Reason: In order to make this article more encyclopedic and less a
WP:DICDEF, we should start by changing the title from an adjective to the stock nomenclature that would refer to U4+ by itself. Presumably, the end product will be similar to Iodide (I−), unless U(IV) complexes should be discussed as well, then I would rename it to Uranium(IV) compounds and format it somewhat like Palladium(III) compounds
indiscriminate list that mixes real and fictional organizations ranging from the Ku Klux Klan to SPECTRE. Zero references apart from 2 about the real-life KKK, and a primary-sourced entry regarding The Da Vinci Code
Reason: A single science experiment with no reliable medical sources. It was initially redirected by
WP:COATRACK and non-RS, but was unilaterally restored in December by Ianneman (talk·contribs) on invalid grounds that "[i]n the current climate of research, fully sourced discussion on this subject is impossible". Alexbrn recently did another trim and then PRODded the article, but was deprodded by Custoo (talk·contribs
WP:IINFO. Only references are database entries or news articles about the films, mostly Rotten Tomatoes pages, rather than documentation on gold mining
in popular culture. The two external links are top-10 listicles about mining in general. Oddly, there's no delsort about mining or extractive industries.
Reason: Prodded by an IP user with rationale, "We dont need an incomplete list of cruft about this." That is not a good ratioanle, but the deprod rationale by single-edit account
WP:LISTN
, since coverage seems to be limited to a mass blocking of about 2500 porn websites in January 2017.
Reason: I have come to question the utility of the list, since Minimax evidently does not air any original programming. Also, the vast majority of the list is unsourced. I'm unable to search efficiently for precedent, since the delsort archives are lagging my browser and the AfD archive search is clogged with pages from a mass nomination incident in 2017, but I think we delete programming lists that are merely repackagings of programs on other channels.
Reason: Still an ongoing event. It is likely that it will continue into 2022, so 2019–2022 Ambazonian leadership crisis will likely be the optimal title instead by the time this discussion is finished.
Reason: This is hardly about "infinity plus one", so much as a brief rehash of several existing articles about different kinds of infinity. It would appear that "young people's ideas of infinity", as detailed at [1], is a noteworthy topic, but the sources seem to focus only on infinity in educational contexts or on specific formalisms of infinity such as the surreal numbers.
Reason: There are about 30 entries that are about specific fields or classes of fields, such as Euclidean field and Rational number. Several of the other subcategories in the Category:Ring theory tree use the plural form as well.
Reason: What is an "unregistered public association"? Also, the listed merge target should not be a redirect to Category:Non-profit organizations listed as a Russian foreign agent, especially one that is included in categories; any organizations that aren't nonprofits could go here.
WP:2DABS. It is in fact possible that the latter topic is not independently notable from Mario Scaramella
, since none of the current sources are suitable for proving notability, but that will need to be discussed at its own AfD.Oddly enough, this dab page was created in 2006 with the algorithm and one never-created redlink, and for several years had an unliked, probably promotional entry as well. Only earlier today did I remove the two bad entries.
WP:DRAFTIFY seems to suggest that we would have to go through AfD to draftify an "old" page? Felix QW (talk) 08:31, 11 January 2022 (UTC)::::::Wait for the PROD to run out. If it's soft deleted, I can ask to draftify it, if it's deprodded, I can list it at AfD. — Charles Stewart(talk) 09:45, 11 January 2022 (UTC):::::::De-Prodded by Jim Grisham already. Would you like to list it at AfD then? Felix QW (talk) 11:13, 11 January 2022 (UTC):::::::*OK, I'll start one before long. It occurs to me that redirecting to Mathematical analysis#Other topics is simpler than draftifying. It's worthy of discussion. — Charles Stewart(talk)
Reason: Entirely weakly-sourced plot summary with no attempt whatsoever to establish real-world notability. I see evidence that there may be academic analysis of the setting, but that would require a rewrite almost from scratch. How would I judge this from Google Scholar results?
Reason: Rather misleading since the target is not necessarily a transcription of aleph in a Semitic script, and especially since it makes it harder to describe aleph numbers in mathematics.
Reason: Unreferenced microstub since 2015, with the only claim of significance being that it is the largest hotel chain in Cambodia. I'm not sure how to discern notability for this topic area, but the search results I've found in English aren't promising. There may be sources in the Khmer language, but no Khmer-language name or kmwiki article is given which could be searched.
