The result was delete and redirect to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Given the paucity of sources and the doubt whether grandiose claims (such as 1 M students) are true, there doesn't appear to be much content worth merging, so I am deleting the article before redirecting it.

A non-notable school in India with not a single reference coming outside of the school's website, a site that mentions the school in passing, or a promotional article. Nothing really about the notability of the school. The article alleges that

  • Weak delete per nom. Counterpoints:
- Coverage I can find is a teacher accused (arrested) for sexual harassment charges 1 2 3 4 5. Still, that probably belongs on

more than here.
- Book mentions in 'Cultural Enrichment of Indian Education', ISBNs 9788173411779, 8173411778, and in 'ideal india', ISBNs 9789080600515, 9080600512. They appear to only be mentions, and it's hard to untangle some of the organization of the schools.
- At least a paragraph in 'Transcendental Meditation: The Essential Teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi', originally published 1973(?), ISBNs 9781401931575, 140193157X, has at least a few paragraphs on the schools with cites or footnotes. It says 80k students, 120 cities, in 150 schools. (the Wiki article says a million students, no cite)

  • Comment: I am not sure what the ruling is re: schools since they aren't presumed notable any more, but it seems that a school system that has over 1M students should be notable? Do we need proof of that or does size not matter at all in these situations? FiddleheadLady (talk) 15:28, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The number of students doesn't mean it's notable. Harvard University has less than a million but is more notable. So the student population doesn't apply. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:45, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or redirect to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as an ATD. I'm fine with either, but this doesn't have enough coverage in reliable sources to be notable on it's own. I think mentioning it in the article for Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is worth doing though. The article already has a bunch of random bits in it about schools he is associated with and it would improve things if they were combined into their own section or something. Which the content in this article worth saving can be added to. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:26, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete References appear somewhat scattershot, good points made above regarding either transcluding content in other articles that is relevant elsewhere. I am also fine with a merge or redirect , probably to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi would be most appropriate. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 13:40, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Second-hand coverage here is marginal at best. Wikipedia is not an almanac of everything that has ever existed, and "notability is not transitive" does not mean that an article which survives a single deletion nomination is immune to future ones. @7&6=thirteen: needs better arguments. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 22:17, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Unix/Linux language-support projects are notable. Adequate press coverage is listed at [1], the fact that this coverage hasn't yet been integrated as article sources doesn't magically render the subject non-notable. Skyerise (talk) 23:11, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete I looked through the sources in the link provided by the last keep voter. They are all either primary, extremely trivial, not even about Arabeyes, or are otherwise unusable as a way to establish notability. That's the problem with assuming things are notable based on news aggregator hits and article titles. Usually the references are trash. I urge voters to read through what's available and to share specific sources that they think meet the notability guidelines. Instead of wasting people's time linking to unusable trash like the last voter did. --Adamant1 (talk) 00:15, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:THREE: Arabian Computer News 2002, Gulf News 2003, ITP 2004, Cover story in IT-republic 2004, and Al-Riyadh 2005, for example, all of which come from the (ahem) "unusable trash" already linked above. Levivich 21:07, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    @Levivich: The only reference out of those that is usable is the first one. The others are interviews, about OpenOffice (which I'm pretty sure this isn't), and a self published PR piece. So, aside from the first references, the others are clearly trash. Or are you seriously going to argue those are quality, notability providing references? --Adamant1 (talk) 02:04, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Your description of these sources is not accurate. Levivich 13:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    The second article literally says "interview" at the top of it and if you look at the 5th page of Cover story in IT-republic 2004 article the first sentence says "copyright 2002, Arabeyes Project Etc. etc." So I'd love to know what's not accurate about describing those sources as an interview and a self published PR piece. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:32, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    That would still leave three. This argumentation you're doing right here is why you're going to end up tbanned from deletion. This is not a debate club. If you don't think the sources people put forward meet GNG, then say why, and then shut up. Skip calling them "trash", skip replying with things like "are you seriously going to argue", and skip cherrypicking two out of five as if that proves something. Levivich 06:47, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Chill out and AGF. I was just trying to understand what was wrong about my description so I can better describe things next time. I don't want to call a source a self published PR piece if that's not what it is. Next time I won't ask you how something that says "interview" at the top of it isn't an interview. I'll trying not to call bad references trash if you it triggers you that much either. OK? I agree that this shouldn't necessarily be a debate and I don't want anyone's hurt feelings over the words I use to describe their non-notable references to turn it into one. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:10, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Which sources do you believe establish notability for Arabeyes please? MrsSnoozyTurtle 11:04, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The two posting above me agree that at least one of the sources counts. In the previous AFD articles at https://www.linux.com/?s=Arabeyes were mentioned. https://www.linux.com/news/arabeyesorg-named-best-freeopen-project/ and the rest are enough to convince me.

  • Keep: The article subject looked like a notable to me when I first seen it on the delsort list a few days ago. Handing some of languages with less straightforward character sets were a nightmare twenty years ago but unicode, google translate, improved OS support have made things relatively seemless. I stayed away as it was going to require work to save, and it has been with better sources and is a worthy keep. Thankyou to those who have improved the article and identified additional sources.

  • Weak keep There's been some improvements to the article since it was nominated. Although some of it is of extremely questionable quality, when combined with the 1 or 2 references that are usable I'm willing to go with a weak keep "vote."

