Article is not yet ready for mainspace. Lacks sources, needs a good copy edit to make sense. I suspect this is a machine translation from somewhere else but not sure where. Annwfwn (talk) 23:38, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Such a mess that even if this was notable, the only reasonable move is to blow it up and start over. -Ljleppan (talk) 10:33, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The source given is too badly formatted to check. I can't tell if this is a hoax, a non-notable historical raid, or a potentially notable battle badly presented. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Per the arguments above. I searched for sources but couldn't find anything of value. (As mentioned, the single reference in the article is too poorly formatted to locate.) Even if this topic is found to be notable, the article is such a mess with nothing great in the edit history to fall back on that we should start over.

Move to "Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa" as per Nableezy Synotia (moan) 19:48, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: and move to Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa - this is an unusual and notable event that has already well surpassed the coverage levels for WP:GNG. Iskandar323 (talk) 20:00, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: and move per Nableezy. CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk) 23:14, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: What is the reason for nomination for deletion? The character achieves note clearly and prominently, and he is the first Al Jazeera journalist to be killed in Gaza! He is one of the founders of the Al Jazeera office in the Gaza Strip, meaning that he is not only a photojournalist, but one of the founders of the first Al Jazeera office in the Gaza Strip! Nominating the article for deletion or changing the name of the article is a very strange thing!!!--— Osama Eid (talk) 23:16, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The reason, as explained above, is that he does not pass the guidelines for establishing encyclopedic notability. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:31, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I don't understand why he asked "What is the reason" when I, you, and others have provided policy-based arguments as to why it should be deleted, moved, or merged. I listed 9 reasons for deletion and still he asks "what is the reason". JM (talk) 00:34, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And apparently he does not feel any of your listed reasons actually applies. Nor do I. nableezy - 02:29, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As to whether he feels the reasons apply or not, he did not say; all he said regarding my reasons was "what is the reason" and whether he agrees with the reasons or not, he's not even acknowledging that I provided any, let alone 9 of them. JM (talk) 04:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move/Draftify. Certainly should be a "Killing of" article rather then a bio per WP:BLP1E. Unconvinced that notability at that level is clearly substantiated yet, so I think draftifying said article would probably be a good idea as well, but the move would be most important. DarkSide830 (talk) 02:59, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (very selectively) into Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, where this journalist belongs yet isn't mentioned. All this as BIO1E. This destination is preferred over the List of journalists killed in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war that comes with the article, because the list should be merged into Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war as well. Yet the list is also a valid destination, as right now it exists alongside. Maybe by current setup the article is too refined. It's possible. Both would be legitimate destinations. My recommendation holds unless RS/I/V previous coverage ON this journalist is found. Always hard to find ON journalists as blurred by materials BY a journalist. So just tag me if you have it. I apply exactly the same standards for all sides and sorts (i.e. including for Hamas "militants", which this journalist is not). gidonb (talk) 03:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: A journalist who deserves an article about himself and not only because of his killing. Eladkarmel (talk) 12:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Eladkarmel Is "he deserves it" really your reasoning here? Any guidelines or policies backing that up? We should take this seriously and have a policy-based discussion, not an ethics debate. JM (talk) 12:38, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    They might've meant that Abu Daqqa "warrants" an article on the grounds of his notability as a journalist rather than just his killing. Mooonswimmer 16:51, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep enough coverage to pass WP:GNG, neutral on Nableezy's proposal to change the article title. Inter&anthro (talk) 22:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Inter&anthro Would you say that this coverage is of his death, or of his life in the context of his death? Or is there actual coverage of this person outside of the context of his death? Because if the latter is false, its plainly WP:BLP1E and the subject himself does not pass WP:GNG, so the article would at least need to be changed to Death of Samer Abu Daqqa, if not merged or deleted. JM (talk) 16:38, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It would be Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa as he was killed by an Israeli drone attack and did not die peacefully in his sleep. In a normal world it would be Murder of Samer Abu Daqqa but for some reason we need an Israeli court to convict an Israeli soldier of murder to call it that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . nableezy - 16:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:FORUM and remember ARBPIA JM (talk) 21:34, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There is nothing FORUM about my comment, it is about WP:DEATHS which specifies where we use killing, death, or murder. If you think my comment is an ARBPIA violation you can take it to AE where I imagine you might get a few chuckles. nableezy - 16:22, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There is something FORUM about your comment because you admitted in that comment that you can't call it murder in the title without "an Israeli court to convict". And it's at least approaching an ARBPIA violation because "Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator." You've had blocks and bans before, you should know. If you can't follow standards you shouldn't be in this topic area. JM (talk) 23:29, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I was remarking on the absurdity of needing an Israeli court to convict an Israeli soldier of killing a Palestinian for that to be called "murder". If you feel that is an ARBPIA violation, by all means report it to WP:AE. nableezy - 23:38, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Your userbox will likely get you there soon enough anyway. For now, focus on the deletion discussion WITHOUT closing in on ARBPIA. JM (talk) 23:45, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Lol, cool. nableezy - 00:00, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war per Gidonb. When the bulk of his article/notability is due to his death, a standalone wikibio isn't quite justified. The Kip 07:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. The killing may receive sustained coverage due to the subsequent investigations and might eventually warrant a standalone article (Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa). Mooonswimmer 20:23, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, and redirect per nableezy. The death received non trivial coverage, in multiple reliable sources, and therefore meets WP:EVENT. HilbertSpaceExplorer (talk) 10:53, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you re-read EVENT which this clearly does not pass.
  1. Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect.
  2. Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below).
  3. Events having lesser coverage or more limited scope may or may not be notable; the descriptions below provide guidance to assess the event.
  4. Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.
-Ad Orientem (talk) 16:07, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reporters Without Borders has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court that includes Samer Abu Daqqa's killing, which will bring along with it continued coverage about it. The coverage has been very wide and in diverse sources, from CNN (American), Jerusalem Post (Israeli), The Guardian (British), al-Jazeera (Qatari), France 24 (French). It has caused complaints to be raised to the ICC (international impact) by both al Jazeera and RWB, it has notable NGOs like the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders discussing it at depth, it has the UNESCO Director General making remarks about it. But you just proclaim that this clearly does not pass. It has been re-analyzed afterwards, it has widespread coverage in diverse sources. It rather clearly does pass, and only a refusal to engage with the sourcing can explain how somebody denies that without any semblance of a justification. nableezy - 16:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Enduring historical significance." No.
Widespread impact." No.
"Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time... Yes. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:02, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes a reporter being killed by a drone attack is routine, a referral to the international criminal court is routine, accusations of war crimes are routine. Silly me. nableezy - 19:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move to Killing of Samer Abu Daqqa. Even if he doesn't personally fulfil the notability criteria, his murder by the IDF is definitely notable, since it has been widely covered in the news and elsewhere. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 18:30, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You’re not helping. nableezy - 19:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, you're probably right, so I modified my vote a bit. This topic just makes me very emotional. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 21:27, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. nableezy - 21:39, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Having read the original comment, I can see it was incredibly inappropriate for Wikipedia. It calls back to the comment you made to me saying I don't think "Palestinian lives matter". If you can't follow ARBPIA and meet behavioural standards (and by your own admission "this topic just makes me very emotional"), you should avoid the Israel-Palestine topic completely. You risk a TBAN with such behaviour and it definitely doesn't belong in a deletion discussion. JM (talk) 23:33, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I can see why the original poorly cited article was put up for deletion, however, I've now expanded it and added reliable sources.

