| 2024-12-03 | Zero Hour (video game) (2024 video game) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (Found reviews in The Games Machine and Softonic, and a news mention in PCGamesN. While this isn't terrible it also isn't enough to pass WP:GNG because PCGamesN doesn't really offer up any critical opinions, and everything else is an unreliable source. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:43, 3 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-05 | Tinychat (Online chat website) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Articles about companies must meet WP:NCORP requirements. This one clearly fails them.
1. [4] Puff piece by WP:TECHCRUNCH, an outlet infamous for its COI articles 2. [5] Very brief and clearly promotional article, even including calls to action with a link to the website. Fails WP:ORGIND. 3. [6] non-independent interview article, doesn't say anything of substance about Tinychat. 4. [7] reads like a routine announcement, not deep enough coverage to satisfy ORGDEPTH. 5. [8] Reproduction of another WP:TECHCRUNCH puff-piece. 6. [9] Routine announcement, doesn't say anything about the company in any depth (WP:ORGDEPTH). Also relies on TechCrunch. Other sources I found were PR articles and top 10 lists. This article was also created by an editor with the same name as a co-founder of this company [10]. Badbluebus (talk) 23:12, 5 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-06 | Starting Point Directory (website directory) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (Fails WP: GNG. I could not find any sources that would establish notability. The previous AfD contained a lot of vague gestures about "historical significance" without suggesting sourcing improvements. If voting Keep, please show that the subject meets notability requirements by pointing to specific secondary sources that are reliable and cover the subject in-depth. HyperAccelerated (talk) 06:05, 6 December 2024 (UTC)) |

| 2024-12-06 | PeerStream | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (Fails WP:NCORP. This company was briefly covered by some reliable sources when its name was confused with Snap Inc.'s during their IPO in 2017 [11] [12] [13], and there was no WP:SUSTAINED coverage after that. The brief WP:TECHCRUNCH puff-piece isn't reliable, and the other sources are not independent. Maybe this article would merit a passing mention in the Snap Inc. page. This page was previously deleted in 2006, then it was recreated by a blocked sock in 2014 and then edited by multiple other socks after that. Badbluebus (talk) 03:34, 6 December 2024 (UTC)) |

| 2024-12-09 | Old Grandma Hardcore (American blogger) | AfD (4 k, 1 d) (No real establishment of notability. The sources provided are: a blog site, the MTV homepage, a BusinessWeek article about her gaming career which seemed quite trivial, and a forum post-esque story pointing back to the aforementioned blog site. Been notability tagged since 2012. I should also add, I suggest not looking up her nickname lest you find links to 'the Hub'. Aydoh8[contribs] 10:36, 9 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-09 | TheoTown (2019 video game) | AfD (1 k, 3 d) (The page was deleted multiple times for A7 and G11 reasons, so I figure having a full deletion discussion might be worth it. The only sources given are primary: the game's website, and the Steam/App Store/Google Play pages and ratings. The only sources I could find were a self-published blog explicitly including affiliate links, and this review, whose website appears to have an editorial team but for which I'm not sure how reliable it is, as only one of the members is an accredited journalist. Still, assuming this counts as a RS, a single source isn't enough for WP:GNG. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:22, 9 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-10 | Jamalon (Defunct Middle Eastern online book retailer) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Fails WP:GNG; WP:NCORP and NOTCRUNCHBASE very much applies here. Defunct - mostly Arabic - booksales website/POD operation in the Middle East, first in Jordan then the UAE. It started up, it closed down. There is no enduring impact or change in the market that resulted from its existence. The only likely ATD would be a redirect to Fadi Ghandour, but at the most it would be one of hundreds, if not thousands, of investments that Ghandour has made - and it's not really outstanding or worthy of a merge at his page.

