I don't think its AI, I think its just badly written by an individual for whom english isnt a first language. An LLM wouldn't make an obvious mistake like

"After criminal accusation, they also run gamble business as new source of income" 2601:204:C500:2B73:65FB:3852:434B:74D0 (talk) 00:10, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. No justification mentioned other than a hunch. No valid deletion criteria cited. (Is it notability? Copyright violation? Nominator didn't say.) Claims to be reported by Chinese Wikipedia users but no diff was provided. Failed to identify which part of the article was written by AI. As an FYI, I wrote and expanded most of the contents (including all of the "last half part"). The only sentence that seems questionable was added by an IP and the references cited do check out to be valid (i.e. no hallucination). We don't delete an entire article for one poorly written sentence. Very sloppy AfD nomination. I might even say this AfD was initiated by a robot given how poorly it was written and showed no understanding of the AfD process. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 01:43, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  As it turns out, nom was referring to the AI translated content on zh.wp (see discussion). Please initiate AfD for issues related to the Chinese entry on zh.wp. This AfD process is for en.wp. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 01:56, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It was rewritten on zhwiki (see page history). Nebulatria on zhwiki mentioned that there were sources having weak correlation with the article. But I don't think that's within the scope of AfD.  — 魔琴 (Zauber Violino) [ talk contribs ] 02:16, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per OhanaUnited. Notability is not an issue. Any content that doesn't match the sources due to AI hallucinations can simply be removed (unless there's nothing left in the article after that, which is clearly not the case), and sentences can always be rewritten. In fact, that was exactly what an editor did to zh:KK園區 in mid-January to save it from deletion. I assume that copyediting everything in the article is daunting for you, but nominating it for deletion straight away is not a wise move in my opinion. ItMarki (talk) 02:24, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notability stuff, it may be related to copyright of large language model generated stuff. DaqibaoQi (talk) 04:48, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The KNU has been under pressure over its alleged involvement in KK Park and other illegal activities, and has faced demands for the resignation of some of its senior members.[3] The resource is not mentioned that. DaqibaoQi (talk) 04:41, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

workers at KK Park are subjected to 17-hour workdays and are frequently spied on, tortured, and threatened with murder when attempting to flee the compound.[10][16] It only mentioned that「一些試圖逃跑的人被抓回後遭受了酷刑」 DaqibaoQi (talk) 04:43, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Passports and cell phones of workers were confiscated to prevent unmonitored communication with the outside world. The complex includes supermarkets, hospital, restaurants and hotels to form a closed community. Illegal organ harvesting was also reported to take place inside KK Park.[3] It only mentioned「妙瓦底的詐騙園區」沒收手機，but not mentioned「超市、醫院、餐廳、旅館等」 DaqibaoQi (talk) 04:54, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The KNU has announced that it will investigate five of its members accused of having connections with KK Park, and that it will cooperate with China and Thailand to rid the border area of crime.[17][3] is not same as resources. DaqibaoQi (talk) 04:55, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Hello everyone! I am the one who created the article. I have removed the self-sourcing parts and included only not self-sourcing sources. Mindvalley is indeed a notable company (look at their social media). Can you guide me please on what i need to edit for the article to be kept in wikipedia? I am new here and I really think i followed all the guidelines with my last edit. Thanks in advance all!Sofia Evangelidou (Sofia) 10:28, 7 March 2025 (CET)
• Much of the article at hand is unsourced and probably false. The cited sources for the few parts that supposedly are sourced range from a vague handwave at the top-level page of some celebrity WWW site that does not mention the subject at all through CEO interview puffery to outright false sourcing of supposed celebrity endorsements that make no mention of this whatsoever when checked. I don't know how Google Books has been manipulated into giving all sorts of celebrity books as a result, but a few spot checks reveal none of them actually mentioning this subject at all. I have no objection to Special:Diff/997465541 from the original edit history being restored to its rightful position in article space, but this other edit history is advertising masquerading as an encyclopaedia article. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 11:18, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Ok, then i suppose i have to start over since it's considered promotional. If possible, i could do some more edits though and re-consider deletion. Also, regarding "as the original article has been draftified, yet the creator ignored that. They should not be rewarded for edit warring. Janhrach (talk) ", I didn't have the "move" option then, so i just started over and created a new one. I will delete the draft. Sofia Evangelidou (Sofia) 10:28, 7 March 2025 (CET)
  • You don't get to vote twice. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:23, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I removed it - can you help me on what more i can edit to avoid deletion? Sofia Evangelidou (talk) 13:31, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I have restored the struct-out keep; striking out is sufficient, see WP:TALK#REVISE. Janhrach (talk) 13:54, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  This article almost certainly will be deleted. You can work on the draft and the submit it to WP:AfC. (See Wikipedia:AFCREVIEW.) (Note however that the ANI discussion still hasn't been closed.) Janhrach (talk) 13:59, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are several things here worthy of saying.

  First, when I draftified the article, I did not intend you to move it on your own back to mainspace after edits, but to submit it to WP:AfC, preferably after discussion with the editor who blanked it. Okay, this could be my failure to communicate clearly.

  Next, I failed to notice that when you restored the article, it was not (missing word added 14:47, 7 March 2025 (UTC)) identical to the blanked version. This was partly because I did not pay enough attention, and partly because you failed to fill the "edit summary" box when restoring it. But let us compare the different restorations:

  1. [1] – (original creation vs. the first restoration) – no difference
  2. [2] – (first vs. second restoration) – significant phrasing changes, promo toned down, but still is promotional, and sourcing is still insufficient.
  3. [3] – (2nd vs 3rd restoration) some primary sources removed, without any replacements.
  4. [4] – (3rd vs 4th restoration) minor tone-down, a few primary sources removed (without replacements, again).

  You did not attemt to discuss the article, even after it has been labelled as promo several times, until this AfD has been opened. You did not improve sourcing at all.

  Third, do you have any COI to declare?

  Finally, we sign our comments using four tildes, i.e. putting "~~~~" at the end of a comment.

  —Janhrach (talk) 13:50, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you very very much Janhrach!

  1. I can work on the draft and submit for review after doing more edits - however, when i try to edit the source of the draft, i cannot see a "submit for review" or something similar as an option. Should i somehow use the "move" option to make it re-appear? Is there a way to just delete the draft and start over?

  2. Yes, indeed, i didn't fill the "edit summary" box - thanks for pointing out its importance, i was not aware that it's important to update it every time.

  3. I didn't know that we could start a discussion about the article - it was the first thing i'd do. I saw that it was labeled as COI and self sourcing, so i removed the self sourcing, edited and removed many parts and toned it down. I thought it would work but sadly it didn't so i am currently re-working on its content.

  4. I work in a Marketing agency and we want to create a wiki page for Mindvalley. Sofia Evangelidou (talk) 14:55, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  "I work in a Marketing agency and we want to create a wiki page for Mindvalley." Has Mindvalley engaged your agency to do this work? Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:05, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It was our initiative, proposal and idea. We believe Mindvalley needs a Wikipedia page and it should already have one, because it's an renowed company, and we decided to take the initiative to create one. Sofia Evangelidou (talk) 15:49, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Have you or anyone at your agency been in contract with Mindvalley or anyone associated with Mindvalley? Also, proposal to whom? Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:54, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The instructions for submitting are at WP:AFCREVIEW. You (It must be you, not me.) need to put {{subst:submit}} at the top of the draft.