Bermicourt (talk) 12:39, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are 5,000 people in line to the British throne by the reckoning that you are using (which [as I've said elsewhere in other discussions] is faulty since in practice the line is restricted to British citizens and it would take a massive disaster of global proportions to kill the first 100 people in the line of succession, meaning no-one would be worrying about who the 101st person in line would be because we'd all be too busy trying to survive).

Suboptimal health[edit]

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

As far as I can tell, the concept (as defined by Yan and Wang) describes a set of risk factors for obesity, smoking, mental health issues, and being overworked. Except for sources 3-6, all sources include both Yu-Xiang Yan and Wei Wang on the author list. Sources 4 and 5 also do not have listed authors. This makes me seriously question if sources 3, 4, 5, 6 can pull their weight as reliable and independent (of Yan and Wang's research), especially to the high standard of WP:MEDRS. I suspect the original creation of this article was a COI edit, as several paragraphs show up as copy pastes on earwig from Yan and Wang's publications. I will now go over sources 3-6:

- Source 3 does not cite any of Yan and Wang's publications, but comes after in 2013, suggesting that the research on 'subhealth' is only coincidentally similar to 'suboptimal health' researched by Yan and Wang. It seems to be the only source independent of Yan and Wang to meet MEDRS.

- The concept of suboptimal health been used to uncriticially promote chinese traditional medicine (TCM) - see this removal for example. source (source 4), also mentions how TCM is central to the concept and markets TCM products to this end. It does not meet MEDRS as it is an opinion article.

- Source 5 uncritically promotes TCM, makes no citations, and it is unclear to me if it refers to the same topic that Yan and Wang cover. Does not meet MEDRS.

- Source 6 looks reliable, independent and has significant coverage, stating: "However, lacking of precise definition by official health bodies, the term "sub-health" remains a vague concept. The concept of sub-health has gone popular in the Chinese mainland in the 90s and has been controversial. It was accused of being a commercial excuse for the business of health care products by the local media." As a news report it does not meet MEDRS.

Sources I did find, by doing a google and google scholar search for 'subhealth' and 'suboptimal health':

- [4]. It seems reliable, independent and has significant coverage. It claims that Wang has published over 200 papers about SHS which I am a bit skeptical of, but otherwise this seems okay. Does not mention TCM involvement.

- [5]. Does not cite Yan and Wang. This paper is funded by a company trying to promote the aformentioned dietary supplement, and is unrelated to TCM. I doubt it would meed MEDRS due to the lack of independent review or funding.

Of course, uncritically promoting TCM does not alone warrant the concept/article for deletion, so my main argument is about the lack of independent sources meeting MEDRS with significant coverage to Yan and Wang's research. It is also unclear to what extent Yan and Wang's research may have been involved to promote TCM. My speculation is that this term has a popular Chinese equivalent term in circulation, which I cannot verify myself as I can't read Chinese. It is possible the topic has notability for Chinese Wikipedia, which it does have an article for (it seems to be a translated copy of this one). But I do find it concerning how the concept uncritically promotes TCM. I am not sure what role Wikipedia should play in presenting that material without undue weight, especially considering the paucity of sources I could identify in english which independently refer to Yan and Wang's research, since they seem to be the central researchers to the topic as it exists in China.

My personal opinion is to delete the article, and it could be restored when significant coverage by two reliable, independent sources meeting MEDRS are published and found -- ideally review articles of the concept, including its Chinese historical significance and how it is related to both TCM and dietary supplements.