| 2024-12-10 | Vampirefreaks.com (Online clothing store and former social networking site) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Does not appear to be a notable company. The only reliable sources I could find that covered it were passing mentions to the website as a result of the Murder of Carly Ryan. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 05:13, 10 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-11 | Deterministic simulation testing | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (This term seems to only be used by a fairly small group of companies, I'm not sure the methodology is currently notable enough to warrant an article. WP:BEFORE search turns up a fair amount of results, but they mostly seem to be primary sources or unreliable blogs. I think we need more reliable secondary sources covering this topic before it can be an article.
Considering the article in its current state, I don't think it provides much value as a stub. Every current reference is only indirectly relevant, none speaks directly to the topic or includes the phrase "deterministic simulation testing". There are 2 external links, and only one uses the phrase. StereoFolic (talk) 01:38, 11 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-12 | Paper doll (video games) (User interface element common in role-playing video games) | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (Fails WP:GNG. This is more of a thing for Glossary of video game terminology than its own article, IMO. Looking for SIGCOV, I only found articles about dress-up games, making it dubious whether this term even solely applies to this manner of character customization. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:52, 12 December 2024 (UTC)) |

| 2024-12-15 | Master Artisan Guitar Picks | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (Company is one guy selling guitar picks through Etsy. Notability seems pretty questionable, with almost all the sources being, um, "popular" websites like The Awesomer, BoingBoing, and LaughingSquid. All of which links that I tried are dead. The only functioning link seems to be a Tennessean article of the "spotlight on a local business variety." It's something, but Google has nothing else, and if you take away all the promo and dead links, there isn't much of an article left. Mbinebri (talk) 17:24, 15 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-15 | Red Barrels (Canadian video game developer) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (Fails WP:NCORP. There seems to be no significant coverage. The focus of the sources are the Outlast games, not the company itself. Suggesting redirection to Outlast as an alternative to deletion. Mika1h (talk) 18:48, 15 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-15 | Jimmy Rex (American Businessman, Author, and Podcaster) | AfD (4 k, 5 d) (Total promo nonsense article, sourced to passing mentions with nothing meaningful in the way of actual coverage - and the only mentions of Rex are again, in passing, if even that. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 19:46, 15 December 2024 (UTC)) |
| 2024-12-16 | Cassie Petrey (American digital marketer) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Mildly promotional biography of a music marketer who fails WP:NBIO, WP:GNG; moved to mainspace after being declined at AFC. She seems to have received some coverage for a past connection to Britney Spears, but her notability cannot be WP:INHERITED from Spears. The coverage of this connection is also tabloid coverage (Mirror, Daily Soap Dish, People), which is disallowed for establishing notability per WP:SBST. The remaining sources are limited to:
As for her 30 Under 30 listings ([14], [15]), there is no consensus that these are the kinds of awards that would make someone independently notable under WP:ANYBIO. (The Forbes 30 under 30 is "awarded" to 1,230 people each year across geographies and industries so is not a rare honor.) I didn't find any other qualifying coverage in my WP:BEFORE search.

| 2024-12-18 | Gregory J. Blotnick (American hedge fund manager) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (It's unclear to me why this man's fraud conviction makes him notable. There were many people who committed PPP fraud and while large, his is not the largest or most well reported. I see a smattering of reporting, of the routine kind of reporting you usually see that is rewritten SEC or DOJ press releases.
Furthermore, I don't see how he is notable for his finance activities prior to his conviction. This article seems to promote the man in a twisted kind of way. I am concerned about the potential COI nature of this articles creation as well, because the Wikidata item for this page/person, Gregory Blotnick (Q131440997) is being actively edited by wikidata:User:Gregory J.

| 2024-12-08 | Anders Jallai (Swedish writer) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. As far as his writing goes, the only attempt at a notability claim here is that his work exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself -- writers have to show that they pass WP:GNG on significant third-party coverage and analysis about their writing, not just use ISBN and Libris links to verify that their work exists. And the other attempted notability claim here is that he led a search for a missing plane, which wouldn't be "inherently" notable without a GNG-worthy depth and volume of coverage about that either. But for sourcing, what we've got here is one deadlinked directory entry that isn't support for notability at all, and one deadlinked (but recoverable via Wayback) National Geographic article that briefly glances off Jallai's involvement in the plane search without being about him in any non-trivial sense, which thus isn't enough to magically vault him over WP:GNG all by itself. And while the Swedish interlang is longer and features more referencing than this, it's still based mainly on primary source directory entries that aren't support for notability, alongside a small smattering of more short blurbs about the plane search that also briefly mention Anders Jallai without being about him, so that article also doesn't have sources that could just be cut and pasted over to salvage this. As I don't have access to archives of Swedish media coverage, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who does have such access can actually find enough substantive coverage to salvage the article, but nothing in it is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more and better referencing than this.

| 2024-12-08 | Conrad Stargard (Fictional character) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (The books series in which this fictional character exists could be notable, but there is no good indication that he himself is.