  You need to disclose that you are paid. See WP:UPE and WP:PE. Undisclosed paid editing is prohibited by the Terms of Use and under some situations may be illegal. Janhrach (talk) 11:36, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you very much Janhrach!! I will start over since this will be deleted as far as i see and add {{subst:submit} and i will also read about how to add that i am paid in WP:UPE and WP:PE. I will also check how to start a discussion for an article because it would have solved many problems. Thanks again!! Sofia Evangelidou (talk) 19:15, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Hello @Janhrach & @Bgsu98:) Can I edit the Draft:Mindvalley i had created and submit it for review once ready, or do i have to wait for this article to be deleted first, so there won't be any confusion (they will have the same names). Thank you in advance!!Sofia Evangelidou (talk) 10:41, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Sofia Evangelidou is an SPA who has done nothing but edit-war, after repeated requests to stop. I don't know what the connection between the subject and the creator is, but based on actions, there must be an undisclosed conflict of interest. "I work in a Marketing agency and we want to create a wiki page for Mindvalley," are her exact words. And although I was born on a Monday, I wasn't born last Monday. This is exactly the sort of offer of paid editing that I warned you all about at the last Wikimedia event in Brooklyn that is one of the greatest risks to us. This is exactly the sort of thing that will get our charitable status yanked faster than an exploding SpaceX rocket. The argument to keep because the newbie merely didn't know any better is untenable in 2025. Everybody knows that we are not a free social media platform after 24 years. Administrators have a fiduciary duty to protect us, in this case by salting the article and permanently blocking the user. Yes, I'm willing to die on this hill. Bearian (talk) 02:50, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  In some aspects I agree with you, in some aspects I agree less, but I don't find it implausible that the requests to stop could have been construed as requests to rework the article. Janhrach (talk) 11:12, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is absolutely a WP:BROCHURE, and there's nothing else that really needs to be said about it. I see no evidence of notability, and even if this company was notable, there's nothing in this article worth saving - it's just too far gone. MediaKyle (talk) 23:20, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Messy and confusing combination of risk factor and social determinants of health with psychology's concept of risk-seeking and some WP:COATRACK about COVID. Sourcing doesn't justify a medical concept of "high-risk person". Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 22:20, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I support a merge into risk factor. Looking back, this article was intended to be a Risk factors for COVID-19 which is now a redirect. - Wil540 art (talk) 22:41, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete "High-risk" means a lot of different things in different contexts, even within public health. "Risk factor" is a far more general term, so I don't see the use of a merge to that article.

• Yes merge. Or delete. Jim.henderson (talk) 02:55, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: WP:TNT is needed here since this article is a WP:OR based on one reading of "high-risk persons". There is another use of the term to talk about people who pose high risks to others, for which the term "high risk population" or similar phrases are used in criminology (see [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] -- for a small sampling). I don't mind if the content is merged to page where COVID risk factors are discussed, but this term should not be redirected there since it is used for several different purposes and we are WP:NOTDICT.

CSP played an interesting role in the psychedelic revival of the 2000s.

Cannot find any evidence of WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources that significantly focus on him (except for a few paragraphs in a single New Yorker article). As it stands, this article fails WP:GNG because I cannot find any evidence that he, or his crimes, had any lasting relevance that is not simply routine coverage.

Article topic fails WP:ORG. BC Vision is a registered political party and is technically active, but it has not fielded any candidates since 2013. Expectedly, I found no in-depth coverage (or coverage at all) in reliable sources. Results-wise, the party has been (was?) quite unsuccessful even by minor party standards, garnering less than a tenth of a percent of the popular vote in the 2013 general election and less than a quarter of a percent in the 2013 by-election in Kelowna West.

This is not the subject of WP:SIGCOV. Despite the WP:REFDUMP here, all substantial coverage appears to derive from WP:PRIMARY and other non-WP:RS such as youtube, reddit, chats, wikis, and Wikipedia itself.

Résumé-like WP:BLP of a "knowledge management expert", not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria.
As always, people are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they have jobs, and have to show evidence of passing WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage about them and their work to establish its significance -- but this is referenced to a podcast interview in which he's doing the speaking (a primary source that does not constitute support for notability at all) and a single piece in a digital news platform of at best questionable reliability or GNG-worthiness given the longstanding WP:NEWSORGNIGERIA problem with checkbook journalism.

The vast majority of citations in this article are to the article author's self published book (see comment here). Most of the rest are other self-published sources, whitepapers and such, from 'Emerson Automation Experts' or employees of Emerson in other venues. What remains are cites (such as 'Control Global' or 'OnePetro') that do not mention the topic of the article. I've looked and haven't turned up any better sourcing, and the author of the article has stated on my user talk that their self-published book is the only one on this topic and there is 'not much out there' otherwise. Since we have very few (1, I think) reliably published sources - and no sources independent of Emerson automation - It would appear this topic does not meet WP:GNG and ought to be deleted.

Thank you very much for the Insite and discussion. I am new to Wikipedia and I am learning.   I am reading through the Conflict of Interest material on Wikipedia, WP:COI  WP:GNG , WP:REFSPAM.  Please give me some time to read through those and I will get back to you.

I will stand by that my sources are reliable, even though there is a potential conflict of interest.   Also I am retired from Emerson, and nobody makes a significant amount of money from an engineering reference book.

I appreciate that you are saying that Wikipedia requires multiple sources for reference.   I would hope that there is a means to introduce new things to Wikipedia so that people can learn about them and grow knowledge in that area.  This technology has been siloed in a few companies  for many years, so as mentioned not much out there. It has great potential for benefit to humanity, through improved safety and productivity.

As Dow Chemical mentioned in reference 2, this technology enabled health and safety, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars.

It is also a type of automation that fosters human automation partnership.  So, offers a lot to learn on how to deal with AI. It is a very worthwhile topic.

To my knowledge there is at least one other book on the topic in progress, and in time I am sure there will be more.

This is something that people in industry should know about, and I hope we can find a way for the article to stay.  If not in its present form, then maybe some modified form. ProcessControlEng (talk) 19:20, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not here to get the word out about what 'people in industry should know about', see WP:NOTSOAPBOX. Whether citations are reliable or not is only part of the equation here - Wikipedia also needs them to be independent, and every source we have so far that is on topic is related to yourself and/or Emerson. MrOllie (talk) 19:26, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG

"A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

From the above statement I take that Wikipedia articles are only suitable for well-established topics.  There is simply not much available on the topic of State Based Control. I accept that Wikipedia is not the place for the article. ProcessControlEng (talk) 02:46, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a band, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The attempted notability claims here are the existence of singles and EPs (where NMUSIC requires full-length albums), airplay on the local radio station in their own hometown (where NMUSIC requires playlisting on national networks, not just individual commercial radio stations), and having been booked to play a cancelled local music festival (where NMUSIC requires a national tour that actually happens) -- and the article is referenced entirely to a mixture of primary sources, which are not support for notability, and purely local coverage in their own hometown, which is not sufficient to demonstrate more than strictly local notability. The only more than local source present at all is used solely to verify the cancellation of the festival, and does not constitute support for the notability of The Noolands.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the band from having to have a stronger notability claim than just existing, and better sourcing for it than just a small handful of hometown coverage in Barrie's community hyperlocals. Bearcat (talk) 19:40, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gourd Creek (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)

This article has previously been redirected per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gourd Creek and per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mill Creek (Little Piney Creek tributary). It has recently been restored with one change: the addition of this source here. The issue with this source is that it never talks about Gourd Creek, even in passing , and that the extrapolation of the relation of this Gourd Creek Cave to the creek is, strictly speaking, WP:OR.

post-nom edit There is now a second additional source here but only with passing mentions and thus irrelevant for determining notability. As I commented below, , the excerpts are on 24-25 (only half of a sentence on the latter page) and 34 of the PDF, which correspond to 36-37 and 46 of the Commons file. The mentions on p.46 are demonstrably in passing, and so aren't relevant for determining notability. The former excerpt places Gourd Creek in relation to certain caverns, which is also a passing mention.