Kholmat Odilov

Kholmat Odilov (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I don't know where to begin here. Someone (signing with the wrong username, weirdly) left a message on my talk page, informing me someone tagged it for speedy deletion. I took a look at the page history and it appears to me that for some reason, multiple new accounts (I don't know if they're SPs or have a COI) are all deleting and re-adding the bio speedy tag. I am not sure what's going on here. Anyhow, this article is quite poorly-written and the vast majority of its references are from user-generated pages such as Genius and YouTube, as well as Amazon and Spotify. Searching "Kholmat Odilov" in Google and going to news shows absolutely zero results, and everything else is just primary sources and sites like Soundcloud. This singer probably just isn't notable. This whole article has way too many issues and a huge cleanup is needed if it's going to be kept. Waddles 🗩 🖉 21:50, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. In fact I think it would qualify for speedy deletion, but it's probably better to let this discussion run its course. An unambiguous attempt to promote a completely unnotable person. I made searches on three search facilities (Google, Duckduckgo, and Privacy Wall) and in the case of Google both on a computer and on a phone, which, as is often the case, gave distinctly different results. I searched for this person using both his Russian name and the English transcription of it. There were hits which were not about this person at all, and various other hits which were totally irrelevant, such as a site which gave statistics about search terms, and a site which merely listed results of searches on Wikipedia related to Seasonal Affective Disorder. (It seems that page came up in my searches because Kholmat Odilov's pseudonym "Sád Pérson" got confused with the acronym SAD for Seasonal Affective Disorder.) Ignoring all those, and considering just hits actually about this person, I found articles about him on nine Wikipedias (English, Italian, Uzbek, Tatar, French, Azeri aka Azerbaijani, Afrikaans, Dutch, and Spanish), Wikipedia mirrors, a couple of download sites, a couple of dead links, and nothing better than that. As I said above, a completely unnotable person. JBW (talk) 09:23, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • yes, just now I have added sources from Independent Administrative sources that cannot be edited in any way, my friend, learn to search more carefully, of course, while in the USA, you cannot find anything about this person, but look at the rest of the sources on Wikipedia, I think you will understand everything;)))--80.72.119.252 (talk) 09:42, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, I have no idea why you think I am in the USA. However, the essential point of your message seems to be that I considered only what I had found on searching, not what is cited in the article. I was assuming that the references in the article were already covered by WaddlesJP13's statement that "the vast majority of its references are from user-generated pages such as Genius and YouTube, as well as Amazon and Spotify”, and that I didn’t need to repeat that. However, since you have raised the matter, I will answer that point.
This is a classic case of
WP:BOMBARD
, i.e. the mistaken notion that notability of a subject can be established by posting dozens of references to numerous sources, without regard to the quality of those sources. At present there are 52 references in the article. I have taken a random sample of a quarter of them, and they are as follows.
(1) A dead link, (2) A listing of the participants in a concert and competition. Odilov is listed as one of a huge number of participants. He appears in the category "Solo singing 12-15 years". (3) Dutch Wikipedia. (4) Spotify. (5) Another competition, in which Odilov is again listed among many other participants. This time he received a few certificates for his performances, but did not win any event. (6) Another dead link. (7) A download site. (8) A link to a search on www.google.ru for "Kholmat Odilov Musician” (Which, incidentally, gave a total of 6 hits, including one to this English Wikipedia article and one to a redirect to it. None of the other four hits were any better as sources.) (8) Another dead link. (9) Another dead link. (10) Ukrainian Wikipedia. (11) Another download page. (12) A report on a sports competition among schools. Odilov gets one very brief single sentence mention. (13) Yet another dead link.
I have also briefly glanced at others outside that random sample, and saw nothing better.
Not a single one of those does anything whatever to suggest notability in the terms of Wikipedia’s notability guidelines. Not 52 references of that quality nor 252 of them can demonstrate that the subject satisfies the notability guidelines. If you can point to even one reference which is better than all those, I shall be willing to reconsider the matter, but at present I have seen nothing whatever to even vaguely suggest notability in Wikipedia’s terms.

This list is not encyclopedic. The number of books on Buddhism is extremely large; this list is extremely short. This makes it look like these are Wikipedia book recommendations. We have list(s) of books related to Buddhism on every article on Buddhism. They are called References and Further reading and thus they are topical.

  1. I wrote a far-too-long comment on the Page's Talk page, but one of my core concerns was that this list has, over the years, drawn extraordinarily little engagement. My comment was the first in eight years on the Talk page. For much of the list's many years in existence it only had two or three items. People often respond to proposals to delete with suggestions for how a page could be made better, but I think that the history since the last deletion proposal suggests that there's very little reason to think that this page will get better. Not one of the people who supported keeping the page when it was listed for deletion eight years ago subsequently added to the list or maintained it in any way. It's not going to get better, because:
  2. Aside from the various MoS reasons that this is a problematic page as currently constructed, I think that one of the key principles that we should be thinking about for any page in Wikipedia is how readers might find it or use it. I can't think of a useful purpose for a page like this other than for a reader who wanted to find books that gave them very basic info on Buddhism. But a better place for that would be—as the nominator suggested—by the further references list on Buddhism. If there were many lists of Buddhist books of different kinds (List of Theravada ethics manuals, List of textbooks on Abhidhamma, List of books on Tibetan Buddhist history…) then this would be a good spot for a list of lists, but that's not the situation we have.

Not enough independent reliable sources mention Vitamin A5, it is almost unheard of apart from the same group of researchers who have published on it. On the article are 10 references, of these 10 the author Rühl R appears in 9. This is some kind of conflict of interest.

