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

I am unable to find sufficient in-depth coverage of this footballer to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTCRIT. All that came up in my searches were trivial mentions, such as those present in the article. JTtheOG (talk) 00:41, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – At second glance, I have to agree 100% with JTtheOG. That's why I replaced the subject of this page with another Miguel Márquez, and this one is clearly notable, so I vote keep. Better to recycle than to waste. Barr Theo (talk) 03:03, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - clearly a notable figure in the pioneering days of Spanish football, WP:COMMONSENSE applies given his career, the online sources, and the clear availability of offline sources.

@GiantSnowman: Note that the subject sent to AfD never played Spanish football, but instead in Uruguay in the internet age. JTtheOG (talk) 19:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: JT originally tagged this guy, a 21st century Uruguayan footballer with no SIGCOV. And as I pointed out at the start of the discussion, I replaced him with another Miguel Márquez (the poet), who is clearly notable. Barr Theo (talk) 19:44, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You should NOT overwrite articles. Why is the Uruguayan footballer now at 'poet' disambiguation? GiantSnowman 20:24, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the article on the Uruguayan footballer? This is a horrendous mess. GiantSnowman 20:26, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Right, I've reverted your nonsense. Please do not repeat this again. GiantSnowman 20:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you think the poet is notable and want to create a new article about the poet, please create it separately. Do NOT rewrite an existing article, especially while the article is at AfD. Natg 19 (talk) 23:57, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a good rationale. "Redirect" should only be used for redirecting a topic to a related topic, not an entirely different person who shares the same name. Natg 19 (talk) 23:56, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, why would it be reasonable to redirect this page to the page of someone altogether different? Sharing a name and a profession means absolutely nothing. Anwegmann (talk) 02:59, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Natg 19: and :@Anwegmann: I know it's not a good rationale. This is simply a desperate last-ditch effort to save my 0% deletion ratio (currently 902–0). So, how about you guys help me a little. Its for a good cause and it will be an harmless redirect (wink wink). Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 05:59, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I thought the AfD was about the sculptor/player from the beginning, so therefore, it is not recommended to move the page during the process. Svartner (talk) 11:20, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Svartner:, Yes, of course. What I'm saying is to redirect this page to the sculptor/player after the process (AKA, if this discussion decides it so). Speaking of which, you haven't spoke your peace yet, so choose wisely (wink wink). Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 12:29, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete—This is a strange AfD. Delete per all above. Weeding through all the confusion, it appears as though this Miguel Márquez fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. Anwegmann (talk) 02:58, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Subject does not appear to have the requisite WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:GNG, and a check in corresponding wikis along with TWL didn't come up with anything better. Let'srun (talk) 21:20, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Let'srun: Yep, that's right. But please note that this article can also be turned into a redirect to Miguel Márquez (sculptor), who was also a footballer. Barr Theo (talk) 23:46, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I oppose a redirect for the same reason as Anwegmann. Let'srun (talk) 01:40, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the article on the sculptor, given that he was also known as a footballer. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:58, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't really understand this. The sculptor is not the same person...so why would this article, which is about one person, redirect to another article about a different person? That literally can only serve to confuse anyone redirected because the assumption will be, with no evidence to the contrary, that they are the same person, which they are not. This article clearly needs to be deleted, as the subject lacks WP:SIGCOV and fails WP:GNG. The fact that he has the same name as someone else who was also a footballer is completely immaterial. The author of the article even admitted that the argument for a redirect "it's not a good rationale. This is simply a desperate last-ditch effort to save my 0% deletion ratio." A deletion ratio is not a valid reason to save an article that doesn't deserve to be saved. Anwegmann (talk) 02:16, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The sculptor isn't the same person, but he is a footballer -- someone looking for him might search under the name "footballer" given he was partly known for that, no? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:20, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I know that, and that's the problem with the redirect. Someone looking for the Uruguayan footballer named Miguel Márquez will be redirected to the article of a Spanish sculptor who happens to have been a footballer also. If we were to create a redirect, it should be from Miguel Marquez (Spanish footballer). Anwegmann (talk) 02:32, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Just because there's non-notable subjects of the same name doesn't mean we need to make a specific disambiguation (e.g. Miguel Marquez (Spanish footballer)) for the redirect to the notable subject. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:36, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – Since they are different subjects (the Spanish player/sculptor and the Uruguayan one). Svartner (talk) 00:06, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I talked to Barr Theo and redirect seems to be the best option for him, without causing harm to the project as a whole. Apparently no one is willing to keep the Uruguayan player's article. Svartner (talk) 00:33, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This conversation is here, and as you can see, my intention wasn't WP:CANVASS, even though it turned out to be exactly that. Barr Theo (talk) 00:44, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you were recently warned about canvassing by Robby.is.on. JTtheOG (talk) 01:01, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's true. I even told Robbyison that my WP:CANVASS with GiantSnowman was a one-time thing. And in fact, my conversation with Svartner wasn't meant to be a CANVASS. I just told him to cast a vote, and what came after Svartner's "Why?" was merely venting. I even said "I suppose there is nothing I can do to now".
You know better than anyone that I'm at the absolute peak of my powers. I literally just got my first-ever GA article a few hours ago... Do you really think I would risk my Wikipedian career over such futility? Barr Theo (talk) 01:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's difficult to see this as anything but WP:CANVASSing in light of what you wrote above about this very issue: "I know it's not a good rationale. This is simply a desperate last-ditch effort to save my 0% deletion ratio (currently 902–0). So, how about you guys help me a little. Its for a good cause and it will be an harmless redirect (wink wink)." You freely admit that your argument for a redirect is not based on merit but rather based on personal interest. This has got to be the strangest AfD I have ever seen. I can't seem to make heads or tails of it beyond the very clear fact that the article in question deserves to be deleted and only deleted. A redirect to a completely different person's article is totally senseless. Anwegmann (talk) 02:22, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The focus on saving one's deletion percentage is a tad bit silly, but I don't think the redirect option is wholly unreasonable given the other subject was a footballer (i.e. he'd be the only Miguel Marquez footballer article on the site, just under a different title - thus it isn't that unusual to have the title "(footballer)" redirect to his article). BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:29, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Anwegmann: Those "wink winks" were before Robbyison's warning... Barr Theo (talk) 02:34, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It will harm the project as a whole, because the Uruguayan player in question will implicitly be conflated with the Spanish sculptor/player without any explicit explanation that they are not the same person. That is, at the very, very least, misleading; but it's actually really just incorrect. To me, that is doing harm to the project by making two completely different people appear to be the same person. Anwegmann (talk) 02:27, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Right, let's do this proper. Action Force kid, though I did enjoy the Devil's Due America's Elite stuff, so I have a passable working knowledge of G. I. Joe. My recollection is that with perhaps one or two exceptions, the fellows packed with the vehicles didn't get much attention as it was the vehicles that sold them. Thrasher sadly seems to be one of these cases.
That is kind of it. Given the character's obscurity even within the franchise - I doubt he'd break into most Joe fans' top 5 Dreadnoks, I doubt print material will bring up more than passing mentions. I would say Merge with List of Cobra characters in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 10:05, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Completely promotional article, paid contribs and the company he founded doesn't even have it's own article so there's no use having his. If some one searches his company's name this article doesn't pop up. The article has total 1500 views and is a stub from 10 yrs ago saluere, Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs 09:55, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. From my observation, the article is not at all promotional and adheres to WP:NPOV. The article also has multiple reliable sources and thus passes WP:BIO. The absence of an article of the company he established is not a reason to delete this page. Same goes with the pageviews and class of the article.