  • Keep and improve. Comment. After checking publications in Google Scholar, this seems to be a sufficiently established terminology in various contexts, for example [6],[7], [8]. My very best wishes (talk) 02:15, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Among the sources you linked: 3 has Yang and Wang, and 5 has Wang, so they are not independent (I happened to of already read source 3 as part of WP:BEFORE). I did not know 4 existed (thank you for finding it!), and at first it seems to be a reliable source to establish notability. Ideally, to meet MEDRS we would have multiple such independent reviews, so this still seems somewhat of a borderline case. Although I notice a few statements leading me to question its reliability:
    - Many developed countries, including Saudi Arabia, I understand some of the authors reside in Saudi Arabia but I understand this statement to be false.
    - According to the diagnostic guidelines provided by the Association of Chinese Medicine, symptoms in three areas, namely, systematic, psychological, and social, are evaluated to assess SHS This confirms in part that SHS is associated to TCM, although the exact relationship is still unclear to me. In any case, a significant amount of SHS studies seem from Wang's research group.
    - Of the four metrics among 12-14 articles assessed in the review (SHSQ-25, SHMS V1.0, MSQA, SSS) the original proposals of SHSQ-25 and MSQA appear to have been developed by Wang's group. Not a factor to rule it out, just as an observation.
    - The paper states SHS has now been recognized as an essential construct in personalized medicine to decrease the risk of developing disease and enhance general health. Moreover, the idea of SHS reflects the belief that chronic diseases can be effectively predicted and prevented before a clinical manifestation of severe pathologies from the view of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine and cites [9] for support, which seems like a paper mill as the only search result for the journal is a LLC company statement. The quote is a significant claim considering the little research in the area and makes me possibly question the neutrality of the authors on the subject.
    I do not have a good explanation, but I have to wonder why there is no research I can seem to find covering this in the US, considering this particularly named theory has been around since at least 2009. Anyway, I think these are all factors that should be weighed in consideration of the outcome of this AfD. Darcyisverycute (talk) 13:53, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you for taking the time to review this article. To establish the noteworthiness of the film, I have expanded the lead section (and rearranged a few sentences) to include discussion of the film’s prominence because of its prolific director (Ravidra Dave), the film’s highly-paid lead actress (Mala Sinha) and also the film’s music director (Chitragupt). I have also increased the cites for the article. Scholar165 (talk) 22:28, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Opposing deletion (as at the very very least a redirect to the director's page is in my view warranted.) But the infos are verifiable and this is a 1962 film with very notable cast and director, which contributes to the film's notoriety (WP:INHERIT does not apply to this statement, thank you in advance for not mentioning it). So I would rather like a plain keep as the film mightseems to meet the following criterion: "the film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of their career." (WP:NFILM) if we can consider it is a major part of Ravindra Dave's and Male Sinha's career, but this very point would need to be established more clearly maybe.-My, oh my!

    Maybe not the "major part of their career"(s) (emphasis mine) but as it was a commercial success, an important/major part of them (you will note that the guideline uses "a"). Still, if you think a redirect to Ravindra Dave#Hindi films and merge there is better, I am not opposed to this solution, personally (although I still do think a keep is better). -My, oh my!

Delete. I did a Google search and all I found is some posts about new versions. No sources discuss this web browser as significant. Also, I believe that being part of KDE does not mean that it is notable and should have its own Wikipedia article. Deltaspace42 (talk • contribs) 22:53, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: this article had three prior AfDs, was deleted twice, undeleted once, and underwent two DRVs. Everything that could have been said about it and its sourcing has already been said. I'm sure the nom meant well in nominating this (on his 75th edit to the project), but at this point, any further discussion about this article is pointless, if not disruptive. I get it; sourcing is marginal. There are good arguments both for and against keeping it. It also exists on wiki in 18 other languages, and will likely be recreated here again anyway. I don't often do this, but can we just leave this one alone? Owen× ☎ 00:28, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    All three previous nominations were in 2010 when the browser was actively developed. But in 2014 the development stopped and now the project is dead, it became apparent that it has no prospects and I think now it isn't used as default browser anywhere. Given this information and that many arguments for keeping this article in the previous nominations were in the spirit of "this browser is default in major distro" or "probably not very notable yet, but it is in very active development", I think the further discussion is not entirely pointless.

  • Delete - Sure, it was a part of KDE and the default browser for a distro, but I don't think it's notable. It never went anywhere and hasn't seen any notable activity in a decade. I also checked if another semi-obscure KDE browser, Angelfish, had a page and it doesn't, which makes me think this shouldn't either. You could make the argument that it was notable at one point, but anymore I'm not so sure. It's also been nominated for deletion on KDE's own wiki due to being abandoned. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 00:01, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I am leaning delete but per OwenX, I have read through the previous AfDs and the DRVs andbased on those (yes, all in 2010), I think we need to at least discuss the sourcing. The project may be dead now, but notability is permanent. If it was notable in 2010 then it is notable as a historic item despite being essentially dead now. Having said that, source discussion is largely absent from the AfDs, so looking at them now, using numbering in what is currently the latest revision [11] for brevity:
  1. Project page. Primary, not independent.
  2. KDE announce page. Primary, not independent.
  3. Blog. Self published. Not RS, not independent, Primary.
  4. KDE project license. Primary, not independent.
  5. LinuxBSDos review. Secondary. Review is gone and domain appears hijacked but the ref contains a quote, yet the mention appears trivial.
  6. Kubuntu.org. Primary, not independent.
  7. Kubuntu archive. Primary, not independent.
  8. AdamBlog. Primary, self published, not independent.
  9. projects.kde.org - Primary, not independent.
  10. AdamBlog. Primary, self published, not independent.
So in summary there is one old secondary source that might be retrievable through the webarchive but appears to be trivial. If we admit it, though, we are still not at WP:GNG. It probably never did meet GNG, but we should be looking to see if it made any kind of impact. Searching, I found reviews like this: [12] but that is a submitted review, so won't be reliable and that seems to be a general problem. It gets mentioned in a number of books talking about Linux distros, such as this one [13], but this one is typical in saying little more than that it has a user agent switcher. I thought Logiciel pour le World Wide Web was going to do the trick and then saw it was sourced to Wikipedia! Other books failed to turn anything up. This paper looks at reverse engineering the browser [14], but the significance of this browser is not really demonstrated there. Rekonq is chosen because that was the browser of a TOR user investigated by the FBI and who was de-anonymised using a technique described in the paper. The fact that rekonq was used is just chance and nothing there would allow an encyclopaedic article to be written. So, after spending a good deal of time on this one, I cannot say I think this software was ever independently notable. However, I have left the !vote unsaid at this point as we have a few more days. If anyone can provide secondary sources showing it was independently notable, I would be happy to keep the page. Otherwise it's a delete (or merge to KDE).

