The Lost Mountaineers

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

This appears to be a promo article created by the filmmakers. Though the page includes a lot of references, most of them describe the underlying subject of the documentary. The remaining cites are mostly blurbs for minor film festivals/etc. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 17:48, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sui-Turkic war

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

This seems to me, based on the lack of available sources and a look at a translation of the primary sources offered, to be a set of skirmishes, minor invasions, and on and off bickering rather than an actual "war" per se. I do not believe this subject is notable based on my WP:BEFORE search. Some of the battles individually might be, but again, I don't thing the "Sui-Turkic war" is a discrete topic in-and-of-itself.

Leaning merge. I think it would have been appropriate for the nom to have dropped a link to this revision, one diff prior to their own gutting of uncited content comprising the majority of the prose. For clarity, this is the version I would support merging into related articles: the article at the diff of nomination adds essentially nothing to either Sui dynasty § Foundation and Emperor Wen or First Turkic Khaganate § Civil war.
I haven't yet done a BEFORE, so no comment on notability yet. Whether or not this topic can be construed as a "war" may come down to a translation issue, but this is the English Wikipedia so our word for "war" obviously takes precedence.
The main thing I'm actually commenting to note is that none of the (WP:GENREF) sources given are actually Primary sources. There are two modern sources named only in translation – which will add difficulty in locating them – but obviously secondary sources even given the translation of their titles. There are a further two secondary sources which happen to be pretty old. Both Book of Sui and Zizhi Tongjian were compiled by professional historians from extant primary and secondary sources at their disposal. Zizhi Tongjian in particular is extraordinarily reputable and may even be considered a tertiary source, but that's a point I don't want to argue.
Additionally, if these are the two sources being consulted in translation, I can attest that machine translation of Classical Chinese (and even modern Chinese written in a more old-school style) is still real bad, with its major problems including word boundaries, grammatical functions, abbreviated referents, and proper nouns.
Anyway, still no strong opinion here as I haven't put in the work to inform myself, so I don't know yet whether or not this nomination is appropriate (although an absence of sister language articles is not a positive omen), but the process of nomination in this particular case looks flawed to me personally.

Simons Architects

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

Flagged for significant work since 2022, and for COI and Paid contributions, the article is WP:ADMASQ for a small firm of architects which seems to be seeking to inherit notability from its clients, but fails WP:NCORP. WP:BOMBARD and WP:CITEKILL are almost invariably key indicators of puffery. This is no exception to that. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:20, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A fairly WP:ROTM mid-century Los Angeles apartment building. The only WP:GNG-qualifying source is the LA Conservancy page on the complex. The LA Historic Resources Inventory (a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE) indicates that the building may be eligible for a historic designation but it's not designated now.

Alexander's invasion of Gangaridai

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

The article clearly fails WP:GNG, No mention of “Alexander's invasion of Gangaridai“ in the sources, Sources in the background & aftermath does not even mention the event rest are unreliable and don't mention a conflict either. Also this event is based on later legend which is not considered historical.

The Cambridge Ancient History: Macedon, 401-301 B. C. United States, Macmillan, 1927: It was a severe blow to Alexander. True, he could not have gone much farther in any case; half his army was on his communications with Taxila, and he was using Porus' troops for garrisons. But he thought there was not much farther to go; his desire still to advance with his reduced force proves that clearly enough. The intention of con- quering the Prasii, i.e. the great kingdom of Magadha on the Ganges, with which he is credited in some inferior sources, is a later legend; for he knew nothing of the Ganges, unless just the name, or of Magadha.

“The reports say that Alexander was terrified by the mere prospect of having to face the Gangaridae and their elephants. The men themselves, seeing the numbers and strength of the elephants, were discouraged and compelled him to turn back.”