Lack of notability Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:11, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. In response to the recent PROD nomination, I had a look at the sources. It seems quite possible that the name "Richardus de Wilton" or suchlike was an artefact, suggested by some misunderstood manuscript material. So I was happy to see the PROD stand. I deprecate the further business of bringing the matter up at AfD. There may be some less obvious source that validates Wilton, and there is no need to make the deletion emphatic.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Philosophy, History, and England. Shellwood (talk) 16:21, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is difficult to assess. Three dates are given for his death, and it's not clear why or how the Catholic Encyclopedia (1913) determines that 1239 is correct, rather than 1339 or 1439. However, notability would seem to be determined by how much coverage there is in each of the sources used by the Catholic Encyclopaedia, and how reliable those sources are. The questions about the biographical claims suggest that they are not very reliable. @Charles Matthews:, it sounds as if you have been able to access the original sources - would you be able to clarify how much coverage there is in each source? Also, as a matter of interest, are the works he wrote extant, or just reported in these sources? (My searches led me to sources about a Richard Wilton who was a Benedictine monk at Glastonbury Abbey and studied at Leuven. [8] This seems to have been during the time when Robert Stillington was Bishop of Bath and Wells, in the second half of the 15th century. That Richard Wilton apparently failed to pass on information about a plot against the king in 1500 [9], so he doesn't actually fit with even the latest date for this Richard Wilton. I didn't find anything about this Richard Wilton, though I'm probably not looking in the right places.) RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:49, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@RebeccaGreen: I didn't go very deeply. It was more like a WP:BEFORE-compliant assessment, for example seeing what came up on Google Books. I did pick up a bibliography of manuscripts in Cambridge libraries, which seemed a fair test of general notability. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:54, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Unless this fellow has captured the imagination of a very diligent doctoral student, I can't imagine that we will find sufficient information for an article. He wrote (if he did) over 200 years before the printing press, so his works would have existed in very few manuscript copies. He would have written in Latin, and using a latinate form of his name ("Richardus de Wilton"), but we should expect spelling variations as spelling was far from settled. The different death dates are a good indication that accurate information does not exist. Even the one good source listed here mainly talks about who he isn't.

Relisting comment: This is a deletion discussion about a person, and yet so far the discussion has not come to a consensus about this person, and has instead determined that a book they wrote - which does not currently have an article - is notable (noting here that the arguments for keeping that have been presented are all about the book, and do not establish notability for the author). The AfD closer cannot be responsible for implementing such a reframing, and it isn't reasonable to move what is patently a biography to a title about a book without reframing. As such, this currently looks like a "delete" outcome - I'm relisting for one more week in the hope that someone will do something to avoid such a closure.

Further updating my !vote to a "Weak delete". Iljhgtn (talk) 23:29, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. As I said in my !vote, the book reviews are enough to establish notability under WP:NBOOK or under WP:NAUTHOR (specifically criteria 3, which says that an individual who created a significant and notable work can themselves be considered notable). With authors who have written a single notable book, it's obviously a common outcome to prefer having an article about the book rather than about the author, since having both is typically redundant. But the sources that establish WP:NBOOK notability here also establish WP:NAUTHOR notability, and as the nominator here said themselves, there is value to retaining the article history. So I don't see any reason why we shouldn't keep this article on the basis of WP:NAUTHOR, and a discussion can be had outside of AfD about whether or not to reframe it to be about the book.

  • Delete -- the article lacks independent sources pointing to the notability of the scholar, and as written the article is not a good foundation to an article about the book itself. The author is an expert in the sorts of fields (open-document standards) that lead to high support on Wikipedia fora, but the article has still not had added to it either (a) the types of mainstream press citations of authority that would allow a GNG keep or (b) the larger scholarly concensus (tenure, awards, high citation indices, reviews for multiple publications) that would make for a keep. I won't object if someone wants to take the article and try to make a case for the book. And I don't feel strongly either way, but given the multiple relists and the need for non-involved comments from people who regularly review WP:PROF, this (general inclusionist) suggests delete. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 10:09, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Casualties of the 2011 Super Outbreak (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

While the outbreak is very notable, this article was initially denied at AfC based on WP:NOTMEMORIAL and was later published into the mainspace anyway. The article contains several errors (such as stating the Hackleburg tornado killed 72 people but only listing 70), and the table at the top does not add up to the correct number of people killed on the correct dates. The top table also does not seem to jive with the list of fatalities below it in regards to the date. The table also lists numerous Jane and John Doe's, implying that those people are unknown. In fact, those people are known, but likely do not have names published online in an easily found place. I believe an alternative to outright deletion could be to condense this into a section at 2011 Super Outbreak or to break the names (provided the information is correct) into separate tables in their respective tornado's section at 2011 Super Outbreak.

  • Comment: I found a review from DVD Talk. I did a search under the Japanese title and got some hits, however the most frequent mentions appear to be in Google Books, which Google Translate won't help with. The difficulty, however is that the title seems to be "Elegy of Betrayal" in Japanese and there's apparently another movie by that title, so we'd need someone with some level of fluency to be able to tell if any of that is useful. I was able to get a good snippet in list view to see that this does mention the correct film, however the same issue applies - I can't tell if it's actually useful for establishing notability.

  • Redirect to Ottoman–Iranian War (1821–1823). I'd rather see the article redirected vs. outright deleted. Because it contains a lot of work finding and composing citations and some information not in the main article. It may be useful in the future. Also the redirect itself is worth saving. Also there is useful information in the talk page. -- GreenC 00:44, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    First of all, dear GreenC, we have put a great deal of effort into this page. We have carefully researched the necessary sources, and we have thoroughly discussed the rationale behind this page with you step by step in the "talk" section. Therefore, I strongly oppose the deletion of this article. Anyone who wishes can come and discuss it with me many of the answers people are looking for are already available on the talk page. The Siege of Baghdad article is not a simple or trivial page. It covers a battle that is as crucial and significant as the Battle of Erzurum. Are you seriously considering deleting or turning this historically important article which changed the course of the war into a mere redirect? @HistoryofIran @Iranian112