As these changes are irrelevant, we return to the reasoning given in the previous AfDs to redirect this page; I'd like to quote, additionally, WP:GEONATURAL: for example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river. Iseult ^Δx talk to me 17:38, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I reverted the redirect because it was done without respect to the fundamental purpose of Wikipedia: information. Specifically, the redirect was not accompanied with the corresponding merge of information, resulting in a piece of unreferenced info in the target article. I expanded it beyond information available except name and location. The accusation in OR is plain ridiculous, but I added a ref with no less than from Smithsonian, which directly link the creek and the cave --Altenmann >talk 17:57, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A malformed redirect does not call for overturning an AfD. The proper thing to do is to then add references to the target article. I understand that this article has, for some reason, been a flashpoint. Now, the Smithsonian ref added after I nominated this page. As it happens, it directs to a pdf download which is malformed on my system; could you quote the relevant parts? I'll strike the OR if proved. Iseult ^Δx talk to me 18:15, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

<shrug>A ridiculous anti-AGF statement; buy yourself a better system I could have said, but whatever. The work is by Gerard Fowke (1855-1933), so it is in public domain. I will upload it to commons. --Altenmann >talk 18:39, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

<hah>, it was already there: File:Bulletin_(IA_bulletin761922smit).pdf. --Altenmann >talk 18:47, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. A malformed redirect does call for the revert of a sloppy edit. Improper edits are reverted all the time. is to then add references, well, I made a different decision and implemented it. --Altenmann >talk 18:42, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! For reference, the excerpts are on 24-25 (only half of a sentence on the latter page) and 34 of the PDF, which correspond to 36-37 and 46 of the Commons file. The mentions on p.46 are demonstrably in passing, and so aren't relevant for determining notability. The former excerpt places Gourd Creek in relation to certain caverns, which is also a passing mention. I've struck the OR mention and have changed my nomination statement.

Regarding your other comments, I'm intrigued that you said that you could have made a flippant remark and chose to do it anyways. I don't see where I'm not AGF-ing, and the system comment isn't productive. In re the reversion, given that the consensus at AfD was to redirect the page, categorizing the redirect as an improper edit certainly is something. I appreciate your fait accompli, and that, I suppose, is what this discussion is for. Iseult ^Δx talk to me 19:06, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with your "mention in passing" judgement. First, the Smithsonian source gives a number of important details about the creek, so you cannot call it simply "mention". Of course, the main subject is not the creek. Second, the description of the notable things found by the river is certainly relevant information. Certainly we will not write a separate article for each cairn found there, so IMO this page is a natural place to describe them; just look at Mississippi_River#Native_Americans. --Altenmann >talk 19:30, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I had a researcher's fun digging for information about this "Nothing Gulch" and realize that my position may be biased by a kind of "ownership feeling", so I am recusing from further discussion here per WP:COI :-) --Altenmann >talk 20:20, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, what you call important I call routine. But I trust the community to have a healthy discussion about this and for the community to abide by the consensus found here. Iseult ^Δx talk to me 20:18, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • The stream is named and shown on USGS topo maps plus it passes under a US highway. Per WP:NGEO: A feature cannot be notable, under either WP:GNG or any SNG, if the only significant coverage of the feature is in maps, though rare exceptions may apply. In other words, maps contribute nothing to notability. I see no reason that passing beneath a US highway (or any other kind) should have any bearing on notability, and certainly no such exception is made in the NGEO guideline. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:00, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge, obviously. I don't want to delete the information, and I resent the implication that my original redirect was in any way malformed or in opposition to Wikipedia's purpose. I do think that a few passing mentions do not demonstrate the kind of notability that demands the creek have its own article. Whether we merge it back up to Little Piney Creek (Missouri) or to an as-yet-created Gourd Creek Cave article, I don't care. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:00, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Oregon Zoo as an alternative to deletion. It's only mentioned within the context of the Zoo. It's a really cool sculpture, but I can't find any indication whatsoever that it is notable itself within a fine art or art historical context, aside from being in Smithsonian's database of public sculptures, and a mention in a book authored by his wife about the sculptor's life and work, which is a non-independent source. The current sourcing only mentions the sculpture within the context of the zoo. A WP:BEFORE search finds no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. In addition to the Oregon Zoo target article, some of the content can also be used to improve the Richard Beyer article (the sculptor who made the work.)

The Oregon Zoo's own website doesn't mention it and I can't even find a photo of it on Google or Flickr besides the low-res one on the Smithsonian database, so notability is not at all shown. Artworks aren't notable or need a separate page just because we have other articles about their location, artist, subject (nope, the newly written article is about the subject's father) or thematic topic (none of which are particularly long).

• Delete - Beyond being a clear failure of the WP:GNG and a very half-baked attempt at an article, the truth that is this is too narrow of a genre to support these sorts of articles in the first place. 2025 in hip hop music is sustainable. 2025 in crunkcore is not. Something like 2025 in electronic music is probably do-able, but these articles take a lot of effort to get going. If anyone is serious about that, it would realistically require a lot of time in the WP:DRAFT space.

• Keep There was no sig cov present in the article, true, and it really wasn't in great shape (And a big thank you to Myotus for helping to spruce it up!). However, there's a lot out there. A quick search brought me to these news articles ("Ellis Bird Farm celebrates 20 years of the Blue Feather Award" from 2019, "Ellis Bird Farm staff and volunteers are celebrating 35 years" from 2017, "Bluebird heaven is close at hand" from 1997, among others (Representative sample:[14][15][16][17][18] [19])). These sources are diverse enough to satisfy the geographic broadness criterion of WP:NCORP, they're in-depth, and they're independent. Additionally, while I haven't had a chance to dig in too much further, there's also a fair few hits in Google Books and Proquest that I'm going to look at to try and expand the article. Interestingly, looking at platforms like Google Scholar and Jstor reveal that the bluebirds of this sanctuary have been studied in academic journals; that's not sigcov of the corporation in the traditional sense, but it points to its relevance to an encyclopedia. (representative sample: [20][21]) The North American Bluebird Society apparently did a piece on Ellis Bird Farm's history in their journal in 1986 that could be good for potentially expanding the early history. I'll have a go at adding these to the article once I have the chance. But these should show that it clearly passes the GNG. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 01:56, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. This is a recently promoted draft; the draft version was very badly sourced, and what you see instead as the nominated version is my attempt at cutting back the excessive calculations and proofs and providing adequate sourcing for it. I used 19th-century mathematics textbooks as sources, not because this is 19th-century mathematics, but because those are easier to use in finding online but reliable sourcing for basic and obvious statements in mathematics. The draft author disagreed with my cuts but unfortunately has been temporarily blocked for incivility so cannot yet comment here. Some of this material is already present at Trapezoid#Midsegment and height but with even less detail and worse sourcing (MathWorld). —David Eppstein (talk) 08:54, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think that replacing the content currently in the nominated article by a pointer to a worse exposition of the same material, with worse sources, buried in the middle of the trapezoid article, is an improvement. In any case by initiating this AfD you have already moved past the point where deciding on your own to perform WP:BLAR would be ok; instead, we have to wait for the outcome of the discussion to determine what to do. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:20, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@VolatileAnomaly It was intended to redirect the article. What I meant "possibly to be deleted instead" is when the article has fewer sources supporting it and too short content, it will be deleted, so the only option is to redirect to the article Trapezoid.