Usually, when you see a newspaper only indexed weekly, it only published weekly. I've run across papers that only published on Thursday, for instance. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:23, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: So, Sammi Brie a sidebar: Yes, some publications publish only weekly, but the History of Avalanch-Journal indicates in 1922 the Lubbock Avalanche began publishing "daily (except Mondays)". Following a 1926 sale it merged with its rival, the Daily Journal to become the Avalanche-Journal. That publication '"flourished even during the Great Depression". I suspect, though, that newspapers.com probably had an incomplete set of Avalanche-Journal newsprint to index, as February 1934 has only one Sunday indexed, and 1935 is missing April and December entirely. Before we had online services, libraries subscribed to periodicals and routinely sent them for binding, most periodicals once yearly, but for newsprint the binding schedule was usually once monthly. When microfilm, microfiche, and online technologies became available, the archives of newsprint were the sources for these new technologies, which had better indexing, took less storage space, and were less susceptible to damage and pilferage. But if those newsprint sources were incomplete, the online versions derived from them are necessarily incomplete. That's what appears to have happened with several years of the Avalanche-Journal. So rather than implying a choice by newspapers.com to index only monthly, I should have said it was likely a case of indexing the available (incomplete) sources.

Old Babylonian artifact whose only claim to notability stems from a press release about an academic publication by Daniel Mansfield and the ensuing media coverage. Unfortunately, the press coverage was sensationalistic, full of errors, and and almost devoid of comment from domain experts, leaving little in the way of reliable sources from which to craft an article. Apart from two critical tweets and one quote from a Dutch article, there has been no engagement by the scholarly community with the work. This leaves the original academic paper, but to discern what the paper is claiming and to disentangle that from the erroneous claims attributed to it by the press would require considerable original research, rendering it unsuitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. (The modest attempts made in this direction by a number of editors over the past few months have not converged.) Mansfield's claim that the artifact represents the oldest example of applied geometry, which would confer notability, is not taken seriously by any established experts.