    Normally I wouldn't think much about the tone of your message, but why do you evaluate the issues from your own perspective?
    We are talking about the Baghdad siege page, if you want, do not deviate from the subject
    +Also, I didn't say anything about the redirection of the page, I just wanted to change something wrong about the chronological order in the template. I don't see any controversial issues on those pages you mentioned as 1,2,3. As for Diyala and Mandali, I didn't know about the limit of the number of sources, but now that I know and I have knowledge about the accuracy and logic of the sources, I am trying to delete these pages. You can see what I mean here: here BEFOR01 (talk) 16:17, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I am literally talking about the Baghdad siege, thus I am not deviating from anything, nor is there anything wrong with my tone. Sorry, but judging by this and your past comments, I think there is a language barrier here, so let's just end this discussion of ours here. And as for your comment below, please be aware of WP:BLUDGEON. HistoryofIran (talk) 16:46, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course, you can review all my posts in the discussion; I have no objection to that. However, please do not try to minimize or deny a historical fact using such excuses.
    If I am the one who really derailed the thread, please respond directly to the arguments in my previous posts. If you cannot refute my responses, then the delete or redirect warning placed on the Siege of Baghdad (1821) article should be removed.
    That is not a problem for me, but if you are deliberately biased and trying to minimize the historical significance of the event, then that is something that really needs to be questioned. BEFOR01 (talk) 17:07, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Casting WP:ASPERSIONS against me because you don't agree with me is not a good look. If you truly believe this, feel free to report me to WP:ANI. If not, please keep it to yourself. HistoryofIran (talk) 20:45, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I agree the article repeats more than necessary about the war, but I don't think that implies the siege is non-notable by any means. Several sources which appear decent (although I don't read Turkish) are cited, and two sections with paragraphs of detail on the siege itself and analysis of it are present. There's too much to merge, and the nominator has not demonstrated that the siege is non-notable -- as such this should have been a merge proposal (to be clear I am also not in support of that). Mrfoogles (talk) 15:24, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The event is not prominent in WP:RS as far as I've seen. The fact that there is little info about the siege itself is pretty concerning in regards to WP:NOTABLE. HistoryofIran (talk) 15:30, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The siege is probably the second or third most important event during the Ottoman–Iranian War (1821–1823). The main article needs expansion it's way too brief and there is good content/sourcing in the Siege article that can be integrated - also good conversations on the talk page. After that, we will better be able to judge what if anything needs splitting off. I want to do this work of expansion but my "day job" (fixing dead links) has been time consuming. -- GreenC 15:48, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, stating that the event "does not appear prominently in reliable sources" is quite a subjective assessment when it comes to historical topics like this. We have citations from both Turkish and Persian academic sources, and these sources thoroughly examine the siege’s impact on the course of the war. Such regional sources are indeed within the scope of WP:RS, especially when they are directly related to the geography of the event.
Secondly, you say that "there is little information about the siege," but we've already questioned both the accuracy and logic of that claim in the first paragraph. This siege was a decisive event that directly influenced the outcome of the entire war. Trying to condense such a significant and impactful development into just a few paragraphs in the main article could both disrupt the structure there and diminish the historical importance of the siege itself.
Furthermore, this siege is the second most critical event of the war. We've said this before and we’ll say it again: after Erzurum, it was the most consequential engagement.
In conclusion, if the article's content were truly weak, I would have removed it myself long ago. Instead of rushing into deletion or merging, a more encyclopedic approach would be to improve the article through constructive contributions. BEFOR01 (talk) 16:38, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As per HistoryofIran's rationale.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 17:16, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This is not a vote, it's a discussion. Simply stating “per HistoryofIran” is not a sufficient rationale for deletion. In deletion discussions, contributors are expected to provide their own reasoning. If you believe the article should be deleted, please explain why in your own words so we can have a constructive and meaningful exchange.
    Also, I’ve already addressed HistoryofIran’s arguments in detail above particularly regarding the historical significance of the siege and the reliability of the sources cited. If there are no direct rebuttals to those points, then merely echoing someone else’s opinion shouldn’t carry weight in deciding the article’s fate. That’s not in line with an encyclopedic approach. BEFOR01 (talk) 17:38, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    So you want me to copy-paste what HistoryofIran said ? I am not going to repeat his rationale, as I said, I agree with it, end of. By the way, just to let you know, your above comments have not solved anything and I don't agree with your reasoning.You really should take a look at WP:BLUDGEON, as suggested above---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 18:46, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I’m not asking you to copy and paste anything. I’m pointing out that simply saying “I agree” without addressing any specific arguments or providing independent reasoning doesn't help move the discussion forward in a meaningful or policy-aligned way.
    +Do you think it's that simple? "Your comments above didn't solve anything" you say
    then if you read my comments above in more detail you will understand what I mean. BEFOR01 (talk) 04:11, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You're not saying anything other than "Don't bludgeon the process." I'm not trying to force anyone to accept anything. If I were, I would be trying to convince each of you one by one. Don't take this the wrong way if you have a reasonable response, please share it. I've already explained the importance of this page and my reasoning in the talk section, and you're free to review it.
    Moreover, my comments are aligned with both WP:RS and WP:N principles. Of course, you're not obligated to agree with me, but in that case, please engage directly with the content of the arguments and base your criticism on clear reasoning. That’s how a healthy consensus is built. BEFOR01 (talk) 04:26, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This siege isn't even mentioned in high quality academic sources, the fact that you said above "This siege was a decisive event that directly influenced the outcome of the entire war." is baseless for the least, if so, then the Ottomans would have won that war or, at least it would have ended inconclusively. Anyway, the lack of academic sources dealing with this so-called siege makes me think that this article is not notable enough.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 16:08, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Tucker(lists sieges of Baghdad and 1821 isn't shown) and Farmanfarmaian states no siege occurred. The Cambridge History of Iran(Hambly, Gavin R. G), doesn't mention a siege, and neither does The Ottoman-Iranian borderlands: making a boundary, 1843-1914(Sabri Ates). --Kansas Bear 13:09, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    First of all, thank you for your message. Why didn't you give the volume or the relevant page in the sources you gave?
    +But no problem, I would like to help you with resources objectively.
    Historian Sabri Ateş provides a detailed account in The Ottoman-Iranian Borderlands:
    “In early October 1821, Dawlatshah moved from Kermanshah… Victorious, he appointed Abdullah Bey Baban and advanced to Baghdad. According to Abbas Amanat, only the formidable city walls and the pleas of Shaikh Musa Najafi stopped him from taking the city. Cevdet Pasha and Longrigg argue that Davud’s strong defense and reconciliation with Mahmud allowed the Ottomans to emerge victorious.” (According to what the book says, this must be it)
    — Sabri Ateş, The Ottoman-Iranian Borderlands p.53
    This is corroborated by Iranica:
    “Dawlatshāh advanced deep into Iraq but was stopped by the formidable walls of Baghdad and dissuaded from taking the city by the intervention of Shaikh Musa Najafi… This campaign ended with the prince’s death from cholera at Ṭāq-e Garrā.”
    Encyclopaedia Iranica, Dawlatshāh Golden word: Baghdad
    Kaveh Farrokh writes:
    “Mohammad Ali Mirza conquered Sulayméniyah and following the capture of Samarra, besieged Baghdad. Davood Pasha of Baghdad dispatched an emissary to negotiate with Mohammad Ali Mirza. However, cholera had broken out among the Iranian troops, and Mohammad Ali Mirza fell victim to it, dying near the ancient Sassanian site of Ctesiphon on November, 22, 1821”
    Kaveh Farrokh, Iran at War, 1500–1988
    And Graham Williamson(Farmanfarmaian) notes:
    “In October 1821, after overcoming the Ottoman army in Kurdistan, the Persian army was encamped within a day’s march of Baghdad. Although the city walls were formidable and stores well provisioned, the Pasha was outnumbered and had insufficient cannon to man all the capital’s bastions. Instead, however, of storming the city or enforcing a siege, Mohammad Ali Mirza simply stayed in-situ encamped for some weeks before retiring.”
    While Williamson avoids the word "siege", his description encampment right outside Baghdad for weeks after defeating Ottoman forces meets the characteristics of a failed siege attempt.
    +Developments such as the preparations for the defense of the city, the triggering of the danger of siege and the withdrawal of the army indicate that there was a de facto (actual) siege.
    — Graham Williamson,Farmanfarmaian The Turko-Persian War 1821–1823/War Peace In Qajar Persia p.100
    Turkish historian Yılmaz Karadeniz states:
    Iran besieged Baghdad in 1821, pushed by Russia. The siege lasted eight months. Disease and losses forced Abbas Mirza to withdraw.”
    — İran Tarihi (1700–1925) p.288
    It would be better if you read the sources carefully before commenting on them, sir.
    Note: Cambridge History of Iran (Hambly, Gavin R. G) I just can't seem to find this one but it appears instead in the Cambridge-approved Sabri Ateş
    Note 2: You added Tucker but you directly searched for "Siege of Baghdad (1821)". (If it didn't come up when you searched for this and you defend this, you need to do a better research, sir.) Do you really plan to find what you're looking for this way? If you used 1821 as the golden word, you would have found what I meant. Page count: 929
    Tucker: “1821 Persian forces under Muhammad Ali Mirza attacked in the direction of Baghdad, but a cholera epidemic that also took its command- er's life forced the army to withdraw. Abbas Mirza, however , enjoyed success in Armenia.”

  • Comment Just to clarify, I would also support a redirect. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:42, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Before the Erzurum Battle was deleted in the war template, weren't you in favor of deleting the page? So why did you change your mind and support redirecting this page like the others after these battles were deleted? Just asking, (this is not a denial answer.) BEFOR01 (talk) 17:15, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I did not change my mind, I still also support a deletion. I also think it’s pretty obvious why I stated that, and I respectfully don’t need your understanding/approval for it. Please drop the WP:BLUDGEON. My last reply to you in this thread. HistoryofIran (talk) 18:35, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't need you to accept or not. I don't care if the page is deleted. I am within the rules of Wikipedia and I do not support minimizing an event that affected history. Also, don't make me repeat the same things. You say I am sabotaging the process, but I comply with WP:RS and WP:N.
    If what you don't like is about the sources, I will still state it. Don't forget that there is such a thing as translation. From the beginning, I have been trying to translate a lot of foreign sources that will fit Wikipedia one by one in order to understand them. I don't get tired when I do this. I sense that you are showing a prejudice just because the language is different. Those who really want to research and learn will not even be hindered by such problems.
    +If necessary, let this be my last message, and at the same time, I do not want to argue with you. As I stated above, I asked a question, but I never bow down to injustice. BEFOR01 (talk) 20:06, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Romania at the 1972 Summer Olympics. The Mitteilungsblatt des Heimatverbandes Banater Berglanddeutscher is a newsletter of a German speaking community in a region of Romania, from which the page subject hails. Community newsletters like this are common in linguistic communities, and contain news and commentary in the manner of a newspaper, although they are community affairs, often with small teams and also often, these days, with support from EU funding. I am inclined to accept it as equivalent to a community newspaper. However there is, per nom., very little in these about the page subject. One calls him a 1970s top swimmer in an article about the history of swimming in Reșița although the artcle is really talking about the book, Cronica înotului sportiv res¸it¸ean, 1924 - 2004. Oameni, fapte întîmplǎri. It is a passing mention, and not clear whether they mean top swimmer in the city/region, or more probably, in Romania. The other article is a report of a meet up of swimmers from Reșița, and has a touch more. We learn that he trained for the Munich olympics under Prof. Hans Schuster and held a Balkan record for 1500m freestyle. This is not WP:SIGCOV. However, it confirms participation at Munich in 1972. A redirect is fine, but we simply do not have anything that shows significant secondary coverage in independent reliable sources. I did find a listing in a book that is not on the page, but again, it was just a listing. We have not met WP:GNG nor WP:BASIC. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:24, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      Ah, yes. I discounted that one as Almanahul Sportul means "sports almanac". It is a listing of data such as results.