Cbl62 (talk) 03:45, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    FWIW, if this were a close case where there was some SIGCOV, other factors such as geographic proximity, the trophy, and competitiveness would weigh in favor of keeping, but I haven't seen anything that could be called SIGCOV here. Cbl62 (talk) 12:45, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but we have categorization and framing problems across a lot of articles like this. As a series of annual games with a name (whether it has a trophy is irrelevant), this appears to pass GNG, and would probably be better as Grand Canyon Trophy Game and rewritten to make it clear it is an annual series of games, instead of us claiming it is actually a sports rivalry. What's happened here is that this and several other things have "rivalry" in their names and are a class of things that are sometimes called "rivalry games", but they are not sports rivalries as WP and most sources are using that term. That is, "rivalry" is ambiguous, and writers of this article have confused one meaning with the other just because of the term being used in the name or being used in vague, amgiguous ways by some source material. A "rivaly game" is simply a periodic game (usually a form of exhibition game) between two teams for the entertainment of themselves and their fans, or occasionally as part of some league system but given a name and sometimes a trophy as a promotional mechanism.
    The entire Category:Big Sky Conference rivalries and probably several others like it has completely confused the idea of such a game series with the idea of an actual sports rivalry: a subculture of animosity or faux-animosity between two teams/institutions and especially the fandoms thereof, a rivalry that has a life of its own and garners source coverage unto itself as a social phenomenon, not as promotional lingo used by coaches or athletic department administrators, not just passing use of "rivalry" as a word in routine game coverage, and not simply a game or game series name that happens to have "Rivalry" in it. This article sipmly has not been properly framed as an article on a series of games (which is what the subject is) instead of a sports rivalry (which it is not in any sense that is notable or what Wikipedia should care about).
    The whole category structure relating to this stuff needs to be cleaned up so that exhibition games are classified as such and no longer classified as "rivalries". And lots of these articles need to be rewritten. E.g., to pick one at random, Beehive Bowl (which was quite properly moved away from Southern Utah–Weber State football rivalry in 2016, but was never rewritten) misleadingly opens with "The Southern Utah–Weber State football rivalry, known as the Beehive Bowl, is the annual football game between Southern Utah University and Weber State University"; clearly this is about an annual game series, not about a sports fan subculture of rivalry. The article has ridiculous WP:OR in it, like "In 2011, Southern Utah joined the Big Sky Conference, making it a yearly rivalry." Two teams coming into competition with each other by being in the same conference or other league system does not make them "rivals" (any more than any other two competitors in any sport are "rivals").
    While AfD can make a few dents in the problem by picking off articles that claim to be about rivalries that don't have sufficient sourcing to exist as articles no matter how the content is reframed and renamed and recategorized, a more systematic approach is needed for dealing with the mess that has been created, because a lot of these articles on named series of games have been mis-written as rivaly articles, as if they are something like Liverpool F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry, which they demonstrably are not. I'm not even sure where best to address this. The issue seems most common in American college football, but actually crosses sport and national lines. Maybe WT:SPORT is the place?  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  13:15, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    College football rivalry games are not exhibition games. They are usually regular season games. On rare occasions, rivals may also play in post-season bowl or playoff games. Cbl62 (talk) 14:04, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @SMcCandlish: Even if one views the article as being about the trophy, I am not seeing SIGCOV about the tropy. Did you see sourcing that rises to the level of in-depth coverage about the trophy? Cbl62 (talk) 14:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No, not about the trophy per se, but yes about the game series (which involves a trophy), which is why I didn't go with delete. I think the "nexus" of all of this, now that I've dug a little deeper, is List of NCAA college football rivalry games. There really does seem to be a term rivalry game but this is not the same thing as a rivalry in the sense WP means in its category system and as the term is used in more clearly written journalism than some of the sources at these articles. What's happened is that rivaly game sometimes get shortened in sports writing to rivalry (and in a few cases even in the name of such an event), but this is a different meaning, along the lines of 'organized series of periodic match-ups between a pair of teams in geographical proximity to each other'. It's an ambiguity we are not accounting for. We need to have a category on rivalry games (a series of such matches between two such nearby teams, often but not always with a trophy, and often but not always with a distinct name for the game series), and move the keepable articles to titles that make it clear they are about an event series not about an alleged rivalry in the other sense, of 'a subculture of sports-related antagonism between two teams' fandoms'. E.g. Central Michigan–Eastern Michigan football rivalry and pretty much every other article misnamed and miscategorized like it, are not about "rivalries" but about an organized series of "rivalry game" matches. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SMcCandlish (talk • contribs) 17:09, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Oxford Language (here) defines a "rivalry" as "competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field. 'there always has been intense rivalry between the clubs'" A series of rivalry games between two clubs seems to meet that definition to a T. I just don't see this particular "rivalry" having sufficient depth of coverge to pass GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 01:23, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Arizona and Southern Utah have played each other every season since 2008 and have met 25 times overall.

  • I think Elmidae is right to keep this, but I'd point out that Humic acids are the gardener's equivalent of complementary medicine, a thing where products whose composition isn't even known to the producer are offered for sale with promises of enhanced plant growth based on extremely scanty evidence and no scientific basis. Like complementary medicine, everyone involved in humic acids is very vocal, but the terminology is more impressive than the underlying facts. We should keep this organisation not on the basis that it supports important science, but on the basis that it's generated evidence of notability in a field that gets written-about.