As always, writers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their work exists, and the notability test hinges on the quality and depth of the sourcing that can be used to independently verify their significance -- but this article is referenced entirely to her own writing metaverifying its own existence in Google Books directory entries rather than any evidence of GNG-building coverage and analysis about her, and the article has been tagged for sourcing problems since 2010 without ever having any better sourcing added.

| 2024-12-18 | Auton (Fictional automatons controlled by the Nestene Consciousness in the Doctor Who franchise) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (The Autons don't appear to have standalone notability from the parent series. The current sources used in the article, and the bulk of SIGCOV, are from unreliable sources like Looper and Doctor Who TV. The bulk of coverage I could find via searching was primarily from reviews, which do not indicate notability individual of their parent episodes, and unreliable sources like WhatCulture. Additionally, the House of Lords statement, while relevant, is only part of their wider statement on Terror of the Autons, which is what actually caused the discussion in the first place. The Autons were only discussed as an aspect of the episode that was scary, with other aspects of the episode being discussed in equal measure. This whole statement confers notability to Terror of the Autons, not the Autons themselves, as notability is not inherited from the parent subject here.
A search through News turned up one SyFy hit, but this boiled down to a brief plot summary with a declaration of "These guys are scary", which is nowhere near significant coverage. https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/chosen-one-of-the-day-autons-in-doctor-who A search through Books and Scholar yielded nothing, though admittedly the results were muddied by concepts of autonomy and people with the name of Auton, even with specifiers like "Doctor Who." The coverage here is minimal and very little SIGCOV exists, and what info on their development we have is better covered as part of a wider article. An AtD to the "Nestene" section of List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens would suffice, as the Nestenes are the creatures who created the Autons, and the Autons serve basically as their lackeys, and are closely related enough in-universe to where they should be covered together.

As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show certain specific markers of achievement supported by reliable sourcing -- but this essentially just claims that he exists, expresses his significance in terms of flowery fluff like the quote I highlighted above rather than quantifiable achievements, and is referenced solely to a single unreliable source rather than any WP:GNG-worthy coverage.

The issue is this article from a quick glance seem to be nothing more than a PR puff piece for the subject which is basically WP:PROMO. There’s also issue of notability. The vast majority of sources are basically brief mentions of the subject. You have some which are interviews, so they are not independent. The subject is mentioned in a few lists, but these again seem more like mentions and not really in-depth. This article probably needs to be rewritten from scratch to comply with Wikipedia standards. That’s assuming we get enough independent in-depth sources of notability. Edit: There seems to be a lot of WP:SPA users on this article. Lenoviah, Iceemagic,SimonSemenya and NganonoMrico.

As far as his writing goes, the only attempt at a notability claim here is that his work exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself -- writers have to show that they pass WP:GNG on significant third-party coverage and analysis about their writing, not just use ISBN and Libris links to verify that their work exists. And the other attempted notability claim here is that he led a search for a missing plane, which wouldn't be "inherently" notable without a GNG-worthy depth and volume of coverage about that either. But for sourcing, what we've got here is one deadlinked directory entry that isn't support for notability at all, and one deadlinked (but recoverable via Wayback) National Geographic article that briefly glances off Jallai's involvement in the plane search without being about him in any non-trivial sense, which thus isn't enough to magically vault him over WP:GNG all by itself. And while the Swedish interlang is longer and features more referencing than this, it's still based mainly on primary source directory entries that aren't support for notability, alongside a small smattering of more short blurbs about the plane search that also briefly mention Anders Jallai without being about him, so that article also doesn't have sources that could just be cut and pasted over to salvage this. As I don't have access to archives of Swedish media coverage, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who does have such access can actually find enough substantive coverage to salvage the article, but nothing in it is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more and better referencing than this.

| 2024-12-13 | Postcolonial anarchism (Anarchist school of thought) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (Two and a half years ago, Czar raised the article's synthetic scope over on the talk page, pointing out how the article was a "hodgepodge of various concepts [...] rather than any unified coverage of a singular concept". When I came across it, I concurred with this assessment, after finding that more than 2/3rds of the article was stringing together different concepts based on sources that never mentioned the subject.[43]
I think this is yet another "x anarchism" article from an older era of Wikipedia, when attempting to create new tendencies/philosophies out of passing uses of a term (or even just wholesale making shit up) was all the rage. Searching through sources about this term, I've only found passing references to Roger White's book Post Colonial Anarchism (see further reading section), none of which are substantial enough to even remake this article into one about the book. As I'm not sure how to fix the scope of this article, as it doesn't appear to meet notability criteria and as I can't think of a suitable redirect target, I'm nominating this article for deletion.