      The title of the source doesn't matter. A media outlet can be titled "almanac" and can still have significant coverage.

I'll admit this might be a hasty nomination, but this article is very poor quality and when I went to search for sources on Google News (the current sourcing is questionable, to put it lightly), I only found 2. These already insufficient sources fail WP:BLP1E, as far as I understand. I'm not familiar with BLP policy and frankly don't intend to be, but I didn't want to just template this article and move on.

Fairly unremarkable other than a few published papers on a largely niche topic (tornadoes/severe weather). By this stretch, every meteorologist (especially many professors in academia) who author papers should have Wikipedia articles, which isn't the case. United States Man (talk) 20:54, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Hate to say it but I agree that they just don't meet the bar of notability. I think instead of making new articles on meteorologists we should, as a project, work on improving the quality of existing articles; see the dreadful state of Ted Fujita, for instance. Departure– (talk) 14:56, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll also say that the USA Today source doesn't mean anything for notability in my eyes. Lyza was brought on as an expert to explain the individual study about the same topic covered at EF5 drought. This is, in my eyes, as routine as coverage gets - especially his qualifications being described by USA Today as simply lead author on the new study about the EF5 tornado drought. It would be different if the article was specifically about Lyza, or if Lyza was described as being top of his field or otherwise academically vital.

  • Weak keep - enough sources to justify notability.
WFUM🔥🌪️ (talk) 20:14, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Several secondary reliable sources besides academic papers reference or interview/quote Anthony Lyza and his works, including the New York Times and many other articles: [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Clearly passes the bare minimum of WP:PROF and WP:BIO, especially since the US government even posted he is a tornado “expert”. WP:PROF says if a person passes any of the listed items, then they are notable. The first point of WP:PROF is “The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.” That seems clear, given the tons of sources discussing Lyza and his work. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:01, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GS gives 167 cites. Normally 1000+ cites is required for notability under WP:Prof#C1. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC).[reply]
@Xxanthippe: Oh! That is what you meant by not many GS citations. Most meteorologists use respective country-based academic publication societies, rather than GS to find sources. For example, in US is the American Meteorological Society (AMS). Just by looking at the AMS-website metrics alone for the 2025 paper that Mr. Lyza was lead author on ([32]) show 7281 full text views. AMS does not keep track directly of who cited the paper, only records of downloads and views. That paper has over 7,000 views just since January 2025 (it was released January 23, 2025). Hopefully that helps. AMS contains probably 80% of the meteorologically published papers that are often cited in textbooks or by other meteorologists. This is one of those fields of science where GS is actually not the most used/useful measurement tool. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 00:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is not WP:Notable SpelunkerOfMine (talk) 20:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have searched for sources using Google News, and the only article I've found is a Manchester Evening News article which gives it a trivial mention.[1] They do come up when you google their name. But other than this Wikipedia article, most of these results are self-published or contain basic facts (e.g. contact directories LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.). This continues until the third page of Google, where the results start getting irrelevant.
The only sources that are used to support claims about AWI are AWI's website and a report by various religious and humanitarian groups which I think fails verification. There are also 3 sources which are not used to substantiate claims about AWI, Daily Kos and globalsecurity.org, both of which are noted for unreliability (WP:DAILYKOS WP:GLOBALSECURITY), and a U.S. Marine Corps report.

There are several pages of discussion in this book on nursing responses to crimes [33] in "The Effects of Gun Trauma on Rural Montana Healthcare Providers". Theoretically, AV sources from reliable networks are also reliable, in which case this also had an episode of the MSNBC series "caught on camera" made about it.

Available information suggests this is a WP:ROTM general aviation accident stemming from tragically common circumstances (an amateur pilot performing a instrument landing system approach close to minimums in a fast airplane), and as such, it fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENT, in particular WP:EVENTCRIT #4. It is possible that WP:LASTING effects or WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE will justify a standalone article, but at this point, I think that the article was created WP:TOOSOON. I suggest that it be merged with The accident can be adequately summarized in a paragraph at Columbia County Airport, the intended destination of the flight.

I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this article on a school, and added another piece of local news coverage about its establishment. I can find very little non-primary coverage, however, and don't think it meets WP:GNG or WP:NSCHOOL. It was established in 2018, so it may be WP:TOOSOON for it to have demonstrated notability.

Redirect to its multi-academy trust, Leigh Academies Trust, is a possibility, but I didn't want to go ahead and do this without consulting the community, partly because the Leigh Academy Blackheath article is well-developed for what sources there are, and partly because I'm not entirely convinced that the trust itself is notable (mostly primary sources or local coverage in that article too) - so didn't want to redirect from one article with weak notability to another.

This is a bit better than the version in draft that I speedied (and I suspect there's admins who'd push the button if I slapped a {{db-g11}} on it again) but I can't find any evidence it meets our inclusion guidelines. First ref has no mention of the subject at all; second is a two-sentence passing mention that says the author doesn't know a thing about it; fourth isn't on the web but predates the site by six years; fifth also isn't on the web but is a doctoral dissertation. The third, from Strategy First International College (which doesn't seem to have an English web presence to speak of outside of YouTube), is the closest to usable, but it's still shallow. I can't find anything better - a lot of blog posts and trivial feature comparisons and a strong impression of a recent astroturfing campaign, which this article is probably part of. —Cryptic 19:04, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I found the following two academic articles, both published in peer-reviewed education journals, which analyze the efficacy of the plagiarism checker relatively in detail: 1 2. Agree with nominator that many of the news sources are blog post-esque, "list of best plagiarism checker" type articles which are not allowed per WP:NCORP but I think these two articles together are sufficient. The article does need work though, as it currently comes across quite promotional, so I could also be sympathetic to draftifying it until someone can rework it.

  • Leaning draftify. I don't think the article in its current form is acceptable, but the two academic articles found by @Flipandflopped just above may be enough to write a more concise article on Plagiarismcheck.org.

This article about an Indian coworking provider fails WP:NCORP.

WP:NOTNEWS. Insignificant clashes article, which doesn't have content that can be expanded. Can be merged to Rojava–Islamist conflict. Ecrusized (talk) 16:41, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support since this article looks to just be about a rather small skirmish between some tribal gunmen and the SDF, but I think its info should be merged into the Eastern Syria Insurgency article instead; the article on them doesn't mention them as being explicitly Islamist, and they're already in the article's infobox. Asclepias tuberosa (talk) 16:54, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For me it should be linked with Deir ez-Zor clashes (2023) because they were not only in 2023 but also in 2024 because Eastern Syria Insurgency is only for rebels, ISIS and Baathist remnants against the Syrian democratic forces. 2800:200:F4D0:97B:EC4D:94C4:86A5:E42B (talk) 20:47, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The thing is that the 2023 Deir ez-Zor clashes looks like it's about a specific wave of clashes against the SDF in August and September 2023, so idk if the Diban Clashes' info should be moved there. However, you are right in that the Eastern Syria Insurgency article doesn't focus on the tribal militia. Maybe there could be a new article created specifically about tribal militias attacking the SDF (e.g. Tribal Insurgency in Eastern Syria), and the Diban Clashes' info could be merged there? Asclepias tuberosa (talk) 21:33, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Insignificant clashes article which gives little to no information to the readers. WP:NOTNEWS. Can be merged to Western Syria clashes (December 2024–present). Ecrusized (talk) 16:38, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support since the article's small (the timeline only has 3 small sentences), but idk if it should merged into the Western Syria Clashes article because that's specifically about Latakia/Tartus and western Homs/Hama (though it could just be renamed to something like Assadist insurgency).
I was gonna propose making a Mohsen al-Haymed article, but he's only been reported on in 3 separate months - April 2024, January 2025, and March 2025, which might not be enough coverage for a separate article.

Comment. The scope of this article fits better within Western Syria clashes (December 2024-present), yet obviously these clashes did not take place in western Syria. Building off of this, there's significant discussion on the name of the article, and at the current moment it seems that the general consensus leans towards changing the title to a more inclusive name, but disagreement exists on what to change the name too.