Volatile and Dedhert, can you please explain why a stub-length article with three book sources and with all content footnoted to all three source has too few sources for its content and why you think that means it should be deleted?

• Comment SteveLosive, the creator of this article, has responded on their talk page: A theorem about a trapezoid shouldn't be included with the Trapezoid article because that's an article about the shape in general. The Pythagorean Theorem isn't merged with the Triangle article. The Median of the Trapezoid theorem is meant to be purely metric and it's about finding the length of the median through a formula. It's a separate study and it even includes finding the median of a parallelogram that is within a trapezoid. It's an extensive topic and that theorem has proofs and studies. — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 19:36, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SteveLosive (talk) 19:00, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete/Merge – covering this topic at Trapezoid § Midsegment and height seems sufficient. If need-be the discussion can be expanded there (sourcing, pictures, etc. can be improved there), but we don't need to include proofs of every geometry proposition in Wikipedia. I don't think this particular metric identity is independently notable or rich enough in connections to make a high quality article about, and readers are better served by improvements to Trapezoid. If the content expands beyond the capacity of Trapezoid to accommodate it, I would recommend making an article titled Midsegment of a trapezoid which could discuss other aspects and connections relevant to the midsegment, rather than having an article focused exclusively on this particular identity. –jacobolus (t) 17:15, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge only the bare statement of the theorem, not the elaboration and proof of the long version(s) of the elaborated article. Not independently notable and SteveLosive's edit warring to repeatedly reinstate their bad version of the article with unsourced material, likely-AI-written material, and bad sources (unreliable web pages that do not even mention trapezoids and textbooks without specific page numbers) is not helping. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Every part of the article is now meticulously cited. Had you exercised even a modicum of diligence in reviewing the revisions, you would have noticed this.
  2. I appreciate the inadvertent commendation of my writing prowess by likening it to "AI-writing." Flawless articulation is, after all, indistinguishable from machine precision. May you one day ascend to such a level of linguistic refinement, one unmarred by the clumsy missteps that so evidently plague your own discourse.
  3. You must decide, David: is it "unsourced," or are the sources merely "bad"? These are mutually exclusive assertions, and I suggest you settle on a single fallacy before proceeding.
  4. Your fixation on an explicit mention of "trapezoids" is an exercise in intellectual laziness. Allow me to simplify: citing a paper on rectangles in an article about squares does not nullify its relevance. I trust you can extrapolate from this rudimentary analogy.
  5. Lastly, I have no intention of allowing you to cannibalize my work, superficially rephrase it, employ your bespoke search methodologies to retrofit sources, and then christen it with an eponymous title, much as you did with Ccalmen’s work before masquerading it as “Eppstein’s algorithm.”

  SteveLosive (talk) 18:53, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I have named nothing "Eppstein's algorithm"; any such names were bestowed by other people. And I have no idea who or what you are referring to by "Ccalmen".

  A source not mentioning trapezoids is very much relevant to the question of whether it is a valid source for claims that are specifically about trapezoids. If the claims can be stated in a more general way that better fits the source, then this is not really the article in which those claims belong. To put it another way, a source saying that the study of the properties of quadrilaterals is important is a bad source for a claim that this specific property of trapezoids is important; it doesn't logically follow.

  As for the rest: I think you also need to read WP:OWN, because you are acting very much as if you do not understand it. Nothing here is or should be your work: if you think you are making original contributions to the subject, or that other editors ought to respect the integrity of your writing and leave it unchanged, then you are on the wrong web site. The existence of 19th-century sources strongly suggests that belief in originality of this material is mistaken. (This is the kind of thing that could have been in Euclid, but apparently wasn't). —David Eppstein (talk) 21:48, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Ccalmen's K shortest path routing that you later on called Eppstein's algorithm on your own Wikipedia article.

  Thing is I do understand WP:OWN, but do you? Also, despite having no ownership over what you publish / edit on Wikipedia, it is still very unethical to do what you do.

  Above all that, your "contributions" to Median of the trapezoid theorem were objectively vandalizing the article, and I simply keep an eye on it because of my passion towards the topic, nothing more, nothing less.

  P.S. Please be responsible and don't say things like "any such names were bestowed by other people", it's in your very own article, it's under your name, then it's your responsibility. Since you have so much time ruining other articles, maybe you should've focused on "your" article. Furthermore, it's funny to me how you talk about WP:OWN while claiming ownership of an article, saying "my Wikipedia article" instead of "a Wikipedia article about me" to acknowledge the "other people" you mentioned. SteveLosive (talk) 07:44, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It would be difficult to parse through the many layers of confusion here but just to start with the most basic: the article David Eppstein is a biography of the person David Eppstein, written by other people. (David has made a very small number of edits to it, mostly reverting vandalism, and none since June 2012.) The algorithm that people call "Eppstein's algorithm" was published in 1998. All edits to Wikipedia by User:Ccalmen happened in December 2012, and the version of the Wikipedia article K shortest path routing as written by Ccalmen correctly attributed work to the people who did it (this is the version of the article they wrote). The redirect page Eppstein's algorithm was not created by David Eppstein and has never been edited by him. Are there any other misconceptions I can help you with? JBL (talk) 17:43, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you for the clarification, but I was just calling out David Eppstein for his alleged hypocrisy. SteveLosive (talk) 20:18, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Is English your native language? You are the (only) person alleging hypocrisy, are the substantive basis of your allegation is hopelessly confused. --JBL (talk) 20:20, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm sad about this because a lot of people have obviously spent a lot of time on this, but my feeling is currently: Merge the diagram that shows visually what the median looks like, into Trapezoid#Midsegment_and_height (visual pictures explaining geometrical concepts are really useful to visual readers), but delete the current article (or make it a redirect if you want). David Eppstein's cut-down version doesn't contain anything more than is in the main Trapezoid article, so there's no point to it. The current longer version differs principally from the short by containing two proofs and a historical context section. The historical context basically states the obvious, that four-sided figures have been important to geometry for a long time, something that belongs in the main trapezoid article as it applies to every aspect of trapezoids, not just the median. The coordinate proof just states that if you work out the coordinates using schoolkid maths, the middle is the average of the top and bottom, and leaps straight to the result, so I'm not sure what reader it would actually help. The proof as a corollary of the mid-point theorem is currently sourced to a book review, which says of the intended source: "There is no apparent reason why this book should either have been written or be read: it falls surprisingly below its authors' usual standard. Even the diagrams are slovenly." a situation that doesn't inspire confidence (the book would have cost you 12 shillings and sixpence back then, too - that's what "12s. 6d." means). So if this proof is to be kept, I'd urge editors wanting it kept to find a better source. Elemimele (talk) 17:46, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I very much agree with you! I also admire your critical yet constructive take.

  The formula, the equations, and diagram(s) should be kept for visual readers as well as how they help define the theorem in general.

  The historical context should be merged, as I previously added it as a filler to make the article more rich with information.