  • Comment I don't believe in the unnecessary deletion of significant information, thus the merge suggestion which does not mean that all of the material in the Si.427 article needs to be merged but at a minimum mention of the scholarly paper ought to be. Mansfield's peer reviewed paper is not his first on the subject matter (Plimpton 322) and qualifies him as an expert in this area in his own right independently of any third party. The references to Si.427 in said paper are minor, there isn't even a section heading for it. On a close examination, no criticism of the actual paper exists, the objections are to the secondary sourcing misrepresentations of the paper that appear to have originated with Mansfield's employer,
    UNSW, rather than Mansfield himself. Much ado about very little as far as I can see.Selfstudier (talk) 11:23, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Comment There are several high quality sources on
    Si.427
    :
  1. Scheil, Vincent (1895)
  2. Scheil, Vincent (1902)
  3. Veenhof, K. (1973) - this one, for instance, has about a page of content about Si.427, providing translating the non-mathematical content of the tablet.
  4. KIJK/Laurie Underwater 2021 - quotes an assyriologist Mathieu Ossendrijver
I am personally do not follow the logic dictating that all content about Si.427 should be exterminated and can not be mentioned in any Wikipedia page. Per
WP:GNG: If a topic does not meet these criteria but still has some verifiable facts, it might be useful to discuss it within another article. Infinity Knight (talk) 20:08, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply
]
The logic, as I see it, is that the noise that has been made about this overwhelms the valid information by a factor of 10000 to 1. If this were an important tablet we might just have to buckle down and fight what would undoubtedly be an ongoing years-long battle to keep the falsehoods out of Wikipedia. But since it doesn't seem to be that important, at least in the eye of the professionals who have commented, it would save valuable editor time not to have an article at all.
Also, it would be odd to have an article based just your first three sources, omitting the Mansfield paper that drew all the attention. But to include Mansfield, we would need an editor who has studied the paper in sufficient depth to be able to be able to summarize its claims without falling prey to all the misrepresentations in the press. With the possible exception of one IP editor, I don't see that any of the contributors to the page so far have done that. (I know I haven't.) It might also be hard to avoid
WP:SYNTH. I also think it may be too soon to have an article, as the community of professional historians has not yet seriously weighed in (and may never do so). There are many published claims floating around about early uses of Pythagorean triples (in van der Waerden's books, for example), which we have not seen fit to include in Wikipedia, either because the claim never gained traction in the broader scholarly community, or became discredited as standards of scholarship improved. Will Orrick (talk) 22:58, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply
]
Agree with Infinity Knight on this claim. The argument against seems rather convoluted to me, why does the fact that coverage has been mostly "noise" count as a factor against rather than for WP:Notability, can anyone point to an official policy to that effect? Most of the good content potential here is precisely clarifying the press coverage (controversy section) and having a good wiki article to dispel any misinformation would be helpful to outsiders. Caleb Stanford (talk) 15:41, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that Wikipedia editors would have to take it upon themselves to debunk the misinformation, since no reliable outside source has done so. I think this would violate policies against original research. This leaves us in a difficult position: either we uncritically repeat material published in newspapers and magazines that we know to be false, or we violate
WP:NOTNEWS talks about "enduring notability". Until other scholarly sources pick up on this, I'd say we don't have that here. Will Orrick (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Very selective merge or redirect to
    POV fork and that the individual artefact isn't notable. The 'controversy' section is particularly silly, trying to spin an everyday event like "scholar writes bad paper outside his field; lazy journalists uncritically repeat its claims" into something worthy of encyclopaedic coverage. That said, I think the title is a plausible search term and there is some decent material in the article. If nothing else, the photos are nice. Sippur is the site where the artefact was find and is a more natural redirect target than Plimpton 322, an apparently unrelated object. – Joe (talk) 15:22, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply
    ]
The only notable thing about the tablet I can see is that the fields are actual rectangles, not generic quadrilaterals, which is seems to be the key fact at the core of Mansfield's claims about Pythagoras. This seems to me to be something that is really about the human geography of Sippar, rather than the development of Babylonian mathematics. I agree that the controversy section is really a fig leaf for the fact the rest of the article is really information about an otherwise relatively unremarkable object, and there is far too much space given to the controversy (imagine if there was a WP page on every object that generated a disagreement due to weak scholarship in archaeology!). I agree that Plimpton 322 is not a good place to put this material, and photos of Si.427 would fit at Sippar#Gallery; one might even make the case that an aside about the rare "exact" rectangular fields could be slipped into Sippar#Archaeology, if given a little context. 115.64.100.121 (talk) 05:26, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Plimpton 322 and include a selected note in Sippar. IMO the article content contains WP:Notable information, with a few good citations, that would be a loss to entirely get rid of. I don't know why news/press coverage is being completely discounted here, from an outsider perspective that makes the article more notable than if there were only a few academic papers about it. Caleb Stanford (talk) 15:34, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It seems especially illogical to me to put information about Si.427 at Plimpton 322. The fact that journalists reported exaggerated information about an artifact that was published in a paper primarily about Plimpton 322 would be incredibly tangential to the topic of Plimpton 322. I still don't think information about Si.427 should be anywhere on wikipedia, but if it is it should be at Sippar#archeology. Danstronger (talk) 22:17, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There is some confusion about this. The hoohah over Si.427 is the result of secondary source churnalism about a paper entitled " "Plimpton 322: A Study of Rectangles" which is mainly a discussion of Plimpton 322 but it includes a novel and not generally accepted theory about it supported by reference to the otherwise not very notable Si.427. That's how the two things are linked. The paper itself is primary source for the new theory but the author may be considered as expert having written about Plimpton 322 previously so his opinion cannot be simply dismissed as that of a crank and no actual criticism of the paper itself exists only of the secondary source hype around Si.427. So the paper itself ought to go to Plimpton 322 because that's what its about and the Si.427 archaeology to Sippar or wherever. The only real issue here is whether in a merge to include any reference to the quite minor "controversy" at Plimpton 322.Selfstudier (talk) 22:42, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's actually quite a bit more complicated than that. At present our Si.427 article contains nothing about any new theory of Plimpton 322, and much of what it does contain has no relevance to Plimpton 322, so I don't think it makes sense to talk about a merge. What the merge suggestion is really asking is for some generous-with-their-time editor to create brand new content about Plimpton 322 and add that content to the Plimpton 322 article. Any discussion of such an addition must take place at the Plimpton 322 talk page, not here. (Warning: there will be controversy.)
As for merging some of the existing material into
WP:PROPORTION in that article. For example, I wouldn't guess that Si.427 deserves more space than the Babylonian Map of the World or the early version of the Epic of Gilgamesh
found on a tablet at Sippar.
I also don't agree that the controversy is primarily about bad reporting on Mansfield's 2021 Foundations of Science paper on Plimpton 322. Mansfield published another paper in 2020 entirely devoted to Si.427 in Journal of Cuneiform Studies. It is true that the press release and media coverage were occasioned by the publication of the 2021 paper, but much of the content of the UNSW press release and of Mansfield's statements to the press was focused on Si.427 and relates to the 2020 paper, a paper that mentions Plimpton 322 only in passing and contains no new theory about it.
As far as can tell, the new theory that does appear in the 2021 paper is concerned with the arithmetic and computational properties of two of the columns of Plimpton 322. Among existing theories, it seems closest in spirit to Friberg's factor reduced core ideas, but appears to be less predictive. The new theory is presented very briefly and takes up just a paragraph or so in the paper, which is mostly devoted to a literature review at the non-specialist level. The connection with applied geometry and Si.427 is even more brief, taking up at most a sentence or two, and is presented with a lot of hedging, clearly marking the connection as speculative, with no hard evidence to support it. Yet somehow in the press release and interviews with Mansfield, this is portrayed as a firm discovery rather than a speculation, and Si.427 is said to indicate new heights of sophistication in Old Babylonian mathematics, as if numerous more sophisticated artifacts haven't been studied for decades. Although the journalists who reported on this story made some mistakes, I don't think they can be blamed for these misrepresentations.
In summary, Mansfield has a new, rather technical, arithmetic theory about Plimpton 322 about which there is presently no content on Wikipedia and which may be too marginal and too un-vetted for inclusion. At the same time, grandiose claims about the geometric significance of Si.427 were splashed all over the press, but appear to be greatly exaggerated. I don't see how merging the existing Si.427 content into any other existing Wikipedia article helps with any of this. Will Orrick (talk) 17:45, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep- I searched and she seems to be notable because I saw that she appeared in a few TV interviews as well and she has also wrote a book. So we can keep the article in main space if the article is improved with more sources. I think the editor can/should also improve the content of the article.

  • Comment She is not just a business person and she's done more than just one thing. Maybe the wordings/text was not organized properly which created impression that it's a page for just a business person. I have added 3 more references (1 2 3), in the process of adding more sources and I am also working on improving the overall content. I also found some coverage in Gujrati news which I'll add to the article after reviewing carefully.