  • Keep. As shown above, NPROF is clearly met. While there seem to have been significant shenanigans with COI in the past, the primary author of this version of the article in October 2024 denied a COI (User_talk:Boltor#October_2024) and they are an established user, not a SPE. Taking care due to the history of COI, and due to a relative paucity of independent sources, our best possible article may be pretty limited at this time, but that is an editorial issue not a question of deletion.

Draftify. Looks like there is discussion of it in academia.

I skimmed through the article, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but it seems like the article doesn't provide much analysis on the Guild itself. It's only really mentioned during the plot summarization. It's definitely a good article, but it's not particularly useful as a source here. Industrial Insect (talk) 17:49, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I guess we are getting into details here, but my 2 cents here: Not sure if the importance of the Spacing Guild and its bureaucratic structure as the real power in the empire is still plot summary or already analysis. But like below, brief but non-trivial analysis of the Spacing Guild being an expression for capitalism: "Moreover, the capitalistic nature of the spice trade and the Spacing Guild are ripe for an analysis based upon the issues of capitalism and globalization discussed in Empire." Would be interesting if someone followed up on Rudd's suggestion of analysis. Google Scholar shows two hits among the six citations of Rudd's paper, both paywalled.

@Daranios A recent consensus at Wikipedia:FILM determined a new Valnet consensus which deprecated the usability of opinion pieces, which states that they should be avoided. Granted the Wikipedia:VG consensus still says they can be used so long as they don't get counted toward notability, but I do hope it clarifies things a bit Valnet-wise, especially in Collider's case, as WP:FILM specifies Collider outright among the listed sources. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 22:48, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Google Books search is pretty fruitful. Early hits are A Dune Companion, which has an entry dedicated to the Spacing Guild; with plot summary but still relevant with regard to notability. The Worlds of Dune has a long chapter titled "The Spacing Guild"; while the limited parts I can see mostly talk about other topics, p. 169 makes the point that the Spacing Guild is the most science-fiction-y element in Herbert's Dune. And especially relevant non-plot analysis in Sun Tzu in Space, p. 40-41, of the Spacing Guild's role as a non-governmental institution of power with comparison to the British East India Company, and a bit more on p. 158. Daranios (talk) 09:58, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep No adequate BEFORE conducted, was found notable in clear consensus 3m ago, and WP:NOTCLEANUP unquestionably applies.

Jclemens (talk) 04:55, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • From a WP:WHYN perspective it is to some extent a moot point whether sources that solely summarize in-universe information (whether that's a plot summary, character biography, or something different) count towards notability. Articles must not consist solely of in-universe information (WP:NOTPLOT, WP:WAF), so we need sources that cover real-world information regardless. The essay WP:ALLPLOT makes both the point that Plot summaries necessarily involve selecting which elements of a fictional work are important enough to include in the summary and are thus secondary, rather than primary, sources. and a Wikipedia article based on such sources would need to incorporate other elements to be an optimal encyclopedia article (though the latter statement is too weak—an article that relies entirely on such sources is not just not "optimal", it is a WP:NOT violation and thus not even acceptable). TompaDompa (talk) 16:48, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Even when discounting Valnet sources there is easily enough coverage by secondary sources for a full article with referenced plot summary and analysis. The fact that this is not yet in place is no grounds for deletion in accordance with WP:ARTN and WP:Wikipedia is a work in progress.

Chronology of the repression of the Catalan language (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

The article is a list which constitutes original research and has an inherently biased point of view which is impossible to contextualise as a list-type article.

It is a partial translation of this article in the Catalan Wikipedia, which has only been translated until 1939. The article is essentially a list of events relating to the Catalan language which editors of the Catalan wikipedia feel constitute "repression", ordered chronologically. The list takes an inherently Catalan nationalist perspective, as it begins from the premise that Catalan should be the dominant language of the regions of Catalonia, Valencia, Northern Catalonia, Franja de Aragón, the Balearic Islands and El Carxe. This leaves no room for discussion of other perspectives and creates an article with an inbuilt POV.

The list is also WP:OR, as it synthesises many sources which (usually but not always) relate to language policy in Spain and France, and assemble the events described into a chronology which is present in none of them. This is particularly evident in the post-war sections of the text, which have yet to be translated, but is still a problem in the text as found here.

An article which discusses the history of state action to minoritise Catalan would be welcome, but it needs to be presented in a neutral way and be discursive, rather than presented as a chronological list of selective facts. Boynamedsue (talk) 12:39, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dutch Caribbean (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 propose that this article be deleted in its entirety for the following reasons:

1. No legal or political entity called “Dutch Caribbean” exists. The term is an informal geographic expression with no basis in international or Kingdom law. There is no official governing body or jurisdiction under this name.

2. Misrepresents the constitutional reality of the six territories. Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten are autonomous countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba are special municipalities of the Netherlands. These islands do not share a government, constitution, or legal framework.

3. Violates Wikipedia’s policies on neutrality and verifiability. The article presents “Dutch Caribbean” as if it were a real entity, but provides no legal sources or primary references to support that framing. This misleads readers and contradicts Wikipedia’s standards.

4. The article has real-world consequences. It undermines the recognition of Curaçao and other countries as independent legal entities, causing confusion in international systems and reinforcing outdated colonial narratives.

5. The term should not be used at all. The article is built on a false premise. “Dutch Caribbean” inaccurately groups legally distinct and autonomous countries with Dutch special municipalities, creating a misleading political narrative. The term should not appear in relation to these islands at all — not even in passing — as it distorts their individual identities and legal status.