  As for the proof, I'm not the original editor of it, but I did my best finding a source for it. Thing is, I published this article as a stub and it still is a stub, it's technically not anywhere near complete. I also might disagree on merging it due to it being a theorem. Usually every theorem needs its proofs and it could include things not directly linked/related to trapezoids.

  Is it fit to be a separate article? Not yet.

  Does it need more work to make it bigger? Absolutely.

  Should it be entirely merged? I don't think that's a good idea, but it's not the worst either. SteveLosive (talk) 20:34, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  There is never a justification for making an article "bigger" when its central point is mere bluster, and the rest of it just duplicates another article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:41, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  You're a biology guy, so don't go around calling well-founded mathematical theorems "mere bluster" as it just makes you lose credibility.

• To reiterate my position without a new bold !vote: I believe that the basic statement that the midsegment is the average of the sides should be stated in the trapezoid article as it already was, with better sources than it was. I don't see a need for a separate article, I don't see a need for providing proofs, and I don't see a need for a paragraph of bluster about how quadrilaterals are important. So the only things potentially worth saving from the nominated article are its sources and its lead image. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:49, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge, there is nothing in this article that justifies a separate article from Trapezoid, specially per David Eppstein's clear explanations above. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:39, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Trapezoid#Midsegment_and_height: From the incorrect venue nomination, to the edit warring, heated comments, and aspersions cast, I agree with Star Mississippi that this whole nomination has been a trainwreck to the point where I almost feel the need to apologize for kickstarting this mess. I initially wanted to stay neutral, but now I will make a bolded !vote per above to try and put things to rest. Yes, I added the corollary proof with a source that David Eppstein provided, but now I'm starting to see that it doesn't offer much to the topic. — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 02:49, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I looked for biographical sources, and there just aren't any. This person's software is documented, not least by this person. ☺ But this person xyrself is not. Which is why the article gives almost half its length to expect and in the other half has claims that I cannot source. For example, the claim to being first to port a piece of software is not sourceable. The original paper is silent on whether it was the first, and no-one else appears to have recorded it as such since. I cannot find a source that doesn't come from Wikipedia that records this person doing this at all, the available sourcing on this person's work being that poor.

  In fact, only people named Don Libes have written about Don Libes, everywhere.

  Excluding books where the author is Don Libes outright, I found a CRC Press book with a potted biography that looked promising, until I saw "Prepared by Don Libes." at the foot of the text. The person who wrote what Wikipedia now has is Donlibes (talk · contribs), replacing a much shorter article — which was, it transpires, written by Don Libes, since it was copied from xyr NIST autobiography (Don Libes BIO at the Wayback Machine (archived 2007-05-02)) with first-person pronouns replaced by third person.

  It is impossible, as we can see, for anyone to write a biography if one isn't one of these Don Libeses, which isn't how Wikipedia works. ☺

Homeland Party (United Kingdom) (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)

I do not believe this party is relevant enough to merit its own page, and in my view it should be deleted. I can see the arguments for merging some parts of the page with the Patriotic Alternative's page or the page of Homeland's leader, but the page in its present state provides few reliable sources to see the keeping of much of the information on Wikipedia.

• Regarding the sources of the page, there is little actual coverage of the party, with some talking about historic links of the individuals involved and several mentioning the party just in passing. Furthermore, out of the 30 sources in the article, 13 are primary sources, with some sections of the page solely built off press releases directly from the party.
  
• Of the actual coverage of the party, the only direct national coverage has been a single article in The Times. Other coverage has been by minor or partisan/activist group publications.
  
• Regarding the party's relevance in politics, at most it has seen the defection of a singular district councillor (and potentially some parish councillors, but this is unclear. The only election they stood in with this councillor saw them lose substantially.

• I disagree with the proposed deletion of the Homeland party’s Wikipedia page, as the arguments presented do not sufficiently demonstrate a lack of notability under Wikipedia's guidelines.

  Homeland is an active UK political party with distinct leadership, policies, and electoral participation. While it is a relatively new organisation, notability is not solely dependent on electoral success but also on political activity and coverage.

  The party has seen the defection of an elected district councillor, which is a recognised political event. Even smaller parties with minimal representation have maintained Wikipedia pages, setting a clear precedent for Homeland's inclusion.

  The party has received coverage from The Times, a major national publication, which is a strong indicator of notability. Additional media sources also mention the party, and while some may reference historical links of individuals involved, that does not diminish the relevance of the party itself.

  While primary sources should not form the bulk of an article, they are not inherently invalid—many Wikipedia pages on political parties include primary sources to explain their structure and policies. The correct approach should be improving citations and expanding secondary source coverage, rather than deletion.

  Homeland is a distinct political organisation with its own identity, leadership, and activities. Merging with Patriotic Alternative would misrepresent the party’s autonomy.

  The suggestion to merge it with the leader’s page is also unsuitable, as that page (if it exists) is meant to cover the individual’s biography rather than serve as a substitute for a political party’s page.

  Rather than deletion, the better course of action is to improve the article by incorporating additional secondary sources where necessary. The party meets Wikipedia’s general standards for political notability, and its presence in UK politics, however limited is still verifiable and noteworthy. 82.38.150.83 (talk) 16:57, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why do these lengthy rambling rationales always end with paraphrases of that "incorporating additional secondary sources" without pointing to any? Is there an LLM that has been trained to churn this stuff out or something? So far in this discussion, people have acknowledged one single substantial source, an article in The Times. The threshold for notability is multiple in-depth independent sources. Uncle G (talk) 01:54, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• The nomination describes The National and The Herald as minor or partisan/activist group publications when they appear to in fact be mainstream national newspapers for Scotland. The Mackay and Morrison articles are on-point and in-depth, too. So with the already acknowledged The Times article, that's three sources, independent of one another and even citing sources of their own that are different to one another, that were already there.

I am nominating this article for deletion because it don't prove the notability of the subject, Utsav Bharat , as required by Wikipedia's notability guideline for television channels WP:NTV and the general notability guideline WP:GNG. The article lacks reliable, independent sources that provide significant coverage of Utsav Bharat itself. The sources currently cited in the article are about Star Bharat, a different channel[24]. This means there is no verifiable evidence to support the existence or notability of Utsav Bharat as a separate entity. A redirect to Star Bharat might be appropriate.

Socialist Janata Dal (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)

I couldn't find enough reliable independent sources with WP:SIGCOV to establish notability for this political party. I note that searching is tricky because socialist Janata Dal (where the adjective socialist describes Janata Dal) and Socialist Janata Dal (a splinter group of Janata Dal I think) are effectively the same thing to search engines! It is possible that there are decent sources not in English, and if they were added to the article I would willingly withdraw my nomination. I had previously redirected this article to List of Janata Dal breakaway parties but that has been widely contested by a COI editor and their related sock puppets in the past (see history), and now an IP user is reverting to the same poorly sourced material. Hence my nomination for deletion. I would support a redirect to List of Janata Dal breakaway parties but only if it were subject to extended-confirmed protection.

Could you provide me with a specific area where it does not meet the guideline?

Presumed - Reuters, Financial times etc have covered him

Significant coverage - Reuters, Financial times etc have covered him - a google search can find more info on him

Reliable - The content is largely based off the articles cited

Sources - Most sentences have one to two sources

Independent of the subject - None of the sources cited have been personally written by him WxProHaha (talk) 10:04, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. 594 hits on Swissdox makes it hard to choose what sources to link here. From the NZZ alone, Bollinger clearly meets the GNG. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Although his appointment was announced in the middle of 2024, he has only actually been CEO since 9 January 2025 (see link 4 above), so you can't really expect him to have tons of coverage unrelated to him being the new CEO...or can you? Links 1 and 2 above are actually not about his appointment as CEO! And from before his appointment, we have this interview with a short biography at the end [32] and several mentions in another article where he was interviewed as an expert [33]. Add to this that basically all of these stories and many more opinions have been covered in other outlets, like Reuters [34], this very in-depth piece in the Handelszeitung [35], Tages Anzeiger [36], and SRF [37].