The account is created just 3 days ago, has done only 9 edits and all of them are related to nominating my articles for AFD or tagging them as spam. It can't be a coincidence and a bit concerning.

    Unsure why that is relevant, by inference if she is a page 3 girl the sun is not an RS for her, as they are her employers. As far as I can tell apart from being a page 3 girl (and winning the Suns competition to be one, not (as far as I am aware) a major award) she was not a winner of a celebrity big brother contest.

Only two inbound links in article space; the scope of the article overlaps substantially with the main Einsatzgruppen page and should probably be replaced with a redirect to Einsatzgruppen, which covers the material much better. Ich (talk) 11:44, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For me to change my mind on this, at the very least, I would want to see how this article is actually supported so that it passes
WP:GNG. The sources listed in the article do not presently do this because there are no page references so it is impossible to see how the article content is actually supported. Even with this, merging to Einsatzgruppen still looks like the best option for reasons of presentation. The differences between different sonderkommandos (which is ultimately just a German word for "special command unit", and so of course has been used for other things) can be explained at the Einsatzgruppen article.

  • Weak keep and oppose merge to Spin (magazine) per well reasoned comments by Multi7001. Ultimately, I don't think there is a good merge target for the article and the content provides an important history of several notable publications which are widely used as sources in music articles on wikipedia. It's of value to our readers to know about the publishers of the resources we use to source our articles. Further, splitting out the content to multiple articles isn't really possible for attribution purposes. We can't redirect to multiple places, so I think keeping is the best choice.4meter4 (talk) 02:37, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a longstanding duplicate of

monophyletic. In academic literature, there is no distinction made between "mite" and "Acari". Apparently, the whole reason for having these two, nearly identical in scope articles is that "Mite" in English semantically excludes ticks, which are a subgroup of the Parasitiformes. To me, this is not enough of a distinction to justify a wholly separate article with a nearly identical scope. There is no reason that ticks cannot be given proportionate coverage in the mite article. I propose that this article be Redirected to mite. Hemiauchenia (talk) 07:26, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Redirect. There is very substantial duplication between these articles, and I see no reason why both the monophyly and common name issues could not be handled in one single article - as they largely are already at Mite. (NB, Parasitiformes has been left a bit of a backwater and among other things lacks a link to... Mite.) As for procedural concerns, it is true that the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life#Parasitic_Lice_Classification has a level of subject knowledge that is unlikely to be brought to bear here, and it would be useful for participants in that discussion to comment in this AfD - drop a more obvious note, Hemiauchenia? But forumshopping is not a concern; AfD is the most public arbiter of these questions, so this is more of an escalation, which is fine. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:27, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heropanti 2 This is an unreleased film that does not satisfy

general notability
. This draft or article is about an unreleased film.
The film notability guideline
identifies three stages in the production cycle for films:

  • 1. Planned films that have not begun production (
    film notability
    .
  • 2. Films that are confirmed by
    significant coverage
    . Mere mention of the start of production does not satisfy notability.
  • 3. Films that have been released, whose notability is determined primarily by reception and reviews.

This film page must be evaluated based on

general notability
of production. Category:AfC comment templates An article should
speak for itself
and explain why it is notable. This article only says that production took place. An analysis of the sources shows that most of them are press releases, mostly announcing people associated with the film.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 Bollywood Hungama Press release announcing selection of writer No Yes No
2 Bollywood Hungama Press release announcing selection of director No Yes No
3 Bollywood Hungama Press release announcing one of the stars No Yes No
4 Bollywood Hungama Press release announcing the leading lady No Yes No
5 Bollywood Hungama Press release announcing the release date No Yes No
6 Times of India Photos of stars Yes No No Yes
7 Bollywood Hungama Press release announcing completion of principal photography No No Yes No
8 Times of India Report of stars returning to Mumbia after shoot. No No Not usually No
9 Bollywood Hungama Press release announcing musical appointments No No Yes No
10 Bollywood Humana Press release concerning various personnel. No No Yes No
11 FirstPost Press release concerning music No No Yes No

Two of them refer to the completion of production, but one of them is another press release, and the other says, in the Times of India, which is not a reliable sources, that the stars went home after the shoot. The fact that the film is in the can does not mean that putting it in the can was

  • Redirect and salt until May 2022. There isn't enough to show any notability for this film yet. Can be discussed in the Heropanti article until reviews and screenings are out. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 22:11, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The threshold for a future film is commencement of principle photography. This one had many false starts, but now, not only is principle photography commenced, but is finished, and the release date set.
Robert is taking a very hard reading of the WP:GNG, which is often appropriate, but not always.
WP:NFF from its beginning has provided and exception to the GNG, or certainly permission to reading the GNG more gently. And there are some very good reasons for it to do so. One is that Wikipedia readers expect coverage of eagerly anticipated new films, to the point that if the article is missing, readers will spontaneously become new editors and write the missing article. The reaction to seek SALTing is simple evidence that this is what’s happening. The ghits are huge, there is excitement, and it will continue, increasingly, until about a week after release. NFF is not at all like NSPORTS or the variety of SNGs that encourage permastubs, but it addresses a short period, between commitment of the bulk of the budget, and commercial release. If, after release, quality sources don’t immediately arise, then it can be deleted (NFF doesn’t apply post-release). However, this is rare, as big budget, multi-star films that tank still receive coverage. NFF has an excellent track record for enduring articles.
It is most undesirable to force it back to draftspace. Draftspace is not meant to be a shadow encyclopedia. New editors should not be told to go to draftspace to read what they expect to read.
If there weren’t a flurry of sources every week, then it could be better to force it into a tail section of the first movie, but this means the first movie article will have an ugly split, and the history of the two films will be unfairly mangled. The current article (pair of pages) has dozens of sources in the history. All but one or two of them won’t survive two weeks beyond the release date. All those sources do not belong in the first move page history, but the second. The same history concerns apply to the editors in the edit history. Also, this approach is not applicable to non-sequels.
NFF exists as a temporary threshold-lowering guideline for good reason. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:02, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify This has all the ingredients to become a notable film and it will be in all probability. But Robert's analysis is also correct. So my vote would be to take the mid-path and draftify for now and as soon as reception emerges, bring it to main space. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 20:14, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article is currently receiving >1000 page views per day. "heropanti 2 release date" has 1.5M Ghits.