Reason: Huge wall of over 5,600 articles, 439 categories, and 5 navboxes, out of around 15,000 in Category:Telangana, is useless for navigation and burdensome to edit on some systems. Some entries are anachronistic or misplaced, since the state was separated from Andhra Pradesh in 2014.
Reason: Deprodded in an attempt to complete the list. This index is more narrow in scope than other country indices, focusing only on the core topics such as major cities, but Outline of Uzbekistan already serves that purpose. There are nearly 40,000 articles in the Category:Uzbekistan tree.
Reason: Not mentioned at target; only use on enwiki is an undefined term at Bootstrap error-adjusted single-sample technique. Most search results are about commercial products not mentioned anywhere on enwiki.
Reason: We don't need both this image and File:MarioKart8Boxart.jpg on the same article (Mario Kart 8) to represent two editions of the same game that are both covered in the article. Aside from that, this image is oversized and, if kept instead of the cover for the original MK8, should be reduced to no wider than 257 pixels.
Reason: 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.

Reason: Although the article primarily discusses United States, the topic is not inherently geo-specific and therefore should use standard
Reason: PRODded by the IP user 159.253.109.209(talk·contribs·WHOIS) with rationale: Seems to be based on the work of one research group published in low-quality journals, most of the article describes only elementary physics. The author Samsiq (talk·contribs) deprodded the article without adequately addressing the concerns — the new section consists only of background information about van der Waals forces and a description of two images with no clear relation to the section's topic; and contrary to the deprodder's assertion, "elementary physics" as defined by the IP includes basic quantum mechanics. All references are from O. P. Kucherov et al. or are irrelevant to the ostensible topic.
Reason: Abandoned,essentially content-free userspace draft that duplicates the topic of 2017 Northern India riots. It was created by a user who has not edited since February 2018, and most of whose other contributions were creating hoaxes.
talk ·contribs) because the PRODder nominated too many articles in quick succession — 200, according to his count. But I have to agree with Hammer here — there are zero results about this TV show in Google News
Reason: Short-lived TV series that never got much attention. Only source is primary, and Google News returned only a couple of passing mentions. One of 146 articles deprodded by NemesisAT due to concerns about mass-prodding.
Reason: G4 TV show that lasted just under a year and returned zero hits in GNews. One of 146 articles deprodded by NemesisAT out of concern of rapid-fire nomination.
Reason: This is a difficult title to search, but there seem to be no obvious, relevant GNews results, and considering its very short run (<2 months) I'm convinced that it likely fails
WP:GNG. Only source is a book which I cannot check. This is a 1998 TV series that aired on The WB; it has no relation to the 2012 CBS show also titled 3

, along with various other extremely low-quality articles. Tagged as unsourced since 2017, but it has never had any real sourcing since the creation in 2006.
Reason: Article is 100% overly-detailed plot summary and casting history, GNews entries are mostly tabloid-like material and recaps. Most references are primary or about the actress,
Reason: This list has over 5,000 entries, and despite being formatted as a plain list, is so long that I have trouble editing it. It is redundant to List of years in American television, has few references to verify claimed debut dates, and the 2020s section has not been adequately updated to include all notable new programs. No other country has an equivalent list.
Reason: Although the channel has a near-worldwide broadcast area, Global is not a standard disambiguator for TV channels and networks, and is miscapitalized.
Reason: Contains only the main article and two subcategories which are incorrectly included — nuclear fission and nuclear fusion do not involve the weak interaction.
WP:GNG; the closest I could find to an encyclopedic RS is [3], which is a dictionary entry.MarcZ (talk·contribs) suggested in June 2009 that this page be merged to Spin-up
because there are few links and it is only a feature of spin-up, but that article is also nominated for deletion.
Reason: PRODded with notability concerns, but it had already been prodded in 2010 over unclear concerns about original research that likely regarded content that is no longer in the article. Only current source is IMDB, Allmovie has no reviews (Part 1, Part 2), and the miniseries is not even on Rotten Tomatoes.
Reason: Search engine results suggest that this is more commonly known without the initial definite article. The redirect currently at the move target is to an article which does not mention something by that name.
would be a valid disambiguation page that would include only Vacuum permittivity and Epsilon numbers (mathematics). If deleted or moved, Epsilon numbers (mathematics) will be moved to the base title.
, but not of cosmic entities. The associated list, which is also included in this AfD, seems to be more coherent than its DC counterpart, but is based solely on primary sources.