• Keep but remove the Sabreliner. The nominator is correct that the only plane referred to by the moniker 'Sabre Jet' is the F-86. The F-100 is called a 'Super Sabre Jet' and the commercial plane is a 'Sabreliner'. However when the F86 and the F100 are referred to together they have been called 'Sabre Jets'. It is not unlikely that a reader looking for 'Sabre Jet' might be looking for the F-100. It is not particularly relevant to this discussion, but there is a not-yet-notable snowmobile called a 'Sabre Jet'. I agree that the F-86 is primary, so this page might be downgraded to (content restored to) Sabre Jet (disambiguation) and referenced by a hatnote at North American F-86 Sabre, with Sabre Jet becoming a redirect to the F-86.  --Bejnar (talk) 12:33, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  This one? "Our project is a multi-volume work which consists of more than 10 thousand annotations and footnotes. We are pleased to announce that, God-willing, this monumental work is scheduled to be published in 2025." This isn't an independent source, it is a press release from the publishers / translators.

• Which book? The unpublished book that the article at hand is pushing and telling us is coming out real soon now and is the first English translation, underneath a lengthy duplicate discussion of the Nahj al-balagha (which already has a translations section)? Or the published in 2024 English translation LCCN 2023-54675 by Tahera Qutbuddin? ☺

  The "prominent news website" turns out to be press releases from the organization founded by the (first) book's author, talking (10 days ago) in the future tense of "forthcoming publications" that have not happened yet, and that the world at large thus cannot possibly have independently documented outwith these autobiographical press releases.

  The Sayyid Amjad H. Shah Naqavi biography of a living person is cited almost entirely to autobiographical press releases, too.

• Euroavia is an international body of aeronautics students, one of its chief aims being "to foster a spirit of co-operation among the future members of the aircraft industry".

  — Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom (1964). Flight: The Aircraft Engineer. Vol. 86. IPC Transport Press Limited. p. 311.

  Euroavia is the Association of European Aeronautical Students, founded in Aachen in 1959, to foster social, cultural and professional links between students and thus engineers in Europe.

  — "Euroavia rides again!". Aerospace. Vol. 8. Royal Aeronautical Society. 1981. p. 5.

  Maybe it is the looking for recent sources in the World Wide Web for something founded in 1959 that is the problem. I can source that introductory sentence from 2 sources, which can replace the non-independent sources used for the same in this article. There appears to be non-English sourcing that should be investigated, too. There's something of some sort in a 1959 issue of Flugwelt. I suggest checking out the old aerospace industry magazines.

  This seems like the sort of page that was made and not really maintained because it is not a natural point around which to coalesce information. I would prefer that the information be added to the specific localities' pages, if possible, because I think that it would have some value and be more maintainable there. Alternatively, if someone were to come in and add coverage about Virginia fire departments as a subject, that would be fine; yet, I still think that the lists of departments and their equipment should live on the pages of the localities.

I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this biography of a climate activist, and added sources. I am not seeing significant coverage, however; most references are quotes from him about the various organisations with which he is involved. I do not think he is notable on the grounds of WP:GNG or of WP:ANYBIO. Note a recent addition of unsourced content here, which I reverted; without sources, which I have not found, I don't think there is much here contributing to notability.

Hi I would support maintaining this article as I can confirm that the person in question has made a significant contribution in particular to organising MPs at global level on climate change within the Climate Parliament.

• Weak delete. Per nom and Helpful Raccoon, I don't see how WP:SIGCOV and WP:ANYBIO are met. Most of the coverage in the article (and that I can find elsewhere outside it) doesn't really contribute to notability. In that almost all of it was written by the subject - or orgs with which the subject has an association. The others are in the "statements made by the subject in press releases" and direct interviews with the subject. Neither of which contribute to notability. That the article was created by an SPA/COI contributor (both here and on the DE Wikipedia) is also very difficult to overlook. (The AR Wikipedia equivalent was created by a bot...) Guliolopez (talk) 20:06, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I have responded below on the main points, but please note I am not the creator or author of the article. I have only been active here in the past two weeks: I reordered the article somewhat and rewrote the introductory sentence, added a sentence on the "Supergrids" in para 1, but otherwise my work has consisted in adding relevant references. NicolasTavitian (talk) 15:02, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: It's hard to see how the newly provided sources support notability. Interviews and sources created by Dunlop himself do not support notability. The only sources I would consider are the Planet Champions book and the Evening Post piece. In the Planet Champions book, the author profiles various people he met while working as an activist, so I don't think his coverage of Dunlop can be considered independent. I have no idea how much coverage the Evening Post piece contains, but a single source is not enough in any case. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 20:56, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Helpfulraccoon and @Guliolopez. I beg to differ on the quality or reliability of some of those sources. Being the object of a case study in an Open University course is an indication of impact (note 10 - the Open University is the largest university in the UK). The Time Magazine article (note 2) is actually signed by a staff journalist. The apparent signature on the internet version is a mistake, as the mag's paper copy attests. Coverage in Time Magazine is surely relevant as well. Both BBC interviews feature Dunlop. I'll specify the relevant time slot in the reference as requested (notes 3 and 4). I don't see on what basis the book (Planet Champions, note 6) should be dismissed; it is a study of exemplary and impactful activists. WP:NBIO for an activist is not publicity per se but documented evidence of impact (from multiple, independent and reliable sources). Activists or advocates do not necessarily seek publicity for themselves but for their cause or ideas. The references should therefore be expected to provide sufficient evidence that Dunlop is recognized as having made a (significant) impact. They should not be expected to show that he is widely known in the media or in the public. I have additional relevant references to add, including from the NYT & other national papers. I will do my best to do this in the next few days and to correct or complete existing references as suggested.NicolasTavitian (talk) 17:14, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have now solidly referenced all statements in the text, except for the last paragraph. I have found quite a few other sources, but did not see the point of crowding the text with redundant endnotes. I also did not want to add to the text at this stage. If WB:BIO is still considered unsatisfactory, I will need to add details to the text. The reference to the Indira Gandhi prize is problematic because there is a mistake on the site: they placed a photo of 1988 laureate next to the name of 1986 prize winners PGA instead of the picture of the year's recipients; the fact that Dunlop received the prize on behalf of the organisation is documented elsewhere however. I also could not find references, only campaign material, in connection with the statements on di Caprio and rock band Crosby, Stills and Nash. NicolasTavitian (talk) 20:02, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I spot checked the references, and found them lacking. For example, this BBC news source doesn't mention him at all. Why is it cited in the article if it's nothing to do with him? In conclusion, there just aren't enough substantial references, which those arguing to delete mentioned above. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:44, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  This is a reference to EarthAction's campaign with diCaprio. EarthAction, is the organisation he directed. Does that address your question? As I say, that sentence otherwise still lacks references regarding work with the band.