—Plutarch, Life of Alexander. Kirny Wirny (talk) 16:25, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:PRIMARY, they are not useful for establishing notability. Nxcrypto Message 16:31, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a WP:RS either, see WP:PRIMARY.
Also I already cited a source which says this event is totally based on later legends, Plutarch was born hundreds of years after Alexander's death. Koshuri Sultan (talk) 16:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article fails WP:V as the supposed conflict between Alexander and the Nandas has no basis in mainstream historical accounts. It violates WP:NOR by promoting speculative and fringe narratives not supported by reliable sources. The portrayal of Gangaridai as having repelled Alexander is contradicted by well-documented historical records, which state Alexander's retreat was due to his troops' exhaustion and refusal to advance, not any direct conflict with the Nandas. This article appears to be a WP:HOAX and fails WP:GNG. Nxcrypto Message 16:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

World Baseball Classic Rules

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

Even after removing copyright violations from this page, this page fails the WP:GNG test of WP:NOT as WP:NOTHOW and WP:NOTWEBHOST. The page paraphrases the rules, duplicating them unnecessarily. The page relies entirely on primary sources; there do not appear to be reliable, independent, secondary sources discussing the WBC rules as a subject warranting encyclopedic coverage.

William Parente

AfDs for this article:

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

Fails WP:BIO1E and WP:EVENTCRIT and WP:NOTNEWS. Article is sourced entirely to news sources in April 2009. No evidence of lasting significance in WP:SUSTAINED coverage or WP:DIVERSE sourcing. The last AFD was in 2009. Distance should give us better perspective that the event wasn't significant. 4meter4 (talk) 15:24, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Is profiled for a large portion of the Prometheus Books book "Killer Dads" by journalist Mary Papenfus, which has a lot of detail and analysis to pass WP:NEVENT and by extension WP:NCRIMINAL. On the strength of that source alone, I would vote keep. I can retitle it and shuffle stuff around to "eventify" it as "Parente family murders" or something, though with familicides we don't always do that because of how they're covered, and also in this one there's the thing about the Ponzi scheme.... There's also later news coverage and commentary due to the bizarre involvement of the Ponzi scheme in this whole affair. PARAKANYAA (talk) 15:59, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Agree with PARAKANYAA that the book coverage demonstrates sustained coverage and in combination with news coverage at the time is enough to meet WP:GNG. The book is available on IA by the way. Not opposed to eventifying the article but the topic should be kept. Jfire (talk) 17:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. @ PARAKANYAA is there one more source from outside of the 2009 window of coverage? Papenfus' book is certainly a great find, but I would think we would need at least one more source of this quality to satisfy WP:EVENTCRIT. If you are able to find one more of this calibre I will gladly withdraw the nomination. I do think we should retitle the article as an event.4meter4 (talk) 17:23, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Won Jang

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

Fails WP:NEVENT, not in depth coverage or over a sustained amount of time. The only news since it happened was some people getting charged. ATD redirect to List of hazing deaths in the United States#2020s, where it is included (and, note, most of those deaths seem covered to the same degree as this and do not have articles) PARAKANYAA (talk) 14:50, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

redirect: is fine, not every death is notable. This was sadly just another hazing that went wrong, not the first or the last such event. Oaktree b (talk) 22:10, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This article has ample sources that provide significant coverage. The most recent article is in The New York Times, providing significant coverage on a national level. This event was also covered in USA Today and The Guardian and People, again providing significant coverage in the US and internationally. Furthermore, this death just happened last year. It is premature to say that there is no ongoing coverage, as there has been a steady number of articles and coverage throughout 2024. I searched Newspapers.com and found 58 hits in 2024, in newspapers across the country. These articles were published in July, August, September, and November. That is coverage in four of the six months since the event happened. That seems like ongoing coverage to me. Rublamb (talk) 19:39, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Such early coverage is WP:PRIMARYNEWS. For a notable case, the coverage might drop off in the interim, but there would be something, or a piece that analyzed it in relation to a broader topic. This does not have that. All the later coverage is press releases/basic announcements which do not count. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:43, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another recent article in the Washington Post. I don't think you can call this a press release article. This is another article in People, from July 2024, meaning it was covered in this national magazine two times, both reporting and following up on the death. WP:EVENTCRIT says that "Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources". This event had widespread national and international coverage. Rublamb (talk) 19:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The first is a routine legal announcement that does not contribute to event notability. The second is from the day or so after it happened, also not very helpful. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:57, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A byline article in a newspaper with a wide circulation does indeed count toward notability; this article is signficantly different from the short announcement in, for example, USA Today. People covered the death twice, showing ongoing coverage at a national level. Rublamb (talk) 23:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn’t always, depending on the type of coverage and how they are covering it. Legal updates are almost never helpful for notability and coverage form the day after something happened cannot demonstrate sustained. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Institute for Educational Advancement