  • Comment Sidi is an honorific. Names from Arabic writing are infamous for being transliterated variously. The Roberts reference cited in the article renders this name as Ahmed ou l-Qadi throughout. See, e,g. [24]. Oussedik (2005) renders the name similarly, though I cannot tell from the snippet if that book can serve as significant coverage. French Wikipedia [25] cites an earlier work by Oussedik (Tahar Oussedik, 'Le Royaume De Koukou', p. 7-8-9-10) but I cannot preview it.[26] Not a hoax but also not multiple reliable sources I can point to online. 68.189.242.116 (talk) 17:20, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A precise verification can be made from this text, in the fifth paragraph: En haute Kabylie, le royaume de Koukou, fonde par Sidi Ahmed ou el Kadhi - In upper Kabylie, the Kingdom of Kuku, founded by Sidi Ahmed N'Ulqadi. On page 10 of this text, the founder of Kuku is given as "Ahmed-ben-el-Qadi", almost certainly an alternate translation of the same name - see Curbon7's comment above.

It would be helpful if you put RS it in the article. Sometimes an AfD brings sources that are never put in the article, and then the article remains a stub. But if we can build it it makes a stronger case. Lightburst (talk) 00:05, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is that all there is? If all the information we have about this person is that they were the founder of this kingdom, that probable doesn't warrant a separate article. The second of your sources has Le royaume de Koukou fut fondé en 1510 par Ahmed-ben-el-Qadi, qui était juge à la cour des derniers rois de Bougie. Lors de la prise de cette ville, le 6 janvier 1509, il s'était réfugié chez les Qbails des Ait-Ghoubri, à Aourir: il était devenu le chef d'une confédération puissante., but that's very little, and (take a look at

  • Merge to
    WP:PAGEDECIDE - just because a topic is notable doesn't mean the best way to deal with it need be to give it its own page. Both this page and that for his kingdom are a grand total of one line of text, with much the same content and a sole identical citation. That simply adding the phrase "with Sidi Ahmed N'Ulqadi as its sultan" to the end second sentence of Kingdom of Kuku would transfer all of the unique content of this page to the other indicates that there is little point in preserving these as separate single-sentence micro-stubs unless/until more potential content is identified.

  • Keep and move per my comments above. It's clear from the history that the Pick system is highly notable and, with Pick/BASIC, as one of the two main work-achieving interfaces to the system, in an ideal world it seems to me that ACCESS would clearly be an important thing to have a good article on. There's one problem: per GNG, the references we actually have seem to be borderline (two not-so-great books and some passing mentions in articles; I found some further). In my view, the obvious importance of the topic justifies overcoming the doubt that the references are enough to furnish a decent article. Furthermore, the historians of past computer systems still appear to be providing useful coverage of Pick, and like COBOL the Pick system is actually still deployed, so if we can excuse my IAR violation of CRYSTALBALL, I do expect the referencing situation to improve. — Charles Stewart (talk) 08:44, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @
WP:MMATIER, currently only UFC and Invictar are top tier promotion and Bellator was top tier from 2009 to 2015). McKee has only 1 fight under UFC and 1 fight under Bellator in 2019 - see here which during that time Bellator is not a top tier promotion. Secondly, the 2 sources are interview piece which means the source are not independent as the info is deviate form the subject himself for such the subject fails both NMMA and GNG.

  • Keep. 1) Azfar Hussain is surely a notable figure in his country. His book in Bengali called Darshanakkyan --one of a kind--has been considered a groundbreaking intervention in literary and cultural criticism in Bangladesh (most of the major national dailies and other literary magazines--in both English and Bengali--have published glowing reviews of that book); he also held Summer Distinguished Professorship of English and Humanities at the University of Liberal Arts-Bangladesh; while he serves as Vice-President of the Global Center for Advanced Studies (a prestigious scholarly association in addition to being an experimental graduate school). All these points are covered in the biography of the subject published by the country's most prominent news portal bdnews24.com (https://arts.bdnews24.com/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AB%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8)

2) He and his works in English have been cited in numerous publications, including some prestigious ones. His work on the Native American poet Joy Harjo called "Joy Harjo and Her Poetics as Praxis" in particular is considered the first postcolonial reading of the poet's work, and it has been cited in many books, journal articles, and dissertations/theses.