I don't know much about participating in these, feel free to delete my comment if I am not meant to say anything.
I also don't know if humic acids being (allegedly) unfounded or under-evidenced as useful in gardening really undermines the scientific credentials or focus of the International Humic Substances Society. But from what I see of the research they support, I'll go ahead and mildly doubt it. It doesn't seem like they are restricted to supporting research into if whichever acid helps whatever garden crop, and instead include a wide range of topics about humic substances.
In general, I find even short records of professional societies to be very useful for a popular encyclopedia to cover. Even historically, paper book encyclopedias would keep track of these things because it's an incredibly useful resource for someone - especially a student or any young person - to run into. It records the landscape of a profession. Sometimes it helps underline the mere existence of an otherwise obscure profession or specialization. And this is an international society. It is not a 20 person club of friends with similar interests. It appears referenced directly in many academic articles. And it continues to have conferences (is not defunct). Not to be rude to people interested in other things, but I can think of a lot I would delete instead. Soil is what we depend on for life as much as water and air. Whatever is going on in the field is particularly notable to me.
The article should have more sources, for sure. It would also be good to have it better integrated into the larger Wiki and linked to from more soil science related articles. And should be re-written to be a little in the first paragraph to be less ad-copy-ish. I may just do that small part, then people can undo it if it is worse.
About potential other sources, here's some:
I might even be able to add this source, as it's less technical:

  • Delete. I've spent more time than I'd like looking at this page; I came to it after seeing it at DYK. While the bare bones of the content is supported by a source, it isn't a very strong source, and as I've said at ANI previously there are serious sourcing issues with most of the content the author has produced. At this point I'm fairly certain that the phenomenon is a manufactured one; the temples are real, of course, but if there's a documented link between them that's been given this name, I'm struggling to find evidence of it. TL;DR: there isn't substantive coverage of this phenomenon by name in good sources. Vanamonde (Talk) 12:39, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete. This article is almost certainly a hoax. No sources go into the subject in-depth, and very few sources even talk about the subject. There's no evidence that he is related to any of those temples. The article goes to talk about a legend, which fails WP:NOT and is obviously false. The article goes more into detail about the temples than the subject. I think this should be speedily deleted per G3.

  • Redirect per nom, CFORK is sufficient for an immediate WP:BOLD redirect, AfD is not even necessary in this case. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:10, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Possible Weak keep Ark of Bukhara seems to be about the fortress or citadel, while this one is more about the outer walls of the city, which would be appropriate to have an article on, perhaps City walls of Bukhara. At present this seems to be a poor article, but the solution is to improve, not delete. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:02, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect I have studied the city in detail (I took Siege of Bukhara to featured article quality last year), and believe that the best solution is redirecting to Bukhara. As Peterkingiron points out, Ark of Bukhara refers to the inner citadel TimothyBlue—not the walls of the city itself. I do not believe that there is sufficient detail for this article to stand independent—e.g. Pugachenkova in Bosworth and Asimov's UNESCO history summarizes (p.508) the walls and gates of the whole Transoxiana region in around a page, and I have not seen enough scholarship elsewhere. Per WP:NOPAGE, I thus think that redirecting to Bukhara is the best solution. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:53, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems completely promotional material and only primary source coverage - all in-article sources are either HPTN or clinicaltrials.gov links to studies ran by HPTN. According to XTools, Emillerfhi360 (talk · contribs) has 85% article ownership, an account with no edits outside the article over a five year period, who has potential undisclosed COI, and was cautioned on the article's talk page. Not to justify the AfD, but this has a huge amount of in-body external links and overlinking, I am surprised it was not picked up by an automated tool.

Searching for independent sources turned up:

- [21], non signficant coverage

- [22], not independent, as Eric Miller is the HPTN press contact ([23])

There are plenty of sources which cite HPTN studies, eg. [24], but I cannot find any independent reliable sources with significant coverage.

Much of the coverage mentioning this org is about its research and programs. I am sure that most of the content here is promotional and if this article is to be kept, then it would benefit from 1) having all promotional or self-published citations deleted then 2) deleting all content without citations. I think the text remaining may be 3-5 sentences. If there is appetite for deleting content, then I support that.

  • A township in Missouri is a sub-county organization. You won't find anything like a settlement for this on a map because it's essentially a governing body for unincorporated areas within the county. As of the 21st century they generally only serve a road maintenance purpose; I'm not sure if they did anything else in the past. Sometimes townships would have significant coverage, sometimes they won't; if there's not any coverage here I'd recommand a light merge to the county article; this is a somewhat different situation than the unincorporated community articles.

  • Sources: I found seven results in this book and a short paragraph here. Left guide (talk) 07:23, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • And you didn't read a single one of them. None of the phrase matches in the first book are actually about Lincoln Township. They are all biographies of people in Jasper County: Harry T. Boyd, James Barnett Stemmons, Isaac E. Coplen, Jacob N. Bradbury, Joseph Powell, and Virgil C. Erwin. They use the township merely as an address here and there. Research isn't phrase matching with Google and counting the hits. Research is actually reading what search engines turn up.

      The genealogical society's transcription of the atlas is not very trustworthy, as the original did not say "paste in here" in the Joplin Lead Mines as that WWW page does. And we really cannot repeat 19th century fawning such as "fine farms" and "thrifty and industrious population" in Wikipedia. Furthermore since that 1876 history with the fawning subtracted amounts to not much has happened yet a history from a lot later than 1876 is clearly needed.

      Which there will not be. Missouri had optional township government in 1872, abolished just after that history was published, and then again in 1879 under its new 1875 constitution. Even by 1997 only 23 counties in Missouri had opted for any township government at all, which went down to 22 in 2001, and Jasper has not ever been one of them. For Jasper and the rest, Lincoln is just a survey rectangle.