Non-notable organization that sponsors scholarships. None of the sources in the article supports WP:NCORP, nor does anything in my WP:BEFORE search except for possibly this expert blog post.

Keep as creator; modestly notable scholarship is what the org is known for. Perhaps only needs to be one article about both; I merged the article on the scholarship into the one for the institute (though I could see it going the other direction). – SJ + 16:50, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can you share which sources meet GNG for the scholarship? Every source you've added in the merged text is affiliated with the Institute or is a primary source. I still don't see WP:SIGCOV. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Living Textbook of Hand Surgery

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

I cannot find any indication that this specific work passes GNG or NBOOK. However, the "Living Textbooks" as a platform (which this was the launch of) might.

It's not a book as usuual - Living Textbook of Hand Surgery is work in progress as a peer reviewed platform teaching hand surgery using text and videos for surgical techniques. Maybee category "book" is misleading. Woller (talk) 12:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from WP:ADHOM comments. I think an event needs non-primary and non-local sources as per WP:GEOSCOPE, otherwise every local barbeque would get an article.

Out of the added sources "Taylor, Holly (23 August 2023). "Pork Fest Revived". Roanoke-Chowan News Herald." is a local source, "Whole Hog Barbeque Series. North Carolina Pork Council" hardly looks independent. this one is an event listing from a non-independent source and very amateur site which looks almost like a blog. this one is a line mention and not WP:SIGCOV. LibStar (talk) 01:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
as per WP:EVENT, there is no evidence of WP:LASTING effect or more broad national significance as per WP:GEOSCOPE. This is just a locally run barbeque event. LibStar (talk) 01:13, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG is demonstrated: Significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject is well established by the coverage in four independent publications:

The article doesn't have to pass both WP:EVENT and 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.

Death of Elianne Andam

Fails WP:NEVENT, in that the coverage is largely routine and not in depth, or sustained. My prod was rejected because it was "potentially controversial" (as much as any prod ever is).

The trial has only started recently. Also, there has been significant coverage already. --Lyndis Parlour (talk) 18:03, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and so this presents BLPCRIME issues. Just because something goes to trial or makes the news does not make it notable, since those kinds of news sources are WP:PRIMARY and do not count for notability (unlike reflective or analytical ones). It may be significant, but is not secondary. Please read WP:NEVENT. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:06, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There has been sustained and in-depth coverage on the BBC News website,[3] among other, more local news outlets. So I find your above statements not entirely fitting. --Lyndis Parlour (talk) 18:28, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That is a recounting of a trial - neither sustained nor in depth. Of course it will get covered when it goes to trial, as every publicized crime does. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:40, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's not true. The stabbing has received wide coverage by the BBC (and other national news outlets) since 2023. How about we wait for other opinions? --Lyndis Parlour (talk) 19:00, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If true (it is not “wide coverage” by any means) that is not sufficient for event notability - the relevant guideline here is WP:NEVENT, which this does not pass. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:04, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: One of 20 people getting stabbed isn't notable... Could be named in a list about the crime spree, if that's deemed to be notable.

Articles for deletion/Jim Leisy

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

I believe Jim Leisy fails the WP:GNG criteria. Not enough independent secondary sourcing to prove notability.