  Can you specify which other references, if any, your find lacking? NicolasTavitian (talk) 17:29, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Is the issue with the number of references? I can add more if that is the issue, there are plenty more. But I would have thought that the existing references in paragraphs 1 and 2 of the "career" section are now sufficient. NicolasTavitian (talk) 22:57, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is what I am saying. And that I consider the military articles to be relevant and reliable. I also see other sources, such as:

The first is a routine announcement and the other are mentions so they fall short of WP:CORPDEPTH imho.--CNMall41 (talk) 18:24, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is still the WSJ, NPR and the military sources. And here's another one relating to Cerego and BBC: [53]. I count this now as 5 sources.

• Keep: In addition to the NPR and Military.com sources I also found an article in New Scientist [54] through TWL. A small section of the article that I think shows its value, including a comment from someone else about the company and its science.

" "It's all very plausible and reasonable. They know their literature," says Ryan Baker, an educational technology researcher at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. "I haven't seen any commercial products that put together all these different things."

" Cerego doesn't yet have any published results to back up the claims made for the product. But Smith Lewis says they are working on this, and points to preliminary tests on language acquisition, run over five weeks at the University of Hawaii and reviewed by Cerego's scientific adviser, Jan Plass at New York University. In those tests, users improved their retention of factual material by a factor of three compared to a visually identical system that didn't run the spacing algorithm.

Additionally, this is a study[55] that used Cerego and spends a paragraph talking about it in what I think is their own words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moritoriko (talk • contribs) 01:19, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *about the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Some sources have been mentioned above but clearly, when examined through NCORP lens, they don't meet the criteria - for exampleL:

• This NPR article mentioned above relies entirely on a "partner" and the company's blog post sprinkled with some extra marketing blurb - fails both ORGIND and CORPDEPTH.
• The New Scientist article plainly relies entirely on the "launch" blurb for the company, repeating comments provided by the company and founder. Once you remove everything provided by the company, all that's left is the quote from Ryan Baker which says nothing about the company. Fails both CORPDEPTH and ORGIND.
• Perhaps it wasn't noticed about the military.com article but the article is written by customers/partners - therefore not independent, fails ORGIND.
• The BBC Bitesize article is - a PR announcement, fails ORGIND.

Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion. Delete. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:39, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm not sure about this one right now.
• I would argue that the quote from Ryan Baker says 2 things; Cerego is using actual science to make its product, and 2, the product is a novel product. And it is as independent as you can get (afai can tell)
• Military.com is not a partner of Cerego. It is a military focused news outlet but it is not run or operated by the US military. Therefore it is still independent.
• BBC Bitesize, rightfully, doesn't count.

Further more my other source, the study from Queensland, is 100% independent. Even if they state some things that are also stated by the company to do the research they would need to be familiar enough with the software that they are saying these things attributable to themselves. And unlike the t.u. Jazz source this one doesn't appear to be a partner either.

During that discussion the article was rewritten and renamed into the current article about the restaurant (while retaining the minimal content about Cawthon himself). While there was consensus at the time to retain the article in that form, that was 12 years ago and should not be indicative of whether or not it meets our 2025 standards (on that front, I have no opinion or comment).

This is a small local article but it says that one of the restaurants is located on the site of a former state prison which could be a section in the article [57].

• I am going to make a comment and sound a bit like a broken record in the process. For just shy of four years at various AfD nominations, I have pleaded with Philippines radio and TV topic area editors to up their game, asking for their three best sources, pleading with them to read the room and add more references, begging for higher source quality, hoping they will wait for a TV station to become notable before writing an article on it, and so on, and all my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Again, I exhort the people who work on these pages to get serious about either improving the quality of the sourcing in these articles or developing a plan to cull them when they can't meet the GNG. I understand and sympathize with the problems about source availability and even reliability, particularly for pre-internet topics.

All of the four sources are the *barest* possible passing mentions, zero are significant toward GNG. Just because chicken (fried/roasted/whatever) is, like many other foods, commonly served with chips/french fries does not mean that the combination is a specific dish that is notable or needs its own article. Unlike the well-established fish & chips, I am not finding sources that specifically discuss this as a notable set, just a parallel name. Nor do sources establish the mentioned "chicken and chip shops" is a specific thing, rather that shops that specialize in chicken also offer chips as a common side, and I don't think this is a necessary article.

I am just not seeing coverage that would make Arakawa notable enough for a separate biography from Gene Hackman. All coverage aside from some minor coverage from the 1970s and 80s (which doesn't substantiate notability on its own) is basically entirely about her relationship with Gene Hackman, and does not substantiate a separate notability.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Following the recent and still ogoing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/False document (2nd nomination) I was motivated to try to rescue that article (for result, see found manuscript, which seems to be the term used in literary studies - not sure if pseudobiblia wouldn't be more popular, however). But I also noticed we have the usual mess at fictional book. Surprisingly, I am not seeing that term used in RS in a way that meets WP:SIGCOV, although common-sense wise it would be a better place for this topic than the more esoteric terms I mentioned earlier. However, before any move, we should also discuss what to do with the mess at the nominated article: first, we have pure WP:OR intro, then de-facto list of fictional books, which has some references, not many. I couldn't find a list to support keeping this as a list (for WP:NLIST), but I expect someone might be able to dig something. The question is, should be just move the content here to a list (after presumably shortening the lead to remove OR) or just nuke it? And should fictional book be a disambig, or a redirect to the list, or to my new article, or should my new article be moved...? I'll ping editors who commented in the relevant AfD linked above: User:Blackballnz, User:TompaDompa, User:Shooterwalker, User:Pokelego999. PS. Interwiki (de/it) should probably be moved to my new article. It article lists some potentially interesting sources (but in Italian/offline...?), de is less useful, sadly. Neither is a list, they are prose (hence, a better fit to my rewrite). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:01, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm ignoring the introduction; but that list seems to be classic cargo-cult encyclopaedia article writing. It's a fairly haphazard mixture of macguffins, story within a story (a.k.a. embedding or hypodiegetic narrative according to the Routledge Encyclopaedia of Narrative Theory, if anyone wants to fix the missing redirects and disambiguation entries and alternative names), discovered manuscripts, plain old just-something-fictional-like-everything-else-in-the-story items, and a couple of others. The RENT also tells us that storyworld doesn't mean what our article says, in narrative theory; and has an entry for framed narrative that uses the word "diegetic" a lot, ☺ in addition to saying that a found manuscript that the fictional author has to make public is one type of framed narrative. So this is one argument for not renaming the new, and not preserving the list. Uncle G (talk) 05:43, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Well, there is also Story in story#Nested books as a not identical but closely related subject to consider. And there is Category:Fictional books, which has enough entries to justify a list from a WP:CLN/WP:LISTPURP-NAV point of view. I am also thinking along the same lines as Blackballnz.