Conclusion: This article promotes a non-existent political entity and should be deleted in accordance with Wikipedia’s core content policies. Neutralwikifixer (talk) 11:35, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. None of the points made here support deleting a 14-year-old page:
1. "Dutch Caribbean" may not be a single legal entity, but it's a notable and widely used geographic and cultural term. WP routinely covers non-political groupings (e.g. Balkans, Scandinavia), and the article clarifies the components' distinct statuses.
2. It accurately details the differing constitutional realities, clearly distinguishing between the autonomous constituent countries and the special municipalities of the Netherlands. I don't see a misrepresentation here.
3. It looks well-sourced and neutrally presents the concept by explicitly explaining the distinct legal statuses of the islands; nowhere is it implied that the region is a unified political body.
4. It clearly explains the distinct statuses. Concerns about reinforcing narratives are subjective; the article primarily documents the factual situation.
5. The term "Dutch Caribbean" is common and notable; you haven't presented any evidence that it creates a "misleading political narrative". — Arcaist (contr—talk) 13:37, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTTRAVELGUIDE. A few WP:RESTAURANTREVIEWS in Melbourne papers are not enough to demonstrate notability especially given the WP:PROMO tone of a lot of this article. The Herald Sun is dubious as a reliable source, nor is notabily inherited because the restaurant is owned by a prominent local family. Dfadden (talk) 11:32, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink, Business, and Australia. Dfadden (talk) 11:32, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete agree with nom, it needs more than restaurant reviews in Melbourne papers, otherwise we'd be creating articles for every restaurant reviewed. LibStar (talk) 23:25, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Nom and Libstar appear to be referring to WP:AUD requirement. That requirement gives an example of how small a newspaper would be serving for it to be too small: e.g., the weekly newspaper for a small town. Melbourne has a population of over 5 million. The AUD guideline requires at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary. It gives an example of regional as "(e.g., the biggest daily newspaper in any US state)". The Herald Sun is the biggest newspaper in Australia, and the Herald Sun's reliability concern is about their factual reporting, not about opinions presented about restaurants. The concern wrt opinions there would be that this was undisclosed paid promotion; there is no evidence that is the case here, indeed it is extremely unlikely.
If you exclude the Herald Sun, there is still The Age which easily meets the AUD requirement. There is plenty of other significant coverage which add up to pass WP:NCORP.[67][68][69][70] The article also doesn't read as having a particularly PROMO tone (It has been described as reminiscent of Italy's streets and piazzas. can be better attributed). It seems like editors think anything that can reflect positively on a business is PROMO. I see BLPs all the time that are far more positive: look at any celebrity FA (e.g. Katy Perry, Oscar Isaac so on.) Sorry this is so long, I really do not understand how the nom perceiving the article to have a PROMO tone would make restaurant reviews in what they describe as "Melbourne papers" not contribute to notability: WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 09:26, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking as the person who wrote WP:AUD ~17 years ago, Rollinginhisgrave has the correct interpretation. Anyone who wants to learn more about AUD may find Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)/Audience requirement or the longer version at User:WhatamIdoing/Audience requirement. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:43, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: per Rollinginhisgrave. I see no major issues with tone. The Herald Sun is a reliable source, especially when they are reporting outside of the political realm. Satisfies NCORP. GMH Melbourne (talk) 09:21, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Rollinginhisgrave, WhatamIdoing even if the sources are valid per WP:AUD, they dont really demonstrate anything other than this place exists and has generally favourable reviews. That sounds pretty WP:MILL. MILL may not be formalised policy, but it is good advice on sensible interpretation of WP:GNG and explicitly says: Some articles not to create based on common sources only are:
*A restaurant that has been given reviews in the local papers
Yes, you can argue that these papers have national circulation, but these WP:RESTAURANTREVIEWS are clearly written for a local audience. If this is the standard we accept than any restaurant in a capital city that is reviewed by that city's major newspaper is inherently notable... Giving private businesses wikipedia articles based solely on reviews starts to sound a lot like a WP:TRAVELGUIDE and free publicity does it not?Dfadden (talk) 20:26, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Dfadden, I used small-town vs big-city restaurant reviews as an example at User:WhatamIdoing/Audience requirement#Examples, and I think you should read it.
I am confused by your claim that https://www.theage.com.au/goodfood/melbourne-eating-out/first-look-at-the-stately-enoteca-boccaccio-above-balwyn-s-boccaccio-cellars-20230614-p5dgki.html (the source I clicked on) is "clearly written for a local audience". I expected to see something like "a nice little place to visit if you're already in the neighborhood" (a polite way for reviewers to say "not the worst, but not worth a trip"). Instead, the opening sentence says "The D’Anna family has been luring Italians...to Balwyn for 60 years". Traveling from Italy to Balwyn requires 20 hours in an airplane. That's not local. Maybe you made some assumptions?
Poking around briefly, I find that the restaurant has won the 2023 "Best Hospitality Interior" from Belle (an Australian architectural/design magazine). That's another national source indicating notability. I'll go add it to the article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:10, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The D’Anna family has been luring Italians... it requires a bit of WP:SYNTHESIS to suggest this is saying people are travelling 20 hours from Italy just to come to this restaurant. Especially given the large Italian diaspora that exists in Melbourne and without anything to support this claim. If someone can cite a review in an Italian paper, sure! Or if there was a report saying a notable Italian person had travelled to Australia just to visit this place, or even stopped in while in town, then that would be evidence to support this claim. In the absence of this, it might as well be editorial hyperbole. And I have re-read your link to AUD examples. It is making a reasonable assumption that because a place has a large population, major newspapers in those markets will only cover businesses which stand out. However, that alone does not make a restaurant notable as it still needs to satisfy the top level criteria at WP:NORG. That requires editors to consider whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education. So apart from the suggestion that people have travelled from Italy and an award for interior design, can you direct me to an article that provides discussion of the cultural, societal, economic or historical impact of this restaurant? An example of this standard being met is Lentil as Anything which was the subject of a book and a television documentary and catered for an International Conference. Also see Colonial Tramcar Restaurant - when it closed, The Age described the event as "A sad day for society", evidenced by support and sadness expressed in the broader community. Dfadden (talk) 23:02, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
On the contrary, it doesn't require any SYNTH at all. SYNTH requires a minimum of two sources, and we are discussing only the interpretation of a single source. You might credibly say that I'm making a big assumption that the "Italians" who are so lured are being lured from their home country and not just from a hotel down the street. I would have to agree with you: it could be editorial hyperbole. But the ambiguity prevents me from agreeing that this review is "clearly written for a local audience", as you claimed above. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:45, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Age's Good food guide is a national magazine. A chefs hat rating is akin to a Michelin star in Australia. GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:24, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly carries some weight and I am not denying this is a very well regarded restaurant. But again, does the hat provide social, cultural, historic or economic significance? I dont believe it does; this is not the only hatted italian restaurant in Melbourne - in fact, its not even in the AGFG top 5 rated italian restaurants in Melbourne[71]: Bottarga in Brighton, Al Dente Enoteca in Carlton are both double hatted and have no articles. Grossi Florentino (double hatted) has an article, which establishes cultural, social and historical significance by virtue of its Murals being classified by the National Trust and WP:LASTING coverage over 95 years. There are 4 other Italian restaurants in Melbourne that received a score of 13 chef hats, above Enoteca Boccaccio's score of 12 and none of them have articles either. So what is so significant about this place that it deserves its own article? Dfadden (talk) 05:51, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The paragraph of WP:ORGSIG that you partially quote above is about not disfavoring small businesses just because they're small, or over-favoring large businesses because they're big. We have, for example, had people suggest in the past that all publicly traded companies should be automatically notable, or that all companies employing more than n people should be notable; ORGSIG opposes this kind of bias. Editors who are thinking "Who cares, it's just a little restaurant" need to think about whether there might be something else going on – something that might even make them more successful when they search for sources. ORGSIG is not a requirement that organizations must have some cultural significance that is legible to Wikipedia editors; it is not saying that WP:ITSIMPORTANT is a good reason to keep an article. It's trying to get editors away from a knee-jerk "just a little restaurant so it's obviously non-notable" mindset towards "Let's see whether there might be something else going on here."
The rest of this comment is a case of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Bottarga and Al Dente Enoteca are probably notable, even though nobody's written the articles yet. We have many Category:Lists of Michelin-starred restaurants; maybe there should be a list of these restaurants. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:55, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for engaging in the discussion with well-thought out replies. I'm not at all suggesting that small businesses are less notable than large ones. In fact, I think the example I gave of Grossi Florentino supports that small businesses can indeed be notable. I guess in this case, I have considered your proposition Let's see whether there might be something else going on here and I'm entirely unconvinced that there is anything beyond Enoteca Boccaccio being a restaurant that makes good food and has nice decor. It does sound like a great little restaurant and I'm convinced I would like to eat there. But it's more the the kind of thing I'd expect to read about in a travel or food guide, certainly not an encyclopedia. There does have to be, as you put it, something else going on here that makes it notable otherwise any restaurant with nice decor and a review in a major newspaper becomes apparently encyclopedic content. I don't think that is a good thing for wikipedia. Anyway, I have said far too much on this now, so I will pipe down now and let consensus determine the outcome. Peace. Dfadden (talk) 23:57, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If this is the intended meaning of ORGSIG, it should be amended to be clearer. I don't Dfadden was unreasonable in making this reading. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 00:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The unfortunate reality is that there just aren't many high quality sources covering esports. ESPN shuttered their coverage, the listings at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Sources#Esports are pretty small press, and many are region-specific or esport-specific to MOBAs. However, I think I cobbled together enough from the best sources that were available to pass the bar of WP:GNG. At the time that I wrote the article, they were a professionally signed player with major tournament wins, and considered one of the best players in the world in a notable esport by the community-accepted ranking system (If Red Bull is a RS and they devote extensive coverage to the Panda Global rankings, that should be enough). It's been a long time since I participated in AfD, so I'm out of practice and that's the best argument I can make at this time. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:46, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regional varieties of Stroganoff are already listed in the Beef Stroganoff article. Korv Stroganoff is already mentioned in Beef_Stroganoff#Nordic_countries and its typical ingredients and serving methods are adequately summarised there.

The citations used in this article are also primarily from supermarket websites and cooking recipe blogs; not (WP:RELIABLE). Lea 4545 (talk) 10:00, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. Revise the information in the Stroganof article instead.Blockhaj (talk)

Keep. From a quick search there appears to be enough coverage in Swedish RS to support notability (and I am not counting any recipes). Remember that article quality is not a reason for deletion. Sjö (talk) 10:45, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To further note, majority of the recipies are from major supermarkets. Also, if i remember correctly, when i made the article i added separate doublets for all claims. So in short, "not WP:reliable" does not apply. Blockhaj (talk) 10:50, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then Merge: The deletion proposal was not based on subject notability, nor primarily on article quality. The topic is already adequately covered in the Beef Stroganoff article, making a separate page unnecessary. This constitutes a unacceptable type of content fork per WP:REDUNDANTFORK.
Per WP:PAGEDECIDE: "At times it is better to cover a notable topic as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context." This applies here, as Korv Stroganoff is a regional variant of Beef Stroganoff and benefits from being presented within the broader context of related variations. Lea 4545 (talk) 12:07, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Korv Stroganoff only derives from Beef Stroganoff, but it is its own dish. It is a completely different staple in Sweden and Finland. With this logic it makes more sense to merge Haggis into Pölsa, as the former is just a lamb variant of it. Blockhaj (talk) 12:52, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Korvstroganoff is a separate dish. It has a distinct role in Swedish society (essentially a kids' meal), very different from the role Beef Stroganoff plays in other Western countries. --Soman (talk) 20:41, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

According to this logic, Prime Minister should be decided only after the election. This article doesn't demand a separate article.

