Non-notable figure skater despite one national championship win (for Great Britain). Nothing since retirement. Google search yields nothing but wikis, scoring databases, and one article mentioning that the European Championships where he finished in 25th place were held at the same rink where he trained.

This is another long-unsourced article of a Slovak men's footballer named Tomáš, whose career is mostly confined to clubs from lower league football clubs as well, before disappearing in 2011. I have searched on Google using a few keywords (e.g. "Tomáš Ďurica futbolista" and "Tomáš Ďurica Žilina"), but couldn't find any in-depth coverage of him that would meet WP:GNG. Best secondary sources I found were interviews from 2003, 2022, and 2023 – the latter two of which are paywalled. Clara A. Djalim (talk) 11:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So as I mentioned on my AfD for their CEO, here I am. There were... quite the volume of WP:PRODUCTREV to get through, but nothing with significant coverage of the company, and barely anything on any specific product. Though this was not the primary focus, I do not believe any individual product of theirs is notable either, even ignoring questions of ORGIND or RS. The coverage of their events would seem to be excluded on WP:SPIP. I don't see any plausible way to meet WP:NCORP here. Alpha3031 (tc) 10:50, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this article about a local councillor; there is additional local coverage from the same newspapers already referenced, but no additional national coverage. She was a councillor for less than a year, was investigated for electoral fraud but no action was taken, and she was nominated for, but did not win, an award. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, but I don't believe that contributes to notability (see brief discussion from 2011 here). I do not think she meets WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or WP:NPOL.

This wikipedia page has already been granted a B class Wikipedia status as defined The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. This therefore is relevant page and is particularly important given that this page represents the youngest BAME councillor in the history of the city. This seems like a malicious second attempt to request deletion of the wikipedia as the country falls into a general election. All aspects of the wikipedia page have been properly referenced as approved by various sources. With reference to Royal Society of Arts, the individual is listed on their pages.

Semi-advertorialized article about a filmmaker and photographer, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for filmmakers or photographers. The strongest attempted notability claim here is a table of "nominations" for awards at various film festivals, except there aren't actually real awards in the mix here: three of the listed festivals are just "screened" or "selected", with no evidence of any actual award nominations or wins shown at all, and most of them are "to be announced" because the festival is still in the future and hasn't even released its program announcements yet, so it still isn't even confirmed that the film will even screen there at all, let alone win any awards.
All of them, further, are "sourced" to the self-published websites of the film festivals themselves, rather than media coverage, and the rest of the footnotes are also a mix of primary and unreliable sources that aren't support for notability, rather than WP:GNG-building coverage in media or books.
There's also a possible conflict of interest here, as the creator and primary other editor have been blocked as sockpuppets in an WP:SPI check following their behaviour in the related Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reign in Slumber discussion. Bearcat (talk) 14:21, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These sources are just passing mentions. The subject fails to meet WP:GNG.

Article has been undeleted following soft deletion from the previous AfD. Despite that, I still think that this fails WP:NPRODUCT and WP:NSOFT, as searching for "zero install" (with quotes) on Google returned no reliable independent secondary sources. GTrang (talk) 04:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch 04:16, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I have changed the article so it now describes a concept, not the particular bit of software, and therefore think that the WP:GNG is more applicable. Some of the old information (about some product) is kept as a section. I am not attached to this text, so if it helps to keep the article, the whole section "Zero Install" (note the uppercase letters) can go. A decent amount of OK sources can be found if the same search is performed on Google Scholar. The problem is that most of these sources do not provide much coverage. The only coherent source found by me that has WP:SIGCOV is a bachelor's thesis, and thus somewhat weak from the reputability perspective. --Викидим (talk) 04:34, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak keep since it is not a product, but a kind of process the essays are not relevant. I think more time is required to allow improvement. I remember this concept from over a decade ago, so it is not a new-fangled idea. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:46, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This article has become some kind of Frankenstein combination page that disambiguates between several usages of the term zero-install, even though the article was originally about a specific piece of software. I would rather have this article deleted and then a new article created about zero-install created, if the general concept is even notable in the first place.