Reason: Why do males get a distinct category while females do not? Either way, this category should ideally include about half of all articles about individual horses, unless our notorious gender bias also affects our coverage on individual non-human animals.
WP:LISTN — except that unlike the embedded list at the main article, it includes additional characters who are not significant enough for inclusion in the more general lists of DC Comics characters. I'm not sure that the definition stated in the lead is the same as in the other list, and I can once again make the examples of Bat-Mite and Starro
I gave in the other AfD. At the talk page, there's a discussion with similar concerns from 2005–2006 that I wish to embed here.During the last AfD in 2020, users argued for trimming the non-notable entries, despite that the trimmed article would be exactly the same as the embedded list at the main article. The contents haven't changed one bit since then.
). In light of this, the quality of the references, the tendency to attract unsourced entries, and the removal of sourced entries that editors disagree with, are unsurprising.
Reason: Non-free image that doesn't really add anything to the text, and is also low quality. It is already clear from the text that a curium-248 target was used in the initial discovery of livermorium, and nothing that would need an image to be represented.
Reason: We at FTN recently analyzed the article, which is somewhat unfocused and used mainly pro-fringe sources for medical content, and concluded that the rest should be deleted. The remaining sources are all
WP:PROFRINGE, and some of them are not about hydrogen
administered in aqueous solution, but rather on purported therapeutic uses of hydrogen in general.
Reason: Undid a presumptive bad-faith PROD nomination by LTA, per Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Software_projects_crosswiki_LTA, but I have reason to believe that this is genuinely non-notable. This purportedly obsolete software has no non-primary sources, and includes a line about an unrelated project with the same name.
Reason: This is not the only or main timeline template; there are several other generic templates for different kinds of timeline for use in different context, such as
Reason: I'm not sure that this member of Silence 4 is independently notable. This BLP has no references, and the external link (supposedly an announcement of Costa leaving the band) is dead. I have already corrected the title from an unnecessarily fine band-based disambiguation, since the other Rui Costas are not musicians.
for this topic. Almost all entries are simply a name and a profession. They have all been tagged for expansion since 2008 and safe to say that expansion isn't coming.
guideline: For groups of compounds named after a simple parent compound, articles about the group should be located at the plural of the parent compound name[.]
Reason: Was suspected to be a hoax by Nythar (talk·contribs), but they removed their own {{db-hoax}} tag without further comment. The draft is unsourced and with vague timeframe, and I found zero search engine results that mention something called Hamek in relation to Najmadin Shukr Rauf.
Reason: Search engine results for Magonia point to the mythological place, or to various other works which do not have Wikipedia articles, particualrly the novel by Maria Dahvana Headley. This page receives the vast majority of the pageviews compared to the genus Magonia (plant). The disambiguation page at the base title should not be deleted, since the Headley book is a valid entry as well.
Reason: I can't find any significant usage related to this person, other than as an insult. Probably why the entry .*corn[- ]?hole (titles ending with cornhole) is on the title blacklist.
Reason: While I have not checked whether there are any other nitrates of zirconium, zirconium also has several lower oxidation states, and most other inorganic zirconium(IV) compounds have the oxidation state in the title.
Reason: During Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shep Unplugged, the nominator repeatedly rebutted comments by other users because none of the sources provided are simultaneously reliable and support the name of the talk show. I was likewise unable to confirm this title.
Reason: I can verify that this channel exists, but I don't see much evidence that it is notable. Google News turns up empty, and ProQuest results are primarily announcements such as [4], which are sometimes linked to the channel Living Foodz (now Zee Zest).
Reason: Can't find any significant connection between this title and its target, even when specifying that results also mention Elvis. Target section removed in September 2021 due to apparent lack of notability. Still mentioned at Amanda Lear discography.
Reason: Previous AfD was speedy closed due to an unclear rationale, an outcome endorsed at DRV with no prejudice for a renomination or merger discussion.I'm not sure from
WP:BEFORE that this topic is notable enough even for a merger. Most results are mirrors of Wikipedia, primary, or non-RS, except for Encyclopedia Britannica
Reason: I can't find anything called Yesso in direct connection to the Ainu — search indicates it is a historical name for Hokkaido, among various other uses. Should I retarget to that page, or disambiguate between Hokkaido and Diego Yesso?