The majority of the article is unsourced self-promotion. According to the one reference in the article the artist won a 'Caldera Gold Spot Award' but I can find no explanation of what that is or how notable it might be. He also has a work catalogued by the Smithsonian https://www.si.edu/object/solar-eclipse:nasm_A20170021000 that was gifted by the artist.

Additionally, there appears to be WP:COI from Leisy himself, creating the page in the first place, removing other editors' issue taggs without fixing issues, and multiple edits of the page under User:Jimleisy.

Keep: I have added two references. Leisy meets WP:PHOTOGRAPHER, in particular point 4D: the person´s work has been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. The Smithsonian, the Portland Art Museum, among others.Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 03:06, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Works represented in the Smithsonian, Portland Art Museum, and 'National Air and Space Museum' were all gifted by the artist, apart from one at Portland that I could find that was intentionally purchased with funds provided by the Photography Council (Leisy was on the board of directors - so there's clear WP:COI there): http://www.portlandartmuseum.us/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=70706;type=101 SallyRenee (talk) 09:21, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The works may have been donated by the author but the guideline Wikipedia:Notability (people) does not make a distinction between purchased and donated works, so that is not a relevant argument. By the way, it is not at all easy to donate work to museums. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 03:28, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I am leaning towards delete but not iVoting until I look deeper. I understand the nominator's thoughts about self-donated works in collections, however many institutions would still run a donated work through their acquisitions board; however in the case of the Portland Community College Collection, it's doubtful if they have one. The work in the Houston MFA seems to be donated by another person. The LensScratch article is a good source, however more like that are needed to meet NARTIST and GNG. A GoogleBook search found nothing. Netherzone (talk) 21:22, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - After searching more, I think there is enough for him to meet notability standards. Here's what I found online: a comprehensive obituary: [5], article in LensScratch: [6], a comprehensive narrative about his work in the collection of the Smithsonian's Air & Space Museum [7], he's quoted here as an expert: [8]. These items along with the permanent collections (even tho several were donations by the artist), [9], however the work at the Portland Community College Collection was not donated by him [10], and has a decent narrative: [11]. The COI content or unsourced self-promo can be trimmed from the article; I think he meets notability, not in the strongest sense, but I do think he is notable.

Murder of Kiaya Campbell

Fails WP:NEVENT. Coverage is entirely "thing occurred", with no analysis of how/why/what this means. The sourcing is very local and generally very poor, and not over a long period of time.

Weak delete – Sadly, and meaning no disrespect, none of the sources establish that this murder has its own notability beyond being a tragic event. It would be different if it led to significant social or legal change, but I'm not currently seeing that here unfortunately. (Regarding local sources mentioned a couple of times above, however, I've had a look at Wikipedia:Notability and it doesn't say that reliable sources need to have wide geographic coverage.) --Northernhenge (talk) 11:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Probably, the subject's notability is tied to being the originator of Baye Dance step, however, the dance step is also not notable.

Comment: In accepting the draft of this article, I considered it under WP:NMUSICOTHER, and yes, took the invention of dance steps to be notable, supported by national shows and performances, as documented. I don't think we're seeing source farming - rather, as happens with AP and similar, a base article was probably produced in one source location and circulated (it's not a press release) - the piece was found in respectable sources such as the Accra Times - so the only limitation is that that counts only once. Given performance, choreography, etc., I believe GNG is met, if not by much - I've seen a lot of less-well-attested articles (and yes, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is valid, but I weight what there is vs. the source base in Ghana).

Delete Probably more akin to skirmish and never named by anybody as a battle.

I looked in Google books, internet archive, refseek, the web, gallica, an arabic archive, the reliable source search in afc menu and google scholar and can't find a full secondary source.

2023–24 U.S. House legislative coalition

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

I am creating this deletion request on behalf of the community, not because I actually believe this article should be deleted.