  • Weak keep or Redirect: inadequate BEFORE - the usual sources for baronetcies (cf the many hundreds of other articles on baronetcies) are available if anyone takes the trouble to look. However, it's true that the article is in poor shape and inaccurate in part, by comparison with Cokayne (the standard and authoritative reference on baronetcies). The article can be corrected from that, but frankly, little would be lost if it were redirected to Lindsay baronets#Lindsay baronets, of Evelick (1666) (per WP:ATD - "Lindsay of Evelix" is a plausible search term), where the additional references would be more useful.

A small artificial reservoir in suburban Krakow; fails WP:GNG. Both sources in the article are WP:USERGENERATED; a BEFORE search does not unearth any additional qualifying sources. Under WP:NGEO, an artificial infrastructure entity qualifies for notability under GNG and otherwise redirects to the notable feature that prompted its creation. In this case, the river the the lagoon impounds is not notable and thus, without qualifying sources, neither its the lagoon itself. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:50, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I think the area surrounding the lagoon is a park, recognized for the bird-watching that can be done there. (See the references.) The parking available there sounds like further evidence of the local council regarding the location as important for recreation (including bird-watching), although perhaps the parking is also used by water department staff. Together with everything else, this adds up to notability. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 03:51, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why not try to add on to the article rather than delete it? I worked on it for literally 2 1/2 hours trying to find the most information I could on the subject. I did it right before I had to go to work too.

Demondude182 (talk) 07:52, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, the current rule is supposed to be that we can't trust what companies have to say about themselves. This includes pres releases, and most of the regular business announcements that you see, which are mostly just copy-and-pasted press releases. It used to be less strict, and the articles on those other local cellular providers were probably created back then, and nobody has gotten around to reviewing if they need to be deleted since then.

This proposed commuter train station does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NSTATION Sources 1, 4, and 5 have WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS of this planned station in the broader context of the Valley Link system; sources 2 and 3 are primary sources. With this station not scheduled to open until 2028 at the earliest, a standalone article is WP:TOOSOON. I propose to redirect this page to Valley Link until there is sufficient SIGCOV in reliable sources to warrant a standalone page. Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:54, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Per WP:FUTURE "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." According to the sources, "The Valley Link project has been awarded $25 million by the state.That funding will go toward Valley Link’s first phase — the 26-mile section from the Pleasanton BART station to the proposed Mountain House station. The overall project is expected to cost $3.6 billion." — Maile (talk) 19:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Regardless of how certain the WP:FUTURE is, the station still has to pass the WP:SIGCOV test to be notable, and it doesn't -- it has passing references in sources focused on the whole system. It will someday, but until then, a redirect is appropriate. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:56, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. Fails NOT and GNG. The above keeps have entirely missed the part of FUTURE that says future events should be included only if the event is notable (bolding mine); there is no IRS SIGCOV of this event, so it emphatically fails that requirement.

There was an AfD on this previously that determined to keep this article on the basis that AfD is not a place to resolve sourcing concerns. I think there are sourcing concerns with respect to notablity, which is a valid reason to bring an AfD. I can't find any reliable article that actually makes comparisons between different AMP stacks. The two sources in the article are about individual stacks, and don't make any comparisons between different stacks. HyperAccelerated (talk) 23:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for now. This is a list article, it doesn't need sourcing for each individual linked page. However, many of the linked articles have their own problems; in particular, WIMP (software bundle), AMPPS, Zend Server, and WampServer might not survive AFD. It seems plausible that either those pages might be merged here, or that, after some of them would be removed, there would not be enough content for an article separate from LAMP (software bundle). Until that is resolved, I think this should be kept. Walsh90210 (talk) 01:59, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see how this is long enough for its own article nor how there are enough mentions as a whole to meet WP:NLIST. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Aaron's comment above. I don't see how anything you brought up here pertains to WP: NLIST. HyperAccelerated (talk) 03:11, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If there are ten stand-alone articles on "LAMP variants that aren't on Linux", it seems reasonable that there would be a list of them somewhere (possibly at LAMP (software bundle) or BAPP rather than a stand-alone article, but somewhere). On the other hand, if six of those stand-alone articles are merged or deleted, the value of a list article is clearly decreased. Walsh90210 (talk) 04:14, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The number of stand-alone articles in a list and its notability have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Please read WP: NLIST. HyperAccelerated (talk) 13:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability. - a longer list is more likely to fulfill a useful navigation purpose. Walsh90210 (talk) 21:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You have shown nothing to indicate that this list fulfills any of those purposes. HyperAccelerated (talk) 21:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a band, not reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The attempted notability claim, that they had a single peak #51 in the charts, is unsourced and has proven entirely unverifiable, and #51 is in no way a high enough chart position to constitute and instant notability freebie without adequate sourcing -- but the only source cited here at all is a (pporly written) directory entry, and on a WP:BEFORE search for other sources all I'm finding is their own hometown local paper and an alt-weekly, which isn't enough to get them over WP:GNG if it's all they've got.

