspaper. The Times of India article is an interview with the filmmaker and from what I saw in it, is acceptable. Pyxis Solitary (yak). 12:29, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I expanded the article to improve its notability per WP:HEY. The Times of India articles source that was added is an interview with an actor not the filmmaker and is a passing mention. DareshMohan (talk) 10:43, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I am not satisfied with frameline source that has been misrepresented as critical review. That leaves only one review by Now Toronto. If anyone can find one more critical review from reliable sources, please let me know. Interviews are not secondary independent source. RangersRus (talk) 15:29, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
When it comes to Asian films, it's not easy to find reviews for them outside of Asia-related newspapers, websites, magazines; unless a film is groundbreaking, or becomes a critics darling, or gets word-of-mouth recommendations, or wins awards. Particularly when they are independent films. That's the reality of non-West films. Kattumaram is reviewed in High on Films, Apt613, and Asian Movie Pulse. (RottenTomatoes does take some of High on Films RT1 and AMP RT2 reviews into consideration). It has been included in a handful of academic papers about Indian cinema.

Article was created by a sockpuppet account named "Novonium", since blocked indefinitely, in 2012.

There is a strong WP:DENY argument to be made alone for deleting this article.

Another non-WP:NOTABLE article part of this "Slicing history into pieces" trend. In that section, I originally proposed to simply redirect this to its main article Ottoman–Iranian War (1821–1823) and move its sourced content over there (another user suggested a merge, same same I guess). However, now taking another look at this article and the war article, I guess a deletion nomination is for the best, since this event is described in mere 2 lines in the "Ottoman invasion of Qajar lands" section, which lacks context. The "Qajar counterattack" section (not event part of this event) is already somewhat described in the war article. And most importantly of all, there is no special event named "Ottoman occupation of southern Iranian lands" in WP:RS, this is a invented name. HistoryofIran (talk) 11:41, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Was a soft delete through AfD last year, recently challenged. The original nom, Thenightaway's rationale was, "There is no independent reliable sourcing about the subject. They do not meet general notability requirements nor notability requirements for academics or government officials. One of many articles spammed by a ring of editors who are singularly focused on promoting the Azerbaijani government/elites." The resurrected article has zero in-depth sourcing, and I cannot see any indication they pass WP:NSCHOLAR. Onel5969 TT me 10:15, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – After reviewing the article and its sources, I do not believe this biography meets Wikipedia’s general notability guideline. While Aladdin Malikov may have academic credentials and publications, the article does not cite any significant coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources that provide in-depth analysis or commentary on his work or impact. Most of the references appear to be primary sources, such as listings of academic roles or publication records, and some are user-generated or non-independent. There’s a noticeable absence of third-party profiles, interviews, or critical reception— which are essential to establish notability under both WP:GNG and WP:PROF. The article also lacks encyclopedic depth. It reads more like a résumé or institutional bio, focusing on positions held and publications, rather than providing sourced, contextual information about influence, recognition, or broader relevance. Unless stronger sources can be provided, I believe deletion is the appropriate outcome.

Fails WP:NSONG, which specifies that album reviews do not demonstrate notability. Not the subject of multiple non-trivial sources. Should be redirected to its album. Zanahary 10:23, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The first October 2024 AfD nomination ended with a general consensus that although the article failed WP:NSONG, it was nonetheless still suitable for inclusion on the basis that it passed WP:GNG. Since that time, it was promoted to GA status without objection as to notability, reflecting general agreement that the article meets WP:GNG. Unless there is a consensus which has emerged since October 2024 that it is incorrect to keep articles which pass WP:GNG but fail WP:NSONG, I do respectfully think this nomination should be WP:SNOW closed, because there is no substantive change in circumstances between now and the first AfD. Also, there is a Variety piece, a Billboard piece, and a Cosmopolitan piece from last week which discusses the meaning of the lyrics and the song being about Lucy Dacus. There's also other articles from Betches and from Glamour Magazine which discusses the meaning of the lyrics in detail from April 2024. When you combine enduring coverage from April 2024 to March 2025, it already passing an AfD nom, and it being in the Top 10 on many national charts, it clearly passes both WP:GNG and WP:NSONG IMHO.