What really surprised me language-wise is that sources often seem to use "fictional book" in the same meaning as "book of fiction. Which makes looking for sources hard but also may indicate that the idea is relevant but this should not be the article title. Still, what looks like a very promising source is Made-up Stories: What can fictional books tell us about real ones?, but I cannot access it. What I can access is Books Within Books in Fantasy and Science Fiction: “You are the Dreamer and the Dream”, which deals with our topic and our Wikipedia article, whatever that means for usability. Additionally, the sources used for that paper are likely relevant. Daranios (talk) 16:15, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Story in story, which is the real home for this topic. This article veers into WP:OR when the more common term is used in the same sense as fiction book (a redirect to fiction). If there is more than one potential target, I suggest a WP:DISAMBIG, but perhaps at a less confusing title (e.g.: book within a book). Shooterwalker (talk) 02:57, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Not from me. I tried Bing News and there were no results at all. I tried Google News and the only thing that wasn't from the organization's own WWW site turned out to be a PR service that publishes press releases. I didn't look too hard at the books, but the first one was a disappointment. It looked promising, until I scrolled back to the top of the section and found that it was copied from the WWW site's own "about" page. The next book seemed to be sourced to every company's/organization's own WWW sites that it was discussing, too. A paper copy of a corporate autobiography is still a corporate autobiography. And it turns out that copying the corporate autobiography was exactly how this article began at Special:Permalink/17787890, too. (Current versions of that blurb can be found even today.) The added text in the current article comes from the software's description on SourceForge. The claim that the editor here wrote any of this appears to be false. Xe merely copied it. So it's no loss if we delete the Wikipedia copy of a corporate blurb that Wikipedia has been hosting for 20 years. Wikipedia is not an advertising billboard nor a hosting service for yet more copies of blurbs in addition to the ones that the organization itself has spread around.

• Keep not because of the comments by Fredericknoronha, which have no basis in policies or guidelines, but rather because a 2007 book called Home Informatics and Telematics: ICT for the Next Billion devotes significant coverage to Sangonet, as does a 2006 book called Empowering Marginal Communities with Information Networking, as does a 2002 book called Rowing Upstream: Snapshots of Pioneers of the Information Age in Africa · Volume 1, as does a 2010 book called Information and Communication Technologies, Society and Human Beings: Theory and Framework. And there are other books but that is enough to show that the topic is notable. Cullen328 (talk) 08:57, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alas, it isn't.

    I see that you too found the 2010 book that explicitly says that it copied the corporate biography, but you didn't spot it. It's the one with the very same corporate blurb straight-up copied here by Fredericknoronha in 2005, updated from 17 to 22 years because it was copied the year before the book came out, and with the about page URLs in the text. It says 26 years on the LinkedIn copy, and 30 and 33 on a couple of other copies elsewhere.

    Google hides that 2002 book from me. But a quick title search prompts a question: Is its author, perchance, Anriette Esterhuysen the former Executive Director of SANGONeT, and is it written in the first person singular and plural? If so, it is more SANGONeT corporate autobiography in book form.

    The 2006 book chapter, if you scroll up to the chapter title, you will find comes from SANGONeT too. It's doi:10.4018/978-1-59140-699-0.ch010 and the author affiliations are explicit.

    That leaves the 2 paragraph 6 sentence treatment in the 2010 book. "Only two paragraphs?" you might ask. Yes. The rest, from the next paragraph onwards until it starts talking about QUALCOMM, is all about the Human Sciences Research Council's PRODDER and then about Women'sNet, another Fredericknoronha article.

WP:BLP of an actor and radio host, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing inclusion criteria for actors or radio hosts, and a similarly poorly sourced article and semi-advertorialized about his show.
The attempted notability claim as an actor is a few small bit parts as a child actor in the 1980s, and the attempted notability claim as a radio host is small-market local radio stations, neither of which are "inherently" notable enough to guarantee a Wikipedia article without WP:GNG-worthy sourcing for them -- but the article is referenced entirely to IMDb and other primary sources that are not support for notability, and has been flagged for notability concerns since 2017 without improvement.

Belasco is one of the few openly black, gay erotic artists. Erotic artists are often neglected, compared to non-erotic artists. I think those characteristics are enough to deserve an entry in Wikipedia.

That being said, Belasco has also been published in Meatmen (comics), a very important gay anthology of its time. Another reason to keep this article.

If that helps, Belasco has a current and updated Patreon page at [60]https://www.patreon.com/BelascoArts Frpe01 (talk) 17:12, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I hope I'm allowed to post again on the same subject.

A few more sources about Belasco's work:

The site for The Advocate (magazine) has a page, https://www.advocate.com/art/2021/8/25/miguel-angel-reyes-sketches-sexiest-men-world#rebelltitem1, for a 2021 online gallery including examples of Belasco's work.

The Advocate (magazine) also presented a 2013 show that includes Belasco's work at https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/art/2013/07/11/galleries-sexyblack

The page on the aforementioned gallery's official site is at https://antebellumgallery.blogspot.com/2013/07/sexyblack-opens-july-12th-antebellum.html Frpe01 (talk) 20:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. While mainstream coverage in online sources is not plentiful (a WP blind spot), the subject's notability in the context of gay black erotica is substantial. Jason A. Quest (talk) 18:06, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, as always, the fact that primary sources are used is not cause for deletion. The question is whether there are sources that could be cited, and I'd say that the evidence points to 'yes'. I note the mentions of SAC from 1946 ([71]), 1956 ([72] "SOARING ASSOCIATION OF CANADA The national gliding organization , the Soaring Asso- ciation of Canada , has been mentioned several times . It arose in 1944 from the need for a responsible body to represent glider pilots' interests to the Government, for a means of dissemination of news and information, and for a representative of the Federation Aeronautique International to issue soaring awards and homologate records"), from 1958 ([73], "Soaring Association of Canada , the national organization which now has 17 member clubs"), apparently issued pilot licenses around 1950 ([74]), organization involved in WWII efforts ([75]), same author ([76]), 1989 ([77], statement on prestige of SAC trophy), "...from the Soaring Association of Canada a Certificate of Honour for his creative work in the field of glider and sailplane design which helped to develop a constantly growing glider movement in Canada" ([78]), "[Soaring Association of Canada ( SAC ) was therefore formed in 1944 and a national charter was granted to the Association a year later .

I'm assuming a lack of findable information is due to differences in romanization of Korean. Do you have any guess at what romanization system was used, or know of Kim's full name in Korean? Sarsenet (talk) 05:20, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No LibStar (talk) 05:27, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At least based on my interpretation, it's written as 김주룡. I don't know if other websites use his name differently, though. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:19, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, I'm finding some articles about the subject, for example: "TV극성에 멍드는 선수보호 마라톤 골인지점서 기진맥진한 선수 붙들고 아우성 동아일보 | 1983.10.10 기사(뉴스)" [TV Polarity is a bruised athlete protection marathon goal cognition holding a tired athlete and clamoring]. newslibrary.naver.com (in Korean). [The day before the marathon, Kim Joo-ryong (金周龍·Gyeongnam) won the three-thousand-mumble handicap race to set a new Korean record, and even though the two stations had a one-time relegation to secure Kim athletes first with each other.

Fails WP:NSOFT. The creator's website presumably contains almost all the coverage this OS has received. This coverage consists of an article written by the creator, a magazine interview with the creator, and a TV interview with the creator (practically inaccessible). None of this contributes to notability. I didn't find anything else when trying to search Ukrainian sources. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 00:15, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am the subject of this article and am requesting a courtesy deletion. The only notable aspect to my career in terms of wide in-depth press coverage is only one event, and no other coverage reveals substantial public interest in my career - the rest are run of the mill sources or passing mentions. There has been a banner at the top of the page for seven years asking for additional citations for verification, and none have come forward that changed its status. I would ask for the community to delete my page, which I had no hand in creating. JHHM (talk) 00:27, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Wrote a rather extensive book on the curation process "Curating from Z to A", although I see no book reviews, for it, appears to have had an extensive career with several notable art institutions.

Delete - I'm not entirely sure what I'm reading, which naturally means I'm not sure why this would be notable. Seems quite promotional or technical. Tried to Google this, but couldn't really find much. Page creator has also declared they are a paid editor for Informa on their user page and most of their contributions seem to be for Informa.