  • I've found this from the 1880s but most of the chapter is about residents of the township, not the township itself. Everything else I can find is passing mentions, mainly statements that people lived in Lincoln Township. I think we're better off merging all township articles for this county to a new section at the Jasper County, Missouri article. Hog Farm Talk 22:12, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Unrelated Question. Why is there articles for deletion if merge or redirect is possible for all articles. बिनोद थारू (talk) 22:52, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Because in some cases the content just shouldn't be covered anywhere, so outright deletion is better than trying to cram it somewhere that it doesn't belong. Hog Farm Talk 23:03, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Jasper county. This is a non legally recognized place because it has no government that represents the people who live there. Their legally recognized government is the Jasper county government. The article doesn't benefit from the presumed notability awarded to legally recognized places. Therefore, to be a stand alone article it needs to meet WP:GNG. In my opinion, It fails WP:GEOLAND because it lacks legal recognition. It fails WP:Sustained because the nominator and the commentors have demonstrated a lack of sustained coverage of the subject. It violates WP:NRV because "the evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest,". Furthermore, even if you want to argue that it is legally recognized, it doesn't matter. "Presumed notability" is merely shortcut to allow unimpeded addition of articles that are clearly notable. The notability of these presumed notable articles can be challenged, and if shown to be failing WP:GNG, merged or deleted. No subject is automatically irrevocably notable. It's had seven years for someone to show material that it demonstrates notability, lets merge it now. Mergers are easily undone if any new evidence comes to light.

    Comment. From WP:GEOLAND itself:

    Census tracts, Abadi, and other areas not commonly recognized as a place (such as the area in an irrigation district) are not presumed to be notable.

    बिनोद थारू (talk) 03:25, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It is not a census tract or an area in an irrigation district; it is a township.Patapsco913 (talk) 03:36, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It is trivial to say something is not "another word describing it". As discussed above, Lincoln Township only exists for the purpose of road maintenance and census. Or in other words, it meets clearly census tract. बिनोद थारू (talk) 03:49, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Obvious keep The nominator’s stated reasoning for this AfD is nonsense, doesn’t pass the most cursory scrutiny, and is at odds with the first of Wikipedia’s Five Pillars:

Our thousands upon thousands of township articles are ubiquitous on en.Wikipedia and underly the very reason we have the categories Category:Townships in Jasper County, Missouri, and Category:Townships in Missouri. Note that the latter category (townships in just Missouri) must have thousands of townships listed.

The nom’s other rationale ( I see only roads and fields), is presumably the result of zooming in on a satellite view and is utter nonsense since Lincoln Township, like any other rural agricultural area with a population of 300, has farmers’ homes accompanying their fields. It’s not hard to see those homes if one cares to acknowledge what’s landing on their retinas (Google Map view, here). Lincoln Township is a run-of-the-mill township no more deserving of being expunged from Wikipedia than thousands of other townships in the US. Greg L (talk) 03:58, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - in the USA, many states have townships.

  • Keep. The reasoning stated by the nominator, that he "sees only roads and fields" might be true (that's what he sees) but what he sees isn't the true facts. Also the nominator failed to show why this township deserves to be treated any different than all the other articles we have on townships in Missouri. MLee1957 (talk) 22:42, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Those other townships, if not notable, should be merged into the county article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James.folsom (talk • contribs) 23:33, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment supporting “keep” Merging into county-wide articles, James, is impractical beyond all comprehension and flies in the face of what makes Wikipedia useful and easy to locate the information one needs.

Missouri’s townships are civil and have legal standings defined by Missouri law. Moreover, Missouri has 1,378 townships apportioned amongst 114 counties.

Henpecking this article to death in hopes of sliding a Post-It note-sized policy change under the door would run afoul with WP:Consensus/Levels of Consensus, which states Consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. A policy change to consolidate townships under their respective counties would require going to Village Pump and proposing such a sweeping idea. By I seriously doubt such a proposal will fly since no one would want to wade through stupendously large county articles; that’s the whole reason we have internal hyperlinks.

Without proper use of hyperlinks to break things up into bite-size portions, which benefits readers and rewards and motivates volunteer wikipedians who generally want to make a small dent in the multiverse, we would end up with “article elephantiasis” like “List of Fables characters”. With the attention spans of readers now approaching one Planck length, readers are increasingly disinterested in such articles. Greg L (talk) 00:02, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another niche D&D setting, this one appears to be self-published by a game designer (Monte Cook) who frankly may merit his own AfD (but one thing at a time). The article does not even make clear what works the setting is composed of, outside am ambiguous section 'sources' listing three self-published books. 99% of the article is unreferenced plot summary (aka WP:FANCRUFT), reception is only 1%, and said reception is composed of the claim that "It has received good reviews" sourced to two unreliable fan-reviews at WP:SPS sites (RPGnet and slashdot...). The only suggestion of notability in the article is the claim that the work won an ENnie Award (actually, according to that list, it won 4 - out of ~2 two dozen categories). Not sure if this award (awards) is sufficient to keep this (nothing in the article about the award suggests it is particularly significant for the gaming scene), my BEFORE shows nothing else that we can use as a source, so if we were to enforce WP:V we would be left with a substub catalogue entry and a sentence on ENies.

    @Canterbury Tail "top award in the roleplaying industry" - according to whom? This claim is not even in our article about the awards.

  • Keep It actually won TWO Ennie awards, if you read the linked pdf. Slashdot and RPGnet are both longstanding sites (20+ years?) with editorial control, and the reviews are both posted by staff members, not random bloggers. So GNG is met--no objection to cleanup and expansion of the reception section, no objection to looking for and incorporating other coverage. I just don't see a good merge target: Monte Cook would be better than deletion, but that article needs to be buffed--the guy's been around the hobby since I started 40+ years ago, and worked on some major products. Jclemens (talk) 06:43, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll ping @VickKiang for 3O in the reliability of these, as he is experienced with them. However, Slashdot is a social news website where "Summaries of stories and links to news articles are submitted by Slashdot's own users". The article appears to be a blog ("Posted by Zonk"). Two RSN discusions do not suggest the site is seen as reliable (1, 2). Ditto for RPGnet: "users have contributed numerous reviews of board and card games.". It is considered unreliable by Board games WP (Wikipedia:WikiProject_Board_and_table_games/Sources#Unreliable) and self-published in related RSN discussions: 1, 2. So right now I very much doubt we are meeting the requirement of being covered in-depth by reliable sources. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:22, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Users could submit anything to slashdot, but what got posted was decided by moderators. If Zonk posted it, Zonk was site staff at the time it was posted. Reviewing both sources, I don't see the discussion of other sources from those sites as normative: they read like RS'es, and I'm not accepting uncritically others' criticism of the sites.