The current sources used in the article, and the bulk of SIGCOV, are from unreliable sources like Looper and Doctor Who TV. The bulk of coverage I could find via searching was primarily from reviews, which do not indicate notability individual of their parent episodes, and unreliable sources like WhatCulture. Additionally, the House of Lords statement, while relevant, is only part of their wider statement on Terror of the Autons, which is what actually caused the discussion in the first place. The Autons were only discussed as an aspect of the episode that was scary, with other aspects of the episode being discussed in equal measure. This whole statement confers notability to Terror of the Autons, not the Autons themselves, as notability is not inherited from the parent subject here.
A search through News turned up one SyFy hit, but this boiled down to a brief plot summary with a declaration of "These guys are scary", which is nowhere near significant coverage. https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/chosen-one-of-the-day-autons-in-doctor-who A search through Books and Scholar yielded nothing, though admittedly the results were muddied by concepts of autonomy and people with the name of Auton, even with specifiers like "Doctor Who." The coverage here is minimal and very little SIGCOV exists, and what info on their development we have is better covered as part of a wider article. An AtD to the "Nestene" section of List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens would suffice, as the Nestenes are the creatures who created the Autons, and the Autons serve basically as their lackeys, and are closely related enough in-universe to where they should be covered together.

When I came across it, I concurred with this assessment, after finding that more than 2/3rds of the article was stringing together different concepts based on sources that never mentioned the subject.[60]
I think this is yet another "x anarchism" article from an older era of Wikipedia, when attempting to create new tendencies/philosophies out of passing uses of a term (or even just wholesale making shit up) was all the rage. Searching through sources about this term, I've only found passing references to Roger White's book Post Colonial Anarchism (see further reading section), none of which are substantial enough to even remake this article into one about the book. As I'm not sure how to fix the scope of this article, as it doesn't appear to meet notability criteria and as I can't think of a suitable redirect target, I'm nominating this article for deletion.

While AfD participants have debated the applicability of BISHOPS (and I have generally accepted it as a quasi-guideline since WP:CLERGYOUTCOMES align with it, even though it's not a P&G), this bishop does not even qualify under BISHOPS. The church he leads is a micro-denomination that is not part of the Anglican Communion or recognized by any of its member churches.

| 2024-12-13 | Lokotrans Aréna (Stadium in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic) | AfD (6 k, 0 d) (The article titled Lokotrans Aréna does not satisfy the notability requirements outlined in Wikipedia's guidelines, specifically WP:NSTADIUM and WP:GNG. The rationale for this deletion request is based on the principle of consistency in application of policies, as evidenced by the deletion of the Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium article. Below, I outline the reasons why the Lokotrans Aréna article should be removed:
1) The article provides minimal information, mostly focusing on basic facts about the stadium's capacity, location, and sponsorship history. Such details do not constitute significant coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources, which is required by WP:GNG. 2) The stadium does not stand out architecturally, historically, or culturally. It resembles numerous local sports facilities, which are typically deemed non-notable unless they meet the general notability criteria through substantial independent coverage. 3) The primary reference cited in the article is from the club's official website, which is not independent. This reliance on primary sources further undermines the claim of notability. 4) The deletion of the Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium article serves as a clear precedent. In that case, arguments were made that small local stadiums without significant independent coverage do not warrant standalone articles. The same reasoning applies to Lokotrans Aréna. Moreover, consistent enforcement of Wikipedia's policies ensures fairness and credibility. 5) Similar to the decision regarding Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium, I propose either a deletion or a redirection of the Lokotrans Aréna article to the FK Mladá Boleslav article. Any relevant information about the stadium can be integrated into the club's article, maintaining its visibility while adhering to Wikipedia's content guidelines. 6) Out of caution, I argue that it is irrelevant that the national team or Premier League of Czechia teams played at this stadium. This argument did not gain recognition in the case of the Tarnobrzeg stadium Paradygmaty (talk) 21:55, 13 December 2024 (UTC)) |

Plus, the tables are incomplete. Besides the senior ranks, World Athletics or continental governing bodies typically only keep an official U20 World Record list ("junior") and a U18 World Best list ("youth"). Having record lists that are incomplete and not official seems like a poor choice. I am not nominating the Europe U23 list and South America U23 list for deletion as these have official records kept by European Athletics Association and Atletismo Sudamericano. It's definitely a lot of work to put lists like this together, so I suggest that whoever made this article save a copy in the event this and the articles below get deleted.