An attempted bold merge of the article was reverted, but rather than start a merge discussion I am starting an AfD instead due to my serious notability concerns. This article would seem to fail WP:GNG as there are no secondary sources that appear to talk specifically about Off-TV Play as a feature as opposed to the Wii U console as a whole or its controllers. Looking at the sources given upon the article's creation, they are all Wii U console reviews and not much seems to have changed. Notability is not inherited; that is a core tenet of notability, so a feature does not become notable solely because the device it is on is notable. Furthermore, with devices like the PlayStation Portal, the feature cannot be said to be unique any longer either. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 05:20, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep If this were just the list of games that supported Off-TV play, it would clearly be reasonable, and would not be appropriate to merge back to Wii U or other articles.

Merge to Wii U Gamepad. This subject is almost entirely tied to its usage in the Gamepad, and is reflected in nearly all of the coverage. The bulk of arguments for keeping do not take into account Wikipedia:NOPAGE, which very strongly applies to this situation given the subject overlap, which would allow for a greater understanding of both subjects if they were to be discussed together.

Notable director (his 75th film) and notable cast, so why are there no reliable reviews? A search in Telugu (or English for that matter) surprisingly yields nothing [28]. No reliable reviews or other reliable sources apart from the single sources already on the article. The old sources that used to be on the article and a WP:BEFORE yielded: [29] [30] [31] [32]. This is not a pre-2010 film, it is a 2016 film, hence it needs more sources.

A classic case of a redirect with possibilities being needlessly disambiguated. Yes, this term is French for English, but WP:DAB explicitly states that a disambiguation page is not a foreign language dictionary. Sure, there are historical ties between English and French, but this could be said for any number of pairs of languages; it doesn't warrant foreign language disambiguation for all of them. Should be a redirect to the only thing known by this name in English, as it was originally. — Anonymous 19:14, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:42, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dclemens1971 unintentionally makes an argument against one of the supposed ambiguities. Checking, it turns out that those books never say "anglais" for crème anglaise and always say "anglaise".

    However: subtract one, add one. "Anglaise" (also "Anglaise tardive") was an old name for the duke cherry, more formally known (after some jumping about the binomials over the years) as Prunus × gondouinii (redlinked at Prunus subg. Cerasus and List of Prunus species). Equally, I cannot find any good quality musical sources that use "anglais", in actual English, for country dance; only "Anglaise" or "Anglois", sometimes italicized, sometimes not. And no-one calls law French "Anglais" or "Anglaise", not least because that would be a complete misnomer. So:

  • The correct course of action seems to be to rename this to anglaise and make it a three-way disambiguation. It is typical of Wikipedia that we have it exactly backwards after 2 decades. Uncle G (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t believe that this page meets the notability criteria for Wikipedia, as the notability is President of the Oxford Union only, and that the majority of such persons do not have an article. This indicates a consensus that being President of the Oxford Union is not itself notable enough to merit a Wikipedia page. Daniel.villar7 (talk) 23:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. The individual is not relevant for an encyclopedia, as his only achievement so far is the Oxford Union presidency. A soft delete is more than obvious. DarkLordOfTheHacks (talk) 23:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's not really a good reading of consensus—topics without coverage on WIkipedia are not presumed non-notable by de facto consensus. He also has more significant achievements than his presidency of the Oxford Union—he was appointed ambassador-at-large for Youth Empowerment by Pakistan's Prime Minister. I think this person meets the notability criteria for the significant positions he's held. Keep. Zanahary 04:56, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do believe that this page meets the notability criteria, the person in question is not only notable for the presidency of the Oxford Union, but as also pointed out, for their appointment as ambassador-at-large for Youth Empowerment by Pakistan's Prime Minister. Furthermore, as Oxford Union President, they were the first ever from Balochistan, which I believe adds to the notability. Keep Aspirant006 (talk) 15:15, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that this could be cleaned up, and I thought that I had found an actual source on the subject, an encyclopaedia article on this very thing — only for my hopes to be dashed when I checked the article author Harold Wood Jr in the author listing of ISBN 9781441122780 and found that xe is the founder of this organization.

The one real claim to sourcing in the prior AFD discussion was that Special:Permalink/153980923#External links means that the article "is referenced". It was not. It is not. The article itself pointed and points solely to the organization's own WWW site and what used to be the personal WWW site of one of its directors. On the organization's own WWW site is an outright copy of the same encyclopaedia article by Wood Jr. This is the only documentation of this organization to be found anywhere, and it all comes back to autobiography. There is no independent sourcing at all.