Just for some context, I created an early draft of the article and abandoned after getting feedback from others that it probably wasn't notable. User:Dcpoliticaljunkie found the draft and improved it. They nicely asked on the talk page if I felt it was ready to be moved to mainspace and I said it was.

More importantly, I believe that AFD is one of the few bureaucratic processes that actually work on Wikipedia. User:Antony-22 started a merge discussion, but I find that those discussions often don't get seen by the community at large. AFD is much more obvious and the discussion is generally more structured. A few other users have made comments on the article talkpage asking for the articles deletion.

I am leaving those comments and the merge discussion below. I will add my own !vote when I get some time, probably at some point tomorrow.

This is not a European-style legislative coalition, even an informal one. Unlike in parliamentary systems, in the United States it is common and unnoteworthy for legislation to pass with some votes from both parties. The idea that Republicans should try to pass legislation without any Democratic votes is a new one—even the Hastert rule didn't require that—and one that has not even been put into practice.

What this article does have is a good description of funding-related legislation during the 118th Congress, but that text is customarily in the article for each year's federal budget. I propose to move the text to 2024 United States federal budget and 2025 United States federal budget, and possibly other articles, as appropriate. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 00:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't do an AfD right now but this article seems to be deletion worthy with WP:OR and WP:SYNTH violations. 1) the idea that there are any coalitions (and I use that term loosely) between fractions of the Republican and Democratic parties exist is dubious at best and outright false at worst. 2) the infobox, especially but not to the ideology section, makes claims that are not supported in any of the sources. 3) the article can't even agree who is apart of this "coalition". 4) this article synthesizes sources from the 2 speaker elections in 2023, the removal of Kevin McCarthy, and the various bills to stop a government shutdown to create a narrative unsupported by reliable sources TheMysteriousStar (talk) 01:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/merge There is simply no legislative coalition. There's certainly something to say that the budget bills and some other bills were passed by an atypical bipartisan majority, but to put that in a standalone article calling it a coalition isn't right at all. It's significant that the intransigence of the Freedom Caucus has required the speaker to call votes that will pass with Democratic votes, but it's not a consistent set of members or that they're being whipped like a coalition. I think 118th United States Congress is welcome to use prose sections that incorporate this content, as well as 2024 United States federal budget and 2025 United States federal budget. Reywas92^Talk 23:54, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The coalition was definitely extremely informal, which makes it hard to parse through sources for. But there are several reliable sources that discuss, in detail, Republicans being unable to pass bills by themselves. Wikipedia goes off of what sourcing says, even if things aren't super formal. I think [23], [24], [25], [26], [27] and [28] are enough. Esolo5002 (talk) 17:03, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this is clear synthesis. We should not create a concept out of thin air, and a review of the secondary sources does not establish notability for this hypothetical coalition. Legislative bipartisan action can be effectively covered at other pages without inventing a framework to explain it all - that's what historians do, and we're not historians.

The reason why this article exists is unclear. It was prodded and deprodded over a decade ago for a vague reason. Even the Yue Chinese version has no sources. Searching Google in both Chinese and English seems to only yield results describing events and locations near the street, with nothing appearing to establish notability for the street itself. Notability is, of course, not inherited. Anonymous 06:17, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)#Engineered constructs says:
Road networks: International road networks (such as the International E-road network), Interstate, national, state and provincial highways are typically notable. Topic notability for county roads, regional roads (such as Ireland's regional roads), local roads, streets and motorway service areas may vary, and may be notable if they satisfy the WP:GNG criteria, the criteria of another subject-specific notability guideline, or other criteria within this notability guideline.