3) Significant secondary sources in both English and Bengali are there to support the subject's notability. He writes in Bengali a lot and appears frequently on television in Bangladesh because of his national reputation. Some secondary sources in Bengali:

a) One of the prominent Bengali poets has written on the subject and his book, identifying him as a "significant intellectual": 

 http://www.dainikamadershomoy.com/post/186645

b) One of the leading national dailies in Bangladesh called _Jugantor_ has published an article on the subject's book in Bengali: https://www.jugantor.com/todays-paper/literature-magazine/163337/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8--%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%93-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%87

Some secondary sources in English:

a) Bangladesh's leading English-language daily Daily Star --in its weekly literary magazine-- has published an essay on his book: 

https://www.thedailystar.net/book-reviews/news/azfar-hussains-dorshonakkhyan-materialist-philosophy-1735267

b) Yet another prominent English-language daily in Bangladesh has published a review on the subject: http://www.newagebd.net/article/66890/a-poetic-and-political-approach-to-philosophy— Preceding unsigned comment added by Smmmaniruzzaman (talk • contribs)

Massacre of Oromo soldiers in Dessie

AfDs for this article:
Massacre of Oromo soldiers in Dessie (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Pretty simple reasoning, the article doesn't fit

Wikipedia's notability guidelines
because it has no reliable source covering the alleged massacre. "If no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." I can't find any reliable sourcing.

Regarding the recent edits to change the wording of the article as only claims still violates

WP:UGC). Ue3lman (talk) 04:06, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply
]

The Pakistan news source does not describe a massacre occurring in Dessie. It also disputable to what degree a news source established last year and with possibly only one staff member with no obvious editing policy is a pass for
WP:NEWSORG. Similarly the article about the Ethiopian government also does not describe a massacre in Dessie. FOARP (talk) 13:39, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply
]
The irshadgul.com post was published 2 days before the alleged event, so it doesn't make sense as a source for the allegation. It's quite a stretch to assume that "Kitago" is a transliteration of Getachew. The name Kitago appears to be a common Japanese name which doesn't appear anywhere else on the web in connection with Ethiopia or the war. It also contains absurd geographical errors about the capital of Tigray being near the border with Sudan. Clearly not a reliable source for anything let alone events that occured after it was publised. nemozentalk
In principle, if the irshadgul.com article is a translation from an Ethiopian source, then an innocent date error might have occurred due to converting the date from the Ethiopian calendar into the Gregorian calendar. Regarding the transcription, if this went through written Urdu, keep in mind that Persian-Arabic script usually doesn't show vowels, and between voiced 'G' versus unvoiced 'K' is something that can depend on accent, and from 'ch' to 'g' is not impossible either. The geographical "error" could just be sloppy wording - e.g. the intention is to say that the Tigray Region borders Sudan. However, we can't really use a source where this much guessing is needed, with so little sign of editorial checking of content and presentation. After all, what's the point of leaving in random pieces of text such as the half-sentence feast for treatment.? Boud (talk) 03:06, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating along with

Nominating many articles here to not clog up anything too much, even though I am doing this in good faith.

Davis Wharf isn't a community; it's a literal wharf in Belle Haven, as seen on this Google Maps listing: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Davis+Wharf+Marine+Service,+Inc./@37.5527843,-75.878023,453m/ Newspapers.com gives results for people from "Davis Wharf", but I'm not sure if that indicates a community.

Deep Hole and High Woods are likely not communities, either. Newspapers.com has a few mentions of a "Deep Hole Road", but nothing indicating a community. No results about "High Woods" on Newspapers.com.

Johnson Corner and Nash Corner are literal road corners. Both were mentioned in this AfD as being proposed for deletion, but weren't mentioned past that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Allen_Shop_Corner,_Virginia

No results about Johnson Corner on Newspapers.com. Unsure if the results about Nash Corner are relevant.

Locust Mount is near a "Locust Mount Drive", but seems to be a road where a junkyard and a few houses are, not a community. A few results on Newspapers.com mention a route from "Locustville to Locust Mount".

Mears Station was likely a railroad station, on a road named Mears Station Road, but not a community. Mostly references to the road on Newspapers.com.

I have no clue what Mount Nebo and Mount Zion are, but they don't seem like either communities or mountains to me. Mount Nebo and Mount Zion on Newspapers.com pull up results about a Mount Nebo and a New Mount Zion Baptist church.

I also don't know what Mutton Hunk, Old Trower, Parker Landing, Persimmon Point, and Trower are, but they also don't seem like communitites.

I see one person being listed as "born in Mutton Hunk" and a W.J. Baker in Mutton Hunk, VA on Newspapers.com, but don't know if that means it's a community.

Absolutely no results for Old Trower and Parker Landing on Newspapers.com.

One result about a Persimmon Point: https://www.newspapers.com/image/80094037/?terms=%22persimmon%20point%22%20Accomack%20County&match=1

South Point might have been a map marker for the southernmost direction of the county? A few mentions of people living in or being from South Point or things that happened at the "south point", but I don't know if that means anything about a community.