It has a couple of notable former pupils and a notable head. It was part of the Militant-influenced school reorganisation of the 1980s, with its closure or merging squashed by Keith Joseph.

However it is a secondary school that has been in existence since 1922, serves a community with an enrolment close to 1,000. It seems likely that a school of that size and that age is notable.

Merge into the Yolo county California article. WP:Geoland#Settlements and administrative regions states that only legally recognized places are presumed notable. Non-legally recognized places such as Ronda, must meet WP:GNG in order to be considered notable. In particular Ronda fails Wikipedia:Notability#SUSTAINED, I also believe that previous discussion indicates that Ronda fails WP:NRV as well. policy guidance given in both WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND are that such articles should be merged into the article that covers the notable administrative area that contains it.

  • Keep: Manish meets the ANYBIO due to the following reasons:
  1. He received a National Award from the Government of India through President Ram Nath Kovind and the Champions of Change Award from the Telangana state for his work in cardiovascular innovations and drug delivery devices.
  3. He is a pioneer in developing the world's first sirolimus-drug coated balloon named MagicTouch, which has earned him widespread recognition and accolades. The media, both nationally and internationally, has extensively discussed this.
  5. The product was granted the Breakthrough Device designation and IDE approvals from the USFDA for treating superficial femoral arteries (SFA).[30] Extensively studied globally in various clinical trials, such as the Eastbourne registry, Nanolute, and ongoing trials like Transform 1, Transform 2, Ginger, Titan, and Hybrid Bifurcation DEB.
  7. Dr. Martin Leon, founder of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation and leads the IDE trials, said that the "FDA approval for the MAGICAL-SV clinical trial using the MagicTouch sirolimus-covered balloon with nanolute technology is a significant milestone in their ongoing effort to find the best therapy for managing patients with small vessel coronary obstructive disease."[31]
  9. the company received a substantial $60 million funding from Kiran C Patel, a renowned cardiologist and businessman, specifically for conducting clinical studies on cardiac devices.[32]
  11. MagicTouch is currently the only globally approved sirolimus-coated balloon with CE certification and with extensive commercial usage in Europe, major markets of Asia and the Mid-Eastern markets. More than 100 thousand patients have been treated with MagicTouch SCB in these markets.[33]
  13. It is the most extensively studied sirolimus-coated balloon for peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment and is the focus of ongoing clinical studies in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Brazil.[34][35]

Device might be notable, he likely isn't. Being FDA certified isn't notable, it's needed to sell medical items in the USA. The award could be notable, but there are no sources outside of press releases about the event. Oaktree b (talk) 21:28, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes @Oaktree b:, the individual has received several noteworthy awards such as Champions of Change, a national award by the Government of India, an Honorary Doctorate, Marico Innovation Foundation's Innovation for India Award. These awards were given for his pioneering work in nanotechnology-based drug delivery for cardiovascular devices. Here are sources to verify these awards 1 2, 3. With these awards, the individual meets the first criterion of WP:ANYBIO (The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times).
He is widely recognized for developing the world’s first Sirolimus Coated Balloon as well as a Sirolimus Eluting Stent, known as MagicTouch, used for the treatment of DM and AMI. MagicTouch is the only globally approved sirolimus-drug-coated balloon with CE certification, widely used in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. It holds the exclusive Breakthrough Device designation from the USFDA. Moreover, Dr. Martin Leon, founder of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation and leads the IDE trials, said "FDA approval for the MAGICAL-SV clinical trial using the MagicTouch sirolimus-covered balloon with nanolute technology is a significant milestone in their ongoing effort to find the best therapy for managing patients with small vessel coronary obstructive disease."5. The company reportedly holds more than 100 patents for its technology and products globally and is the only company currently with the most clinically studied Sirolimus-coated balloon with long follow-up in Coronary and Peripheral. it received the National Technology Award from the Indian Government. An article in Outlook Business 6, provides detailed coverage of Dr. Doshi and MagicTouch. These achievements highlight the individual's notable contributions to the medical sector, meeting the WP:ANYBIO's second criterion (The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field). VikingsKhan (talk) 15:57, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again, the device is likely notable, he doesn't appear to be. The awards are fine, but we have little sourcing about them. The first one you've shared is fine, the second I can't open, the third is a press-release. Even above you continually mention how notable the device is. Oaktree b (talk) 16:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b: The second link is an Indian-based website and may not be accessible in your country. However, any editors from India would be able to open it up. I have added an archived version of the same website here, and maybe you will be able to access it to verify the Champions of Change award that this person won.

Fails WP:CFORK. Mentioned in Constable#India. CPO and Constable are the same, difference is only in the name. CPO is the designation/post name of cops in the rank of constable in Kerala state. Similarly, in Kerala, the Superintendent of Police (SP) ranking officer holding the post of head of a police district is designated as District Police Chief (DPC), while in other states the post is synonymous with the rank itself, the Director General of Police (DGP) is also designated as State Police Chief (SPC).

As per this 2011 Kerala govt circular, the designation of members of Kerala Civil Police Officers of the rank of Constable serving in the District Police is changed as "Civil Police Officer" and those of the rank of Head Constable serving in the District Police is changed as "Senior Civil Police Officer".

As per another circular (H), Any person appointed in the ranks of Constable and Head Constable in the KCP will, while working in District Police, be designated Civil Police Officer and Senior Civil Police Officer respectively.