  The article notes: "At the start of Tin Lok Lane, about opposite Wanchai Road, is the last remaining houses of a row with a bawdy past. Before World War I this row housed somewhat faded blooms, many from Vienna, who rented their charms for the small fee of $2. ... Around the time of World War I, the Government opium factory was still situated at the end of Tin Lok Lane. Here, half naked coolies could be seen stirring pans of steaming opium. Tin Lok Lane translated means Lane of Heavenly Happiness and probably derives from these activities. ..."
2. "短街天樂裡" [Tin Lok Lane, Short Street]. Ta Kung Pao (in Chinese). 2001-08-02. p. D5.
  The article notes: "至於極短的街道﹐灣仔區也有。如銜接摩利臣山道的天樂裡。好一條交通頻繁的行車馬路﹐卻僅得十間箾位。當眼的路牌也只有三個。又有誰知道﹐此即是百年前洋水手尋樂之地的天樂裡﹔而左轉橫街的鵝頸街市所在的一段灣仔道﹐據街坊說﹐當年也叫天樂裡﹗"
  From Google Translate: "As for very short streets, they are also found in Wan Chai District. Such as Tianleli, which connects Morrison Mountain Road. It's a road with frequent traffic, but there are only ten stalls. There are only three street signs that stand out. Who knew that this was Tin Lok Lane where foreign sailors had fun a hundred years ago? And the section of Wan Chai Road where Gooseneck Market, which turns left across the street, is located, according to neighbors, was also called Tin Lok Lane back then!"
3. "Transactions of the Second Biennial Congress Held at Hongkong, 1912". Far Eastern Association of Tropical Medicine. 1912. Retrieved 2025-01-05 – via Google Books.
  This article from the journal The International History Review discusses the Far Eastern Association of Tropical Medicine (FEATM):
  The FEATM became a forum-based regional organisation and held ten conferences from 1910 to 1938. The first, in Manila, saw the participation of seventy-six experts from 'India, Ceylon, Siam, Netherlands India, Federated Malay States, Straits Settlements, Hong Kong, Philippine[s] Islands, Tsingtau ([or Qingdao in China, represented by] Imperial German Government), and Japan'. It was a medical-expert organisation and governmental. Its member units were expert organisations located in countries in the region, with key positions selected by these organisations. Participants, however, represented their respective governments, rather than their professions. Many were colonial officers in charge of quarantine, or from colonial medical institutions. Invitations were sent through diplomatic channels. Governments funded the participants' travel expenses and a conference when their unit hosted it. In Asia—with the exception of Japan, China, and Siam—a majority of the administrative units were colonial governments, and they became the member units of the FEATM.
  The source notes: "There has been a curious tendency of late years to alter the names of certain streets which mark great epochs in the life of our Colony, and to confer upon them Chinese names. Thus the street leading from the Eastern Praya to the Happy Valley was known for very many years as "Observation Place", so named because at this very spot Captain Belcher, R.N., of H.M.S. Sulphur, who took possession of the island in January, 1841, took his first observations for latitude and longitude. It is now known as "Tin Lok Lane " which literally translated can only mean "Happy heaven lane", this may relate to the heavenly bodies from which the observations were taken, or more probably perhaps it refers to the fact that the street or more probably perhaps it refers to the fact that the street or lane leads to the Happy Valley; but in any case the neighbourhood is practically a European one and it is difficult to understand the reason for the change of designation."
4. "Wanchai traffic will ease". South China Morning Post. 1977-05-20. ProQuest 1529232043.
  The article notes: "Traffic flow in Wanchai is expected to be greatly improved when work on the widening of Tin Lok Lane and Morrison Hill Road is finished. A Government spokesman ... pointed out that Tin Lok Lane and Morrison Hill Road are important links for traffic heading for, the Cross Harbour Tunnel from Wanchai. "The roads are now heavily used and because of the location of the tram tracks along Morrison Hill Road and Tin Lok Lane, only two traffic lanes are available for buses and cars. ... He said that in addition, a signal controlled pedestrian crossing would also be provided at the junction of Tin Lok Lane and Wanchai Road."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tin Lok Lane (traditional Chinese: 天樂里; simplified Chinese: 天乐里) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Not sure why this was deprodded since it still fails WP:NNAME. It could be redirected to the one person with the name but the parenthetical disambiguator would make it an implausible target, as someone searching up "Feng (surname 酆)" is going to expect information on the surname and not Feng Yunhe. Of the two sources in the article, one only mentions the name and the other is a dictionary.