The nominator and several of the participants in the prior AFD discussion were quite right, but were outvoted by "assuming there's a real source", comments on the nominator, and bizarre comments that seem to be saying that we should keep the pantheism article.

Keep - The fact that the article was created the same day the formation of the ministry was announced isn't very relevant in my opinion as a ministry doesn't need time to become notable, and the existence of the article is good so that new relevant info could be added as soon as they're available.

  • Delete - I also searched for independent significant coverage but was unsuccessful. It does not make sense to merge/redirect it to a list of public art installations because it is not art, it is a series of informational plaques or "markers" with text about each county. That is not the same as public art or public sculpture. Even Washington State doesn't describe it as art, and the Fact Sheet lists the "artist" as "Unknown", so for all we know it could have simply been designed by the sign shop or foundry who cast the plaques. The sourcing consists of one sentence in an Arcadia Press book, (there have been many discussions about the reliability of Arcadia books which are mainly written for tourists); the listing in the Washington State database; and a draft of a proposal for Heritage Park itself, which is a work-for-hire pre-design study between the capitol and two consulting groups.

  • Keep. The intention of NSPORTS2022 was to weed out athletes who are only known for participating in a single Olympics, but that doesn't apply in this instance because the subject went far beyond merely participating, finishing as the top distance runner from his country for multiple global championships over 20-year timespan. In particular he finished runner-up at the Lille Half Marathon (see ARRS, WLH) in a performance that would have merited significant coverage in his country.
I tried to search Djiboutian newspapers like La Nation, but its website is timing out for me and I'm not sure if their archives go back to the 1990s. Keep in mind there was a well-known digitization gap in the 1990s when the subject was most active, before most newspapers began publishing online but after most physical archives end. Another avenue would be French newspapers in the 1990s, given that's where much of his racing history was. Given the amount of results info we have (way more than most Olympians nominated lately), I think the WP:NEXIST case is strong here. --Habst (talk) 18:55, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
particular he finished runner-up at the Lille Half Marathon in a performance that would have merited significant coverage in his country. Where is the evidence of this? It's just a made up claim. LibStar (talk) 09:05, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@LibStar It's not made up at all, it's sourced to WP:V information from Association of Road Racing Statisticians. There's lots of coverage of the Lille Half Marathon online from several countries, see google:Semi-Marathon de Lille Métropole and google:Lille Half Marathon for examples. This is of course not to mention that the subject qualified for two Olympics and competed at nearly a dozen international championships. --Habst (talk) 11:39, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here's a French website reprinting an article from La Nation, which describes (I think) some sort of marathon training course that was taught by "a group of runners led by the great Omar Daher". The nation's press referring to him as "the great" indicates significance – still searching though. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:42, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Sirfurboy Re: La Nation, considering its entire http://www.lanation.dj/ website is completely inaccessible right now, shouldn't that factor into our decision? Per WP:NEXIST, even if the website is down, if further coverage exists there that can be enough to keep an article. --Habst (talk) 13:08, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You are aware you can search it through Google's index and cache? See [51]. Note that "Omar Daher Gadid" returns nothing. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:41, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Because their archives don't extend to when Gadid was active. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The archive will have indexed all searchable content on the La Nation website, and so it obviates the objection that the site is down. If you are saying there may be offline content somewhere, then sure. But it won't be found on the La Nation website. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:38, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sirfurboy, a technical note, Googlebot does not index even close to all of La Nation or any other newspaper's archives (except maybe a few select big names like NYT where Google's web crawler has been specifically trained where to look). There have been several times where I find an article through a newspaper's search box, then google that article title in quotes and get no results. So I really wouldn't trust Google's cache at all when it comes to these issues. --Habst (talk) 19:24, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Googlebot respects robots.txt and a site crawl budget. It also prioritises pages based on content, but unless La Nation specifically restricted the bot, or else did not itself provide links to its own content, it is likely that all pages with significant news content would, in fact, be indexed, which is why some sites still use Google for their own site search using Googles CSE. I see no evidence that La Nation would not allow their pages to be indexed. And, to be clear, the evidence of searches, as described, suggests La Nation has nothing significant on him. And this whole argument that there may be something there that we cannot discover is unhelpful. There is no evidence that sources exist and citing NEXIST appears to be done despite it saying, very clearly, However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface. This page has been here for 9 years without sourcing. Finally, the reason we have SNGs is to create a refutable presumption of notability. That is, if he were to meet NATH, we could argue, as you are doing, that it is likely that sources exist. But he does not meet NATH. That's what the SNG is for. There is no reason to keep this article, which cannot be written encyclopaedically. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:53, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    One can certainly write an encyclopedic article on Gadid, one of the greatest Djiboutian athletes ever. That La Nation's modern records – which do not include anything from when he was active – do not have accessible coverage of him, does not, actually, indicate that there is no coverage of him that exists. As I demonstrated above, there was a report on him reprinted on another website that referred to him as "the great" – if La Nation's archives were complete, we would have found that article on their website, rather than it only reprinted somewhere else. merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive – correct, seldom, not always incorrect. There are instances where someone can be highly notable and have coverage not accessible to us, as I expect is the case here. However, I'm hoping to do a more in-depth search within a few days, hence the relist I requested below. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:59, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You cannot write an encyclopaedic article without secondary sources. If you start writing a synthesis of primary sources, you are not writing an encyclopaedic article, you are doing a history project. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:28, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    One can write a decent article with a combination of a few primary sources and mentions in secondary sources such as La Nation, and one can use common sense to conclude that one of the greatest Djiboutian athletes in history is likely to have offline coverage that would allow an extensive, good article to be written. BeanieFan11 (talk) 13:59, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You misunderstand. If you create a history article of someone's life based on primary sources, then what you have is a secondary source, a history. You have synthesised the sources into an article. That is a perfectly valid thing to do, but it is not an encyclopaedic article. Wkipedia is a tertiary source, by design and by policy. This is the wrong project for such articles. You should be writing a wikibook about the lives of such athletes, perhaps. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:42, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sirfurboy, yea, I still have technical disagreements with what you're writing regardless of what the robots.txt says. For example, many news sites might have a permissive robots.txt but only make their archives accessible via on-site search or in an "archive" paginated system that requires Googlebot to go hundreds or thousands of pages back to find articles, and Googlebot's site crawl budget won't allow it to go to the last page. Some sites do use Google's CSE, but many don't, and I think this problem of unindexed "clear web" pages is more widespread than you are making it out to be. And that's not even accounting for the fact that many news sites require paid subscriptions to view their archives. --Habst (talk) 03:17, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    There is simply no evidence that any secondary sources exist. This is AfD. Find the sources and we can discuss. Save the meta discussion for a policy page. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:30, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I showed evidence above that he's been referred to in La Nation as "the great" (I need to find it again, but I thought I saw another paper saying something like '[so-and-so's] win in this event was the greatest Djiboutian triumph since Omar Gadid'), and based on our inability to find that coverage on the La Nation site itself, that means that the coverage that does exist in Djiboutian news would not be accessible to us, but it still is extremely likely to exist. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:03, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The epithet "the great" does not notability make. We need WP:SIGCOV coverage in independent secondary sources. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:44, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sirfurboy, notability is derived from what reliable secondary sources say about a subject, so if a secondary source is calling him "the great", that actually means a lot. I agree that the substance is more important than the technical question of Google web crawler accessibility, but the two concepts are related if there is unindexed clear-web content about Gadid in addition to physical archives in this case. The NEXIST argument has been persuasive in other AfDs even without sources presented – I think it seldom is, but this is an exceptional case. --Habst (talk) 11:44, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Super 8 T20 Cup was much more selective than the National T20 Cup, had T20 status, and was the precursor of the Pakistan Super League. Pakistani publications regularly covered it while the event was ongoing ([52], [53], [54], [55]), and I'm sure there must be some offline coverage of it in almanacs. Since Wikipedia also functions as an almanac (WP:5P1), we must cover T20 matches as part of our almanac coverage.
The tournament was definitely notable, but I'm not sure about the individual seasons that were not nominated. In any case, the matches held in those seasons shoulde be part of our almanac coverage. You could request a merge and renaming of those seasons so that they resemble maybe in the form of 2011 season in Pakistani cricket, and so on, and add those matches there, but it is not for WP:AFD to decide. Please initiate a WP:RFC on WP:CRIC, so that all members are on the same page and we do not have selective purges due to the lack of WP:AFD participation.