List of aftershocks of the 2025 Myanmar earthquake (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)

Few aftershocks are notable on their own hence a standalone list is not warranted. Wikipedia is not a database for every single event without any substantial notability. They are common and expected for large earthquakes of this size. The list just feels like a directory of events recorded by USGS. If there are notable aftershocks, they will receive coverage in List of earthquakes in 2025 of the article about the mainshock. The rationale to keep based on one or two aftershocks is not legit justification. On notability based on media coverage, they lack WP:DEPTH and are WP:ROUTINE stories that can be included in main articles. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 06:38, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Neither Dora nor I was editing back then, so I'm not sure about that. Maybe @Mikenorton: could help us out here (he participated in the discussion). Worth noting that there is now an open-access study in a peer-reviewed journal about this topic ([83]), although it did not exist during the time of the RFC, nor is it currently in use in the Nepal aftershocks article. Also worth noting is that while this discussion was ongoing, an editor removed all Myanmar 2025 aftershocks deemed insignificant by them, so there's only a single one left.

  • Delete - "no aftershocks are notable" is incorrect, but there were only two notable aftershocks I could find - the 6.7 right after and the 5.x like two days ago that caused a bit of damage. Large amounts of aftershocks are common after major quakes.

  • Delete – Lists of aftershocks , whether embedded or standalone, are problematic for a few reasons:
    1. There's a lack of encyclopedic value. As Dora mentioned, we are not able to compete with the completeness of authoritative sites like the USGS. Their comprehensive catalog is just that. [84]
    2. As it stands, the list does not mention any inclusion criteria; if its intention is to include all aftershocks, it is failing. The link just there lists 44 shocks and our list has 26. Lists need to have clearly-defined criteria (WP:LISTCRITERIA). The lists that WikiProject Earthquakes maintains, either by year or by region all have these criteria, so what is going on with this one. I removed the non-notable items from the list a few days ago and was reverted by someone that is participating in this discussion, with their edit summary saying "mass removal not rooted in inclusion criteria". The criteria needs to be defined in the article or on the article's talk page.
    3. The list is a great example of WP:LISTCRUFT; in other words, it's an indiscriminate collection of information that lacks context. It's rather superfluous and trivial; if there are any aftershocks worth mentioning, just do that in the article. The list was created 11:22, 28 March 2025 by Noble Attempt. At the time that Noble Attempt linked the main article to the list article, the main article's size was just 54,247 bytes. At the time of the lists creation, the main article only contained four sentences regarding aftershocks. If any improvement to the aftershock content was needed, it could have been done right there in the main article. Remember that Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and that aftershocks are not a major component of this event.
    4. The next topic is about sourcing. When EF5 challenged the initial PROD, they listed a number of links in their edit summary. Let's look at them one by one.
  • The Hindu dropped a story on 13 April that says right in the title "New earthquake shakes central Myanmar... ...no immediate reports of major damage or casualties" [85].
  • The next one is from The Times of India and it says that people were frightened and rushed outdoors. Some plaster cracked and suspended ceiling tiles fell. In other words, they're not claiming any new structural effects. Plaster and/or drywall cracks rather easily and those ceiling tiles can come down pretty quick, too. [86]
  • The next one is from The Nation in Thailand and it says "468 aftershocks registered since March 28". If our list is meant to be all-inclusive, it is coming up short. [87]
  • NBC News said that people went "screaming into the streets" after several aftershocks. No further mention of these events is discussed in the article; it instead focuses on the war and the effects of the mainshock. [88]

These don't mention anything of substance related to the aftershocks. Maybe more importantly, they are non-authoritative entities (with regard to earthquakes) and the stories exist to promote their advertising click-through rate. Dawnseeker2000 20:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails to meet WP:GNG. Most sources are not significant coverage or from non-reliable sources. Does not meet WP:ANYBIO, WP:CREATIVE or WP:ENTERTAINER.

Any independent coverage of her from reliable sources seems to fall under WP:BLP1E. A one-off stunt on Twitch to attempt to circumvent guidelines is not notable.

Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED; however, just because it is not censored doesn't mean that pornographic persons get a pass on meeting notability because people are too afraid to nominate them out of fear of being called a censor.

(renomination after first nomination was speedy-closed due to article being on the Main Page) ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 02:48, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. As the creator of the article, I obviously am advocating for a keep here. It was already speedy kept because it appeared on the main page in the DYK section. This means it already underwent the DYK review process which ensures that referencing is suitable and appropriate, and ensures the article is presentable. If one goes to the DYK nom discussion, they can see this was a bit more of an involved process too. There, I addressed why specific sources worked and conceded ones that didn't. Those that totally didn't have since been removed and replaced. Ultimately, I made sure during that process to have sources within the article to be in-line with how WP:RSP and WP:VG/RS allows for specific sources to be approached/implemented. I apologize if this is in any way inappropriate or out of place, but I figured a courtesy ping for that DYK nom's reviewer (@Tenpop421:) and promoter (@Launchballer:) may end up being helpful to further understand why that DYK nom was successful and found no issues with sourcing.
To be totally comprehensive/fair and address the concerns listed here:
  • "Fails to meet WP:GNG. Most sources are not significant coverage or from non-reliable sources. Does not meet WP:ANYBIO, WP:CREATIVE or WP:ENTERTAINER."
No, in my view, this does not fail to meet WP:GNG. Idk why "most sources" matters here (and I know it doesn't as per WP:GNG only asking that articles have significant coverage in reliable sources, but doesn't set any real hard lines on how many of the article's sources need to be meeting that criteria, though I assume the bare minimum is two since plural "reliable sources" is written in criteria). Yes, the majority of sources I incorporated do not do full deep-dives on Morgpie. Some of them mention her in passing, and some of the sources the article uses are there just to verify context around her (i.e. the Ars Technica source). However, there are present multiple sources that do satisfy the criteria of being significant coverage and reliable: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I'd also argue other sources such as 6, and 7 help supplement/flesh out the article's sourcing. Basically, if there was a lack of sourcing present in regards to satisfying WP:GNG, it would be made up by the whole being greater than the sum of the parts here (in terms of sourcing). But like I'm saying, ample sourcing is there.
Also WP:ANYBIO, WP:CREATIVE, and WP:ENTERTAINER is met in aggregate here. Those criteria are so briefly detailed/described, but points 1 and 2 in WP:CREATIVE are met here. Those two points that ask the individual to (1) be regarded as important/cited by peers and (2) have originated a new concept/theory/technique. That's covered by the fact that there is sourcing present (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) that cites her originating metas (essentially Twitch content-equivalent of a concept/technique/genre) that influenced other creators on the platform (whether they like her content or not). Here's an additional source of one of the platform's biggest creators (Cr1TiKaL, who in this case would be considered her peer or at least contemporary on Twitch) calling her the "most influential". I would say this sort of thing also helps satisfy point 2 ("The person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.") of the WP:ENTERTAINER criteria.
  • "Any independent coverage of her from reliable sources seems to fall under WP:BLP1E. A one-off stunt on Twitch to attempt to circumvent guidelines is not notable."
This wasn't a "one-off stunt" though. Sourcing present, especially from 2024, make it clear that she has multiple times influenced other creators on the platform (as well as the platform itself to respond to her content). Sentences from sourcing present in the article include: (1); "This isn't the first time Morgpie's creativity has led Twitch to a reactionary policy change"; (2); "several risqué streams hosted by one of the platform's most notorious boundary pushers. Morgpie, who played a pivotal in the "topless meta" that flourished on Twitch last December, found a new way to challenge Twitch's censors". The other points in the WP:BLP1E criteria ("The person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual" and "The event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented" are also not applicable here; as an active streamer, she is not even trying to remain a low-profile individual; and her role in the "one-off stunt" here (again not a one-off, anyway, but if it was,) was both substantial and well documented.
Also, as a further consideration, she was a pornographic actress prior to becoming a Twitch streamer, which further suggests she isn't notable for one event, and this is also bolstered by her winning of major porn industry awards (1), 2) which also establishes her as notable outside of the Twitch content sphere.
  • "Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED; however, just because it is not censored doesn't mean that pornographic persons get a pass on meeting notability because people are too afraid to nominate them out of fear of being called a censor."
I actually don't care about this. I definitely am assuming good faith here in the nomination. I also honestly wouldn't know whether pornographic-industry bios are more or less likely to be tagged for deletion. I do think the nomination (in my view) is closer to snow side of the spectrum than not, but I don't think it was maliciously intended nor do I think you're trying to be a censor.