Comment. No independent sources have been provided. Almost all the links are to this publication's own website. The only one that isn't is a broken link to the Harvard University website, which, I suspect, used to be a listing of this publication as being a student organization. But that would only establish existence, not notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:11, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Via Vinci Academy

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

The Via Vinci Academy never really got off the ground. It was a short-lived project that went bankrupt in 2011. The only claim to fame is that the project prompted the dutch government to introduce a regulation that allows only recognized universities to carry the word "University" in its name. I think the so-called "Via Vincy Academy" does not pass WP:ORG and the best we can do is delete the article. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 03:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of in vitro transdifferentiation by lineage-instructive approach

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

This appears well-referenced, but no reference mentions the term "lineage-instructive" in their heading. It is not obvious this meets WP:NLIST. Further, there is no criteria given for why those particular examples are included (WP:INDISCRIMINATE). Perhaps per WP:ATD-R this could be merged and redirected to transdifferentiation, which is not too long. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:42, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Back in May 2012, User:Ilee0913 created two articles, this one (Examples of in vitro transdifferentiation by lineage-instructive approach) and its sister Examples of in vitro transdifferentiation by initial epigenetic activation phase approach. The pairing makes it clear that the odd phrasing is simply a marker for the different selections in the two articles. As nom says, the sourcing is robust. It may be that the two could simply be merged, with 'By lineage-instructive approach' becoming one chapter, and 'By initial epigenetic activation phase approach' becoming another chapter. In that case the merged article should be titled Examples of in vitro transdifferentiation. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:47, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chiswick Chap I think "Examples of..." is a pretty bad type of Wikipedia article (almost as bad as "Instruction to..."). Merge is a good idea, but why hot merge both to transdifferentiation? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:44, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, don't merge: I'm sorry to derail the growing Merge consensus, but the content of this article simply isn't encyclopedic. Transdifferentiation gives a summary of the methods used to induce transdifferentiation, with a few well-chosen examples (though we should delete the "Here is a list of examples" statements from that article). This list is a bunch of context-free citations to primary literature; anyone who understands what each entry means would probably consult a review article, rather than Wikipedia, if they need examples. Redirect seems pointless because this is such an unlikely search term. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:20, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this article has not yet demonstrated individual notability outside of his band, Tomorrow X Together, which is a criteria per the notability guideline at WP:BANDMEMBER. This is evident from the largely empty "Career" section that shows very little in the way of individual activity that would assist in establishing individual notability.

Subject has not released any solo singles that have charted anywhere that could assist in establishing individual notability, or participated in any activities of note outside of his membership in the band. The article mentions his individual participation in a YouTube series, which was uploaded onto the band's YouTube channel, but it doesn't seem to have received WP:SIGCOV outside of a few sources that are largely churned from a press release.

Delete per WP:TNT. Been tagged since 2009 and nobody has pitched in. So many issues in this article, including the use of many quotes with no supporting attributed sources of potentially copyrighted materials. (his jokes probably are copyrighted and these quotes are likely copyright infringements unless we give attribution). The only source used is an SNL transcript which is a primary source. There's unsubstantiated claims of varying kinds that require a source because of the nature of the claim. This person is notable but the article requires a complete rewrite.

Naale (film)

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

Two unreleased films that fail to establish notability. The first film may have been unfinished, which is why it is listed here as a short film [30]. The first film was also incorrectly listed on the 2008 list of films, but the sources were emerging in mid-December 2008 and a release seemed unlikely [31].

In an attempt to salvage, the film article I added information about the second unreleased film, all passing mentions.

While it lists the 2017 version as unreleased (first with a pink U and then with [ പുറത്തിറങ്ങാത്ത ചിത്രം ] (transl.