Article on an individual that appears to have might have played a single season of professional lacrosse, though it isn't clear he actually ever played.

  • Weak Keep. This in-depth story in The Philadelphia Inquirer along with this and this from Syracuse.com is probably sufficient for GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:07, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In this particular case, I think those sources are fairly Run-of-the-Mill coverage. Local newspapers also cover high school and college athletes, in every city and town, there are several high schools and colleges and papers that cover them; inevitably, these athletes will receive coverage.
    The Inquirer and the Syracuse.com are both major news outlets, but they also serve as local news, which does make this a little less cut and dry than it otherwise would be. All of these sources, though, are simply profiles of a local high school (in the case of the Inquirer), or collegiate (in the case of the Syracuse.com sources) athlete, without much of a context outside of local interest. A quick perusal of both shows that these sorts of profiles happen daily, sometimes multiple times daily. Using these three sources to establish notability would mean that there are quite literally thousands of similar cases where non-notable high school or collegiate athletes would now meet the notability threshold for an article, just based on coverage in the Inquirer and Syracuse.com.
    Finally, to quote the WP:ATHLETE guideline: The guidelines on this page are intended to reflect the fact that sports figures are likely to meet Wikipedia's basic standards of inclusion if they have achieved success in a major international competition at the highest level. In this case, the subject appears to have only played a single season of professional lacrosse, with almost no coverage of this beyond a stats page. The coverage on his participation in a collegiate championship is limited to a single page commenting on his social media posts. nf utvol (talk) 13:31, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    ROTM is an essay; whether there's "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" is all that matters here. And in this case, he does meet that, with in-depth stories in The Inquirer and Syracuse.com. The significant coverage on the subject does not need to be regarding something that you subjectively deem of greater than "local interest" in order to count as significant coverage. You say that this would allow for "quite literally thousands of similar cases where non-notable high school or collegiate athletes would now meet the notability threshold for an article" – however, the difference here is that the subject also competed professionally at, what I believe is, the highest-level of lacrosse (i.e. he's not just some random local college player like you're making him out to be). Lastly, the ATHLETE "guidelines" are just a garbled mess that few still rely on. Note that NSPORT includes nothing talking about lacrosse, thus even the greatest lacrosse player of all time would still fail it. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:36, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    After doing a little more digging it isn't clear that Kahoe ever actually played a regular season game of professional lacrosse. According to the stats page linked in the article, he was drafted by the Boston Blazers in 2009 but never played a game. Then, according to Lacrosse All Stars (which I'm not sure is a RS anyway), he was drafted by the Florida Launch in 2013, but I can't find anything at all that indicates he ever played a single game with them beyond playing on their practice squad in 2017. This, in my view, means that whatever time he may have spent in MLL/PLL/NLL does not serve to add to his notability. nf utvol (talk) 15:09, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, if he never played in the MLL/PLL/NLL, that makes the case weaker, though he still arguably meets GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:36, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The live performance further constitutes notability because it goes into detail about the setting and the song also charted in six countries, which is a good amount and can help with notability when the previous are all true. --K.

  • Keep there is much notability of the song's origins being discussed in background and the info around inclusion of "Pt 2", as well as Jay-Z's feature and chart positions are obviously not the be-all-end-all yet the song charted in so many countries these obviously have an affect on notability. --K. Peake 07:53, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Notable songs need to be the subject of multiple in-depth independent sources—album reviews do not count. Do you have sources that show this? WP:NSONG is explicit that charting is only a positive indicator that a search for significant coverage will be successful—charting history does not relax coverage standards for song notability.

  • Keep per WP:HEY and WP:NSONG. Good faith nom, but I think NSONG is met. Per nom, the into piece is highly reliable and in-depth, so we just need one more. I looked for more and found an NBC news piece discussing Kelly Clarkson covering the song. The article discusses the cover, which I think is already a sufficient form of substantive coverage (not explicitly forbidden by NSONG). However, it also goes into decent detail about the song itself so as to be substantive: it talks about a new way the song is being adapted in popular culture discusses the story of the song (the cover), discusses the story and themes, references the Into interview, overviews its Chart performance, etc. There's also a recent article in Stellar (magazine) which substantively discusses the song's meaning, because Roan gave the back story behind the song to Alexandra Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast. I've added both these sources into the article. FlipandFlopped 05:15, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