Several sources do not even mention Chase at all ([75], [76], [77], [78],

While AfD participants have debated the applicability of BISHOPS (and I have generally accepted it as a quasi-guideline since WP:CLERGYOUTCOMES align with it, even though it's not a P&G), this bishop does not even qualify under BISHOPS. The church he leads is a micro-denomination that is not part of the Anglican Communion or recognized by any of its member churches. Moreover, Chase is the pastor of an individual congregation, and bishops in this category are per CLERGYOUTCOMES not typically found notable by virtue of their office.

The issue is this article from a quick glance seem to be nothing more than a PR puff piece for the subject which is basically WP:PROMO. There’s also issue of notability. The vast majority of sources are basically brief mentions of the subject. You have some which are interviews, so they are not independent. The subject is mentioned in a few lists, but these again seem more like mentions and not really in-depth. This article probably needs to be rewritten from scratch to comply with Wikipedia standards. That’s assuming we get enough independent in-depth sources of notability. Edit: There seems to be a lot of WP:SPA users on this article. Lenoviah, Iceemagic,SimonSemenya and NganonoMrico.

As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show certain specific markers of achievement supported by reliable sourcing -- but this essentially just claims that he exists, expresses his significance in terms of flowery fluff like the quote I highlighted above rather than quantifiable achievements, and is referenced solely to a single unreliable source rather than any WP:GNG-worthy coverage. And the interlangs to the Arabic and Kurdish Wikipedias also don't feature any other reliable sourcing that could be pulled over to salvage this: the Kurdish one cites only the same unreliable source, while the Arabic one cites one different primary source and one circular citation to the Kurdish Wikipedia, neither of which are valid support for notability either. As I can't read the Arabic or Kurdish languages, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who can read those languages is able to find sufficient GNG-worthy coverage to salvage this and neutralize the advertorialism, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced better than this.

News channels have extensively covered this topic, primarily repeating the claims made by the Pandit. Unfortunately, the errors in this translated book, which appears to be motivated by financial interests, have gone unchallenged. Having carefully examined the book and its issues, I recommend one of the following actions:
1. Archive the article until credible evidence supporting its claims is provided. Or 2.

| 2024-12-13 | Lokotrans Aréna (Stadium in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic) | AfD (6 k, 0 d) (The article titled Lokotrans Aréna does not satisfy the notability requirements outlined in Wikipedia's guidelines, specifically WP:NSTADIUM and WP:GNG. The rationale for this deletion request is based on the principle of consistency in application of policies, as evidenced by the deletion of the Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium article. Below, I outline the reasons why the Lokotrans Aréna article should be removed:
1) The article provides minimal information, mostly focusing on basic facts about the stadium's capacity, location, and sponsorship history. Such details do not constitute significant coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources, which is required by WP:GNG. 2) The stadium does not stand out architecturally, historically, or culturally. It resembles numerous local sports facilities, which are typically deemed non-notable unless they meet the general notability criteria through substantial independent coverage. 3) The primary reference cited in the article is from the club's official website, which is not independent. This reliance on primary sources further undermines the claim of notability. 4) The deletion of the Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium article serves as a clear precedent. In that case, arguments were made that small local stadiums without significant independent coverage do not warrant standalone articles. The same reasoning applies to Lokotrans Aréna. Moreover, consistent enforcement of Wikipedia's policies ensures fairness and credibility. 5) Similar to the decision regarding Tarnobrzeg Municipal Stadium, I propose either a deletion or a redirection of the Lokotrans Aréna article to the FK Mladá Boleslav article. Any relevant information about the stadium can be integrated into the club's article, maintaining its visibility while adhering to Wikipedia's content guidelines. 6) Out of caution, I argue that it is irrelevant that the national team or Premier League of Czechia teams played at this stadium.