Additionally, the article is also largely based on WP:OR, with scarce WP:SIGCOV on the internet. The Doom Patrol (talk) 11:58, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Civil Police Officer article should not be deleted from the Wikipedia article because the Constable rank, colloquially known as CPO, is prevalent in the latest movies, articles, and news. There is confusion among non-Keralites regarding CPO or Civil Police Officer, and this article helps primarily non-Keralites. In popular culture, the term CPO is more commonly used, making it relevant for inclusion on Wikipedia and should not be deleted. Many people conduct Google searches for information about CPO, and the article is very helpful in that regard.Lastly, the Civil Police Officer is distinct from other state police forces, and it is more standard and modern than colonial terms. For your information, the Kerala Public Service Commission also uses Civil Police Officer (CPO) in their recruitment notifications. There are various ranks in the force, such as armed police constable, police constable (telecommunication), police constable (commando), etc. The Government of Kerala also uses the term Civil Police Officer. Therefore, please consider not deleting this article.Thank you.The Civil Police Officer article should not be deleted from wiki article, because the Constable rank colloquialy known as CPO.

"Even a Police Constable posted as a Civil Police Officer in District Police (Local Police) is officially known as a Civil Police Officer throughout their entire career.

  • Comment: I recieved a message on my talk page asking me to particpate here. I don't think it constitutes canvassing, as it was neutrally-worded and seems to have been sent indiscriminately to established ppl, but worth noting.

Jupiter, California[edit]

Jupiter, California (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Location that does not appear to be notable. Article was PRODded in 2020, but PROD was declined on the basis that the place is listed as "populated" by the USGS; as far as I can tell it was never brought to AfD for discussion. I can't find anything about this site other than passing mentions in mining, water resources, and forestry reports (same when I search for the name "Philadelphia Diggings", which may have been an early name for the site). This book: [39] might possibly have something, but it may be a work of fiction (I can't access the book to be sure). Without any solid evidence this was actually a populated place, it fails our criteria for notability of locations, and without significant coverage it fails WP:GNG. Probably this was just a non-notable mine. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 16:35, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: On further searching I note the name "Jupiter" did not appear on any USGS topographic map until 1948 (Columbia, CA, 1:62500)[40]; earlier maps show nothing at the site.WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 16:55, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: In the Internet Archive, I searched for the From the Backwoods of Old Tuolumne by Russell C. Grigsby, publsihed by Grigsby, 1943, the book mentioned by WeirdNAnnoyed. All I could find was a very short, scathing review of it that states, impart : It is not history-.... Being self-published (privately printed) disqualifies it from consideration as a source. Paul H. (talk) 17:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can point to Philadelphia Diggings in Tuolumne in an 1894 California State Geologist report. So that's definitely documented, although not nearly in depth enough for a standalone article. Hydraulic mining started in 1901 by the Stockton Gravel Mining Company, apparently, according to a contemporary trade magazine. Both Miller and the Guddes say that Jupiter is the Philadelphia Diggings. The water surveys are documenting Knights Creek and Eagle Creek, and don't even say what "Jupiter" is.

  • Delete - My searches, and especially the searches above lead me to the conclusion that this was just a mine, and any unincorporated community was the miners. Even accepting such existed, and that the community briefly mustered a post office , it would have no presumed notability per GEOLAND, and we would need sources to meet WP:GNG per nom. None found so it does not pass GNG. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:43, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete WP:Geoland#Settlements and administrative regions states that only legally recognized places are presumed notable. Non-legally recognized places such as Jupiter must meet WP:GNG in order to be considered notable. In particular Jupiter fails Wikipedia:Notability#SUSTAINED, I also believe that previous discussion indicates that Jupiter fails WP:NRV as well. policy guidance given in both WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND are that such articles should be merged into the article that covers the notable administrative area that contains it, but this appears to not be or never was a populated place so nothing to merge.James.folsom (talk) 02:00, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Warner Bros. Discovery-Paramount merger[edit]

Proposed Warner Bros. Discovery-Paramount merger (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Far too soon to warrant its own article. Title is a misnomer: neither company has officially proposed a merger, and now Zaslav is walking back or downplaying the gravitas of his talks with Paramount (source). All the information in this stub already comfortably resides in both the Paramount Global and WBD articles. Should be redirected, drafitied, or deleted. DigitalIceAge (talk) 23:44, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I agree that it is far too soon for its article, it's just proposed and hasn't happened yet LuxembourgBoy42 (talk) 03:44, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete At this point, it's merely a possibility. There isn't nearly enough traction to justify an article. Rickraptor707 (talk) 18:28, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: WP:TOOSOON right now, arguably is also a failure of WP:NOTNEWS. User:Let'srun 20:00, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Although it is merely speculation, it isn't uncommon for events that didn't occur to have their own page, an example being the page for Bojinka plot. It helps let people understand what has potential to occur. User:HaskeyM 20:28, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nope We're not going to compare the plan for a terrorist attack to an unconfirmed media merger. Are you absolutely kidding me?! Nate • (chatter) 20:43, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm with Nate on this one, you cannot be comparing a proposed merger to a planned terrorist attack. The terrorist attack deserves a page since it is notable, a planned merger than isn't official is not notable. For example, the planned Six Flags-Cedar Fair merger does not have a page LuxembourgBoy42 (talk) 16:36, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article was mostly written by the author himself and has no references. I could not find any mention of him in independent sources. It does not meet the criteria for notability, IMHO. Broc (talk) 00:04, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Couldn't find anything substantial about him, and so there is no indication of him passing WP:NAUTHOR. If anyone can find some sources about him, please ping me. KangarooGymnast (talk) 01:13, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The novels are documented in ISBN 9781844680269 in the entries for Stone Lewis and Sam Turner. However, I have found no independent sources for the author's life, nor a second source covering the novels. There are supposedly some contemporary book reviews, hinted at elsewhere, but the back catalogue search engine for the publication that supposedly published the book reviews turns up zero results.