Reason: Prodded twice, both times because it is wholly redundant to
WP:SYNTH, and Ref. 6 is another Wikipedia article (Zaum) that uses the term, but almost certainly in a different meaning than this article. Not sure about Ref. 3, which is a book about dreams by Vine Deloria Jr., but I suspect that it is also profringe because he also wrote Red Earth, White Lies
Reason: Poorly written article that was PRODded and then redirected, but the title is not a plausible redirect. I don't think there is any content worth merging to Laterite or Borneo.
Reason: Cannot find evidence that this person meets
WP:GNG, or that the honors and awards (CNN Heroes, Obama Foundation Fellow) are significant. The closest I found was [5], which is written like a press release. Only sources are their organization, New Earth, and the award providers. I have not attempted to determine notability of New Earth. Created by a paid SPA Leesada (talk·contribs) with unsourced and promotional content, which has since been removed, and a different SPA Izziyait (talk·contribs
) later attempted to add more unsourced content that closely matches that which was removed.
Reason: Mass-created by Passportguy (talk·contribs) in 2009 based on an unreliable database https://tageo.com. There is something at the specified coordinates, but the fact that this was not overwritten or redirected by Carlossuarez46 (talk·contribs) when he mass-created Iranian village stubs is suspect. Search engine results for fa:آق بلاغ خالد returned only mirrors of the Farsi translation of this article.
East Azerbaijan Province, and the fact that this was not overwritten or redirected by Carlossuarez46 (talk·contribs) when he mass-created Iranian village stubs is suspect. Neither of the Yusefabad
stubs created by Carlossuarez46 matches this place.

Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, but there is something at the provided coordinates that could be a village.
Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, and there is no community at the given coordinates. PRODded, but quickly deprodded because I added the wrong rationale.
Reason: Excessively vague redirect created by a user with several problematic redirects. However, this one does not appear to be derived from the GPT2 reddit.
Reason: One of several 1-page subcategories of the listed merge target; I will bulk nominate all of them if this one closes as merge. Should also be merged to Category:Bengali-language newspapers.
Reason: Yet another StrexcorpEmployee (talk·contribs) redirect based on a post in the GPT2 subreddit. Can't find any evidence from plain search that this spelling was ever used in English, but the ProQuest results are a bit less clear and may be about a different, French-language newspaper not covered in enwiki.
Reason: Mass-created article by User:Carlossuarez46 based on unreliable databases; alternative name "Chah-e Amiq Shomareh-ye Do Zurzamand" of this putative village is of a well. Apparently deprodded by the prodder for no apparent reason.
Reason: The image on the article that supposedly represents the article subject. Mass-created article by User:Carlossuarez46 based on unreliable databases; name of this putative village is of a well. However, as there is nontrivial content in the article, an image which is purportedly a photograph of the village, I am instead going the route of AfD. However, I cannot verify the provided English or Farsi name (چاه بردي) in a search engine.
Reason: Previously deleted by PROD because it has the name of a well (چه, or chah, means well in Persian). The new source in this version by a different user does not help us, as it is a database search for the 2015 Iranian census, and this place name failed
Reason: This page was nominated for PROD by Let'srun (talk·contribs) using an incorrect procedure, and then deprodded without comment by Snickers2686 (talk·contribs). The rationale was:
Reason: Because the Carlos Hank González at the base title was also a Mexican businessman, we cannot disambiguate by country or by occupation. If the other page is moved from the base title, it would then go to Carlos Hank González (born 1927).
WP:PTM case is a bit trickier. Several of the Carlossuarez46 place name dabs include two nearby place names differing only in the adjectives olya (عليا) and sofla (سفلي), which respectively mean upper and lower in Arabic; in this case, Abdol Khakhi-ye Olya and Abdol Khakhi-ye Sofla in Salas-e Babajani County
Reason: Person who is notable only due to a scientifically unverified rumor that he can survive without sleep. Deprodded in 2010 by a sock of
arb·rfc·lta·SPI·cuwiki), but then PROD restored this week by Drmies (talk·contribs) on the argument that the deprod was bad faith; the original rationale was:
This is a rumour, and as far as I can tell there are no credible sources - this claim is based on interviews with Thai Ngoc by two minor Vietnamese media outlets, and has not been scientifically verified. Thai Ngoc is not notable for any other reason. Therefore, I propose that this article be deleted unless a sufficiently believable source can be cited. — User:121.73.78.69

18:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Reason: Mass-created article by User:Carlossuarez46 based on unreliable databases; name of this putative village is of a well. Incorrectly deprodded, since the prior AfD was for a disambiguation page with 1 entry.