As far as his writing goes, the only attempt at a notability claim here is that his work exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself -- writers have to show that they pass WP:GNG on significant third-party coverage and analysis about their writing, not just use ISBN and Libris links to verify that their work exists. And the other attempted notability claim here is that he led a search for a missing plane, which wouldn't be "inherently" notable without a GNG-worthy depth and volume of coverage about that either. But for sourcing, what we've got here is one deadlinked directory entry that isn't support for notability at all, and one deadlinked (but recoverable via Wayback) National Geographic article that briefly glances off Jallai's involvement in the plane search without being about him in any non-trivial sense, which thus isn't enough to magically vault him over WP:GNG all by itself. And while the Swedish interlang is longer and features more referencing than this, it's still based mainly on primary source directory entries that aren't support for notability, alongside a small smattering of more short blurbs about the plane search that also briefly mention Anders Jallai without being about him, so that article also doesn't have sources that could just be cut and pasted over to salvage this. As I don't have access to archives of Swedish media coverage, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who does have such access can actually find enough substantive coverage to salvage the article, but nothing in it is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more and better referencing than this.

Besides the senior ranks, World Athletics or continental governing bodies typically only keep an official U20 World Record list ("junior") and a U18 World Best list ("youth"). Having record lists that are incomplete and not official seems like a poor choice. I am not nominating the Europe U23 list and South America U23 list for deletion as these have official records kept by European Athletics Association and Atletismo Sudamericano. It's definitely a lot of work to put lists like this together, so I suggest that whoever made this article save a copy in the event this and the articles below get deleted.

Further, the information about his annual financial compensation over several years is a bit of a BLP minefield, especially in the wake of last week's shooting -- the amount that a person gets paid is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself, but that appears to be this article's primary concern. Simply existing as an insurance CEO, regardless of how much money he is or isn't making, is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the principal subject of more GNG-worthy coverage about him and his work than this article is showing.

While the organization claims widespread activity and recognition, the sources cited are primarily self-published or lack significant, reliable secondary coverage in independent publications. The majority of the references either originate from IIMUN itself, social media posts, or promotional material, which are insufficient to establish notability. Furthermore, the achievements mentioned, such as organizing large-scale conferences and initiatives like "Find a Bed," fail to receive substantial and consistent coverage from reputable third-party sources over a significant period. Without verifiable, independent, and non-trivial coverage, the subject cannot be deemed notable under Wikipedia's policies.

As always, health insurance CEOs are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on coverage that's substantively about them and their work, but the referencing here isn't really cutting it: the best sources are two short blurbs published on the same day announcing his initial hiring for the job, which aren't substantive enough to get him over GNG all by themselves, while the rest of the footnotes comprise a press release self-published by his company (which isn't an independent source), an industry trade newsletter that isn't a GNG-worthy publication, and three articles that aren't about him in any non-trivial sense, but just glancingly namecheck him in the process of being principally about the overall phenomenon of how much insurance executives are getting paid. Further, the information about his annual financial compensation over several years is a bit of a BLP minefield, especially in the wake of last week's shooting -- the amount that a person gets paid is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself, but that appears to be this article's primary concern. Simply existing as an insurance CEO, regardless of how much money he is or isn't making, is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the principal subject of more GNG-worthy coverage about him and his work than this article is showing.

| 2024-12-09 | TheoTown (2019 video game) | AfD (1 k, 3 d) (The page was deleted multiple times for A7 and G11 reasons, so I figure having a full deletion discussion might be worth it. The only sources given are primary: the game's website, and the Steam/App Store/Google Play pages and ratings. The only sources I could find were a self-published blog explicitly including affiliate links, and this review, whose website appears to have an editorial team but for which I'm not sure how reliable it is, as only one of the members is an accredited journalist. Still, assuming this counts as a RS, a single source isn't enough for WP:GNG. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:22, 9 December 2024 (UTC)) |

| 2024-12-11 | Deterministic simulation testing | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (This term seems to only be used by a fairly small group of companies, I'm not sure the methodology is currently notable enough to warrant an article. WP:BEFORE search turns up a fair amount of results, but they mostly seem to be primary sources or unreliable blogs. I think we need more reliable secondary sources covering this topic before it can be an article.
Considering the article in its current state, I don't think it provides much value as a stub. Every current reference is only indirectly relevant, none speaks directly to the topic or includes the phrase "deterministic simulation testing". There are 2 external links, and only one uses the phrase. StereoFolic (talk) 01:38, 11 December 2024 (UTC)) |

In going through the sources, they appear to be press releases or otherwise connected with the company, and the very small number of exceptions do not appear to be significant. There is material out there, but nothing that I think passes WP:ORG, as I cannot find material which is clearly both independent and significant.