Trower is very hard to parse through, first result is about someone with the surname Trower arrested in the county, but no community. wizzito | say hello! 03:57, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Davis Wharf, I can find a number of old references to houses for sale at Davis Wharf or people being "from" Davis Wharf, and it was apparently a site where the mail came in, but couldn't find evidence that it was viewed as a community, rather than just a vague neighborhood. Anyway, no coverage I saw was significant.
Delete Deep Hole, searching is difficult, but I can find nothing significant - references to a large estate along the Potomac, a point in the James River where dredging sand was dumped, and references to Deep Hole Road.
Delete High Woods - hard to search for, but I didn't bring up anything useful. If someone can find something I missed, willing to reconsider.
Delete Johnson Corner - I found nothing to indicate that this is anything other than a named road junction. Any development in the area sees to be related to the nearby Arcadia High School (Virginia) and the railroad point Horsey, Virginia. If this article is deleted, Johnson Corner, Virginia should be G14'd.
Weak keep Locust Mount, per this. I'm struggling to find much more, but this one was at least a legitimate community in the 1840s, and it looks like it needs more individual attention than the bulk-mass here. Ken Gallager moved this to the CDP section of the county community template last month, is there census material about this?
Delete Mears Station, all I can turn up is an Army dirigible becoming stranded here, and references to businesses operated by a Mr. Mears in Keller, Virginia
Delete Mount Nebo - All I can turn is a Masons lodge elsewhere in the state, the biblical mountain, various churches in other places, and a rail station in Ohio.
Delete Mount Zion - almost impossible to search for, but everything seems to be about Christian schools and churches elsewhere
Delete Mutton Hunk - mainly finding a modern park and 1890s and 1900s amateur baseball teams looking for Mutton Hunk. Found this, but Branch Valley seems to only be bringing up stuff from other locations.

Don't have time to look at the other six right now. Hog Farm Talk 21:04, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nash Corner - apparently just a road junction, just turning up a couple stray passing mentions and a car dealership in Newport News.
Delete Old Trower - nothing anywhere close to significant coverage.
Delete Parker Landing - Just about everything significant I turned up was for a location in Pennsylvania.
Delete Persimmon Point - found a reference to developed housing in York County, but all I can find for this is references to buoy markers and navigational lights.

Hog Farm Talk 22:55, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete South Point - not finding much I can tie down to this location, which I guess makes sense because GNIS originates from a National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, and a lot of the GNIS pickups from NGIA maps seem to be false positives.
Delete Trower - pretty much just finding last names.

  • delete The topos say that there was nothing here until the 1950s, when the Southern States was built; most of the other businesses seem to have arrived in the 1980s, but of those which have websites, none of them appear to know that they are in Antioch Fork. Searching produces a pre-GNIS listing which describes it as a "locale", and a number of references having to do with road construction/maintenance, but nothing suggesting any settlement here.

  • Keep — We're supposed to be a historical record, not another current events site. Even if it presently doesn't appear to be a settlement in the accepted sense, it was in decades past. GNIS describes it as a populated place, which means that it was at the time the record was made by USGS, and that should be good enough per
    WP:DEGRADE. I believe the problem here centers on the use of "unincorporated community" as a catch-all for anything which escapes more specific categorization, potentially confusing people who have a specific idea of what constitutes a community in the context of populated places.

FYI GNIS is unreliable for "feature class" designations such as Populated Place. The names in the database were copied over from topo maps, and there are numerous transcription errors where crossroads, rail junctions, landforms, etc are mislabeled as populated places. We would need a better source to support the notion that it is/was a community, and it would also need to meet GEOLAND through either official recognition or significant coverage. –dlthewave ☎ 03:38, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The
    WP:GNIS is highly unreliable in its classification and does not bestow notability. All newspapers.com results refer to it a a location at one end of the Taylor Highway (a possible redirect target), like [30], no descriptions of a community. One mentions the Roadhouse there, but I don't see notability. Reywas92Talk 13:57, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete per
    WP:GEOLAND as, even if it were ever populated, it was never a legally recognised populated place. GNIS is an unreliable source for whether a place was populated or not, and anyway does not confer legal recognition. Wikipedia is not a gazetteer, and does not include articles merely on geographical locations regardless of notability. FOARP (talk) 14:23, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply

    You're citing an essay created by yourself earlier this year, one which contradicts long-standing consensus. OTOH,
    WP:5P1 begins with "Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers." Which of the two do you think I should side with? As for the "legally recognized" part, the portion of GEOLAND you're cherry-picking goes on further to state "Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history." We haven't even addressed long-standing editing activity on the part of many editors, motivated by their belief that CDPs are totally artificial creations of the Census Bureau. In other words, according to that definition of "legally recognized", I'll be eagerly awaiting all the ensuing AFDs on those places. Unless, of course, targeting this one article is merely another example of picking low-hanging fruit. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 22:58, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply

Hi
WP:GEOLAND
which is a guideline, and states that Wikipedia is not a dictionary/directory (which is what gazetteers essentially are according to our article on them). Obviously I do not believe it contradicts long-standing consensus, for the reasons stated in the essay (i.e., Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a gazetteer).
I'm not sure why you are bringing up CDPs here. You haven't provided a reason to believe this place was ever legally recognised in any way. There is nothing wrong with targeting low-hanging fruit, indeed I would say this particular fruit is no longer even on the branch. FOARP (talk) 09:27, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From User:Scyrme: "All online mentions of this I could find only quote this article, and the vast majority are apparently Wikipedia mirrors/clones that simply reproduce the article. The external link given at the end of the article itself is a deleted Wordpress blog with little information affirming this article, as far as I could tell. (A "Seigneur Kérdik" is mentioned reverently, but none of the details in this articles are given; the same blog also has a prayer to "Lucifer" in the form of poetry.) Furthermore, both this article & its French counterpart were the only contributions of a single user who hasn't been active since 2013. Other editors of the article are primarily responsible only for basic maintenance (categories, etc.) which doesn't imply that any of them have actually heard of "Kérdik" before encountering this article (or one of its clones). Therefore, I'm not certain the article is truthful or verifiable. At best, it seems to be a collection of unverifiable anecdotes, but I think it's more likely just entirely made-up." wizzito | say hello! 00:38, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