Reason: Unused with no forseeable use; the image is an original representation of a setting in
Binary stars in fiction, along with several other similarly unencyclopedic images, before that page was cleared and redirected by TompaDompa (talk·contribs
WP:GNG, and tagged for notability since 2011 — the only usage in Google Scholar are Tschegg (2009) and a passing mention in another article which references Tschegg; the other reference does not mention this topic. Was redirected (inappropriately) in 2009 to Espresso by Materialscientist (talk·contribs
Reason: Latinized redirect of the stylization "My Big Fat GRΣΣK Wedding". There is no equivalent redirect containing the capital sigma —
GRΣΣK mentioned below is the only one of its kind on Wikipedia — and this redirect mixes sentence case and title case in a way that the film does not. Only 1 pageview in the last 90 days
Reason: I find it odd that we have a 2-page category for two buildings of a particular kind, both in Indonesia, that were not destroyed in a tsunami. We don't even have any categories for buildings that were destroyed by tsunamis.
Reason: It is necessary to rename it to match the main article, Birdwatching. However, it is unclear which term should be used in Wikipedia articles; the annual subcat is Category:Birding and ornithology by year, while Category:Birdwatching sites. I have not ruled out if it is the main article which should be renamed, or if I should bundle this with the entire tree to enforce consistency.
Reason: Not mentioned at target. Previous content was a poorly written duplicate article that included copyvios and spam. Only other creation by the creator Heavyequipment4u (talk·contribs) was a promotional userpage.
Reason: The color is no longer mentioned at the target, but instead at Shades_of_green#Honeydew.

Reason: There is disagreement on the proper disambiguation to distinguish this person from
National Capital Territory of Delhi in state and federal offices. He is currently a member of the Aam Aadmi Party, but previously served in Samajwadi Party. He was born in 1972.* Sanjaya Sinh has represented Uttar Pradesh in state and federal offices, and is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He was born in 1951.* Sanjay Singh (Haryana politician) serves in a Haryana
state-level office, and is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. We do not have a precise birth year for this person.
Reason: Too narrow for the target article, which is only about gas giants. For example, helium planets are described in their article as appearing white or gray.
Reason: Except for 2 pages in the California subcat and 1 in the Massachusetts subcat, all of these categories contain only subcats for disc golf courses. Most of those are themselves
Reason: This one is difficult. We need to use the plural to reflect its perimarily set-category contents, but a disambiguator matching the main article Contact binary (small Solar System body) is unwieldy for plural form. (Contact binary is about a type of binary star.)
Reason: Not discussed at the target dab page, and different from benzodiazepine.<gallery>{{pb}}Clozapine.svg|A dibenzodiazepine ([[clozapine]]){{pb}}Chlordiazepoxide structure.svg|A benzodiazepine ([[chlordiazepoxide]]){{pb}}</gallery>
Reason: Standardize fictional element disambiguation, even in the absence of other characters with the name. I would have done this unilaterally, but that conflicted with an existing redirect.
Reason: At their user talk page, creator Khalsa Mishima (talk·contribs) claimed that they were personally told by A.S. Khalsa that he has changed his legal name. I was unable to verify this, finding zero results for this name or "Shardul Singh" in connection to his organization Waris Panjab De.
WP:LASTING because there is no in-depth coverage beyond the week of the incident. Kent G. Budge (talk·contribs) was unable to find anything except for a paper that briefly describes three different news reports on unexplained meteorite incidents in loose relation to a strangelet
Reason: Overly broad redirect from a merge, as the target is specific to Christianity and does not discuss other religions; there is probably also a missing broad-concept article similar to the stub
WP:GNG; search results are a mixture of the non-RS typical of fictional elements, and unrelated things with the same name. Content is almost completely unsourced, including purported real-world background about the name. Can possibly be redirected to Highlander: The Series
Reason: I cleared out an article here that was a duplicate of Solanki (clan), but I am not sure is this should instead redirect to the surname Solanki. There are notable people with the name, but they are currently not listed at that SIA.
Reason: Is the surname more noteworthy than the Solanki (clan)? I found a duplicate article of the clan at Solangi and redirected to the clan, but I am not sure if that page should instead redirect here. Although this list currently includes only the surname, there are notable people with the given name Solanki as well (e.g. Solanki Roy), which would be included in the same article.