  • Delete. Comment: Notability demonstrated by several incidents involving apparent nudity causing a series of reactions from others. At the same time, the article's section on this topic is sensationally written and artificially inflated through opinions and statements from official Twitch, other streamers and magazine/news editors as well as questionable "general opinions" to show more content than what is being shown. While it absolutely fails WP:BLP1E, being a lower profile individual with little notability outside of the stunt. It does demonstrate the most basic of GNG, so I'm not considering a Delete just yet. Still, I don't believe users need the picture of topless Morgpie or her playing Fortnite greenscreened on her buttocks to identify her behavior of streaming with a risque sense of humor to apparently varied reception as a subject of (exaggerated) discussion in the article. MimirIsSmart (talk) 13:41, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You yourself stated "Notability demonstrated" and that is passes GNG (also shouldn't and really doesn't matter if it passes the "most basic" criteria or not: if it passes, it passes). So the notability here isn't the issue. So already, that's one rationale in the nomination you disagree with. You agree with the "WP:BLP1E" concern, but as I said above in my initial comment, there are in fact multiple moments in her Twitch content career described in the article's prose and indeed cited by the sources used. I addressed that BLP1E concern in my comment, and I feel like calling what she did a "stunt", likely unintentionally but still, downplays the content in the article? If I recall correctly, none of the sourcing describes it as a stunt, so trying to place that description on her content wouldn't be in bounds here.
    Your other issues seems to be with how the article is written and the imagery used. Those shouldn't come into play in regards to deleting the whole article. Those are issues that can be addressed by improving the article instead of just nuking it entirely. But at the same time, how is the article written sensationally? Like where is the sensationalism? Genuinely, please point out the concrete examples or instances of that, because I wrote the majority of this article, and actually do not appreciate that it's being called "sensational". I tried my best to write it in the objective, encyclopedic wikivoice that is expected on here, so if you're going to call it sensational, then point out the instances where that may occur and I'll see if I can tweak/fix/address it. But doing a quick re-skim over the prose right now, I don't really see what you can be referring to.
    I also don't get your concern about "artificial inflation" of the prose. You mention that's done by opinions and statements from "official Twitch, other streamers and magazine/news editors as well as questionable "general opinions" to show more content than what is being shown." But okay yeah, I think including how Twitch, the platform itself, officially responded to her content is absolutely critical and necessary here... so what's the issue? Including that info doesn't "inflate" the article, "artificially" or otherwise. How other streamers reacted is needed here too, because it provides a sense of the content's reception, and the article doesn't go overboard with any sort of exhaustive list of every single person's feelings on it. Also, the deletion nomination invokes the rationale of the article supposedly failing WP:CREATIVE. That guideline literally mentions peers regarding the subject as important as a criteria that if met, establishes the subject's notability. So how then does including other streamers' (i.e. peers') opinions on her as influential "inflate" the article? Regarding "Magazine/news editors" opinions, those should be more than fine to include because they give a third-party opinion/view of the subject and her content. I actually think there's only one such opinion included in the article (the Stanley quote), and aside it's just standard inclusion of third-party reception of someone's content. What's the issue there?
    Other statements in the reception section are included to describe+cite (1) the influence of Morgpie's content on other streamers' output (i.e. copycat streamers), (2) comparisons to a previous meta (which I found relevant to include because Morgpie commented on this herself), and (3) how Twitch users reacted to the policy changes that, and this is critical to understand here, occurred in response to the content that Morgpie popularized on the platform. How is any of that undue or inflationary to include and how would that be trying to "show more content than what is being shown" (which I am already unsure about what that means).
    The images used are also in-bounds here, as they help give a visual to the article (and there is no explicit nudity used, so it doesn't go past any potentially gratuitous boundary), but even if you don't think or don't like the images used, again that concern shouldn't be concentrated into the deletion of the article, so I don't think it's relevant to bring up nor necessary for me to elaborate further about it in this particular space/discussion.

    No need to apologize honestly. I do understand the goal here is to be constructive overall. Also, sorry if I came across aggressive in any way, I think I might have after re-reading my reply a bit, and if I did, that was not intentional. Soulbust (talk) 16:04, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Unless I misread the article, it wasn't "a one-off stunt on Twitch to circumvent guidelines", but multiple stunts on Twitch: December 2023 and March 2024, each of which got coverage. Twitch seems to be where she works, and doing stunts is a reasonable first order approximation to what being on Twitch is.

    The article on Vijay Nahar should be retained.

His work spans historical biographies, political commentary, and education-focused literature. Below is a list of significant sources that discuss his contributions:

    === Literary & Historical Commentary: ===
    === Library Catalogs & Book Listings: ===

    Vijay Nahar is an Indian author and historian known for his biographical and historical works on notable Indian political figures and Rajput kings. His book Swarnim Bharat ke Swapndrishtha Narendra Modi has been referenced in multiple media outlets, including The Sunday Guardian, for its early commentary on Narendra Modi’s developmental vision and personal life aspects, including his marriage, which was highlighted during political discourse (The Sunday Guardian, Amar Ujala).
    Nahar’s biography of Vasundhara Raje, Vasundhara Raje aur Viksit Rajasthan, is among the first dedicated publications on her political career and is noted in news profiles (Jansatta). His contributions to historical research include books on Samrat Bhoj Parmar, Mihir Bhoj, and Rao Akheraj Songara, which have been cited in literary platforms such as Sahitya Kunj and Sahitya Nama, and are among the few comprehensive modern works available on these historical figures (Sahitya Kunj, Udaipur Kiran).
    In the context of Maharana Pratap, Nahar's writings have been used in regional discourse to support the view that Pratap was born in Pali, Rajasthan—challenging the traditionally cited location of Kumbhalgarh attributed to Colonel Tod (Bhaskar, Samvad). His contributions have also been recognized through awards and coverage in local media outlets, emphasizing his role in historical interpretation and education.
    While online listings like Amazon do not independently confer notability, they help identify the range and accessibility of his publications. Furthermore, his books have been featured in school libraries in Rajasthan, according to a report by The Times of India (TOI). Gujjar.rudraa (talk) 03:49, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    His book on narendra modi got media coverage like 1, 2. While the sunday guardian have only passing mention at last which is not enough.

    == Sources supporting notability ==
    Most of the sources cited to support the notability of Vijay Nahar are from Hindi-language newspapers and online publications. However, these are established and widely circulated media outlets in India, such as Dainik Bhaskar, Amar Ujala, Rajasthan Patrika, Punjab Kesari, Jansatta, and the Hindi edition of Times of India. These outlets are considered reliable sources under Wikipedia guidelines for regional and vernacular coverage.
    The references include interviews, book reviews, coverage of public recognitions and awards, listings of published works, and inclusion of his books in institutional libraries. Several sources document his contributions as a biographer of public figures like Narendra Modi, Vasundhara Raje, and Maharana Pratap. Many of these sources offer English summaries or have accessible translations. Gujjar.rudraa (talk) 14:49, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BIO. The interviews sourced in the article at present are by reliable sources, but this is arguably routine seasonal coverage.

Keep - Matt Elento ("Matt") competed in the NA LCS, a fully professional league, and has reliable, independent coverage from ESPN, invenglobal.com, tsn.ca, Polygon, DBLTAP, thenextweb.com etc. Goodboyjj (talk) 16:02, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I contend, as I did in previous discussions of other LCS players, that the coverage presented is routine and not in-depth. There are around 300 players who have competed in the LCS, most of whom have some routine coverage (e.g. rosters swaps, season interviews) by esports and esports-adjacent outlets. Not all these players deserve an article though; most of have never made it to the top-three, many not even to playoffs, and most have never won individual honours either (e.g. MVP, all-pro team, rookie of the split, etc.)
My argument is therefore:
  1. The coverage in independent sources is trivial, and;
  2. The subject has not done anything notable.