Categories[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS[edit]

Battles by location in Italy[edit]

Nominator's rationale: WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. Follow-up to recent precedents, e.g. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 May 24#Battles by location in Germany. Upmerging those that already have dedicated Military history of Fooland cats, Renaming those that have at least 5 P to Military history of Fooland, Upmerging those that have fewer than 5 P to History of Fooland for now. NLeeuw (talk) 09:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Central Greece[edit]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SHAREDNAME. Central Greece (region) is the modern administrative region (Περιφέρεια perifereia) established in 1987. Central Greece (geographic region) is the historic geographical region (γεωγραφικό διαμέρισμα geografiko diamerisma) abolished in 1987. I have WP:BOLDly renamed Central Greece (an WP:UNSOURCED article) to Central Greece (geographic region), and turned Central Greece into a DP, hoping to clarify the situation. Splitting the category is the next logical step. Child categories can be renamed if so desired per WP:C2C once this split is approved. NLeeuw (talk) 08:08, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is too simplistic a solution for a complex problem. I'll illustrate the problem with maps:
If we want this category to be only about the modern administrative region (perifereia) of Central Greece, it's not just about removing Attica, it is also removing parts of Western Greece, removing the northeast coast of the Pelopponese (or not?), removing Kythira (or not?), but adding Skyros (or not?), and so on. NLeeuw (talk) 10:11, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People with acquired citizenship or Naturalized citizens[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Merge; I don't see any difference between "Acquired citizenship" and "Naturalized citizen". Since I can't be sure, I will start this as a small Cfd before deciding on continuing with the rest. Omnis Scientia (talk) 07:23, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am inclined to support this, as I can't tell the difference either, but I am open to counter arguments. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:25, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Battles of the Middle Ages by location[edit]

Nominator's rationale: WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 May 24#Category:Battles of the Byzantine–Bulgarian Wars in Thrace. All three were upmerged to Category:Battles of the Byzantine–Bulgarian Wars without a location marker. Given all considerations, I would recommend Option 1, but I'm curious to hear what others have to say. NLeeuw (talk) 06:47, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Courtesy ping @Marcocapelle for follow-up. NLeeuw (talk) 06:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Prefer 1 too. Option 2 (having articles directly in a medieval category) would conflict with Category:Conflicts by time which mostly contains battles and option 3 and 4 are far from ideal as already pointed out by nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taoists from Imperial China‎[edit]

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OCEGRS, trivial intersection with religion. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion.

  • Question Okay, I am in favour of upmerging for now all those categories that have fewer than 5 items (I had recommended such a follow-up, so thanks for that!). But you would even upmerge a relatively well-populated category like Category:Tang dynasty Taoists (26 P), as the specific dynasty is considered "trivial" in addition to each of these people being Taoists from Imperial China? Just making sure that we're all on the same page. NLeeuw (talk) 06:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • We might make an exception for the Song and Tang dynasty, since Taoism appears to be most widely accepted under these two dynasties. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:42, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to @Mason: In your last comment, you said to Yinweiaiqing you have made A LOT of categories that are still underpopulated. That's probably not true. As far as I know, all the underpopulated categories that I listed for possible future upmerging were created by other people over the course of many years, some going back to 2010. These were not created by Yinweiaiqing a few days ago just to populate the Category:People from Imperial China by religion. I didn't check all edit histories, but all categories I checked weren't newly created by Yinweiaiqing a few days ago. NLeeuw (talk) 06:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for now for the tiny categories. Re; Good to know about Yinweiaiqing . I still stand by my repeated request that they populate their categories. But I do recognize that since I've raised the issue they haven't been making single person cateogories. Mason (talk) 11:53, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Syndromes with autism[edit]

Nominator's rationale: "Syndromic autism" is much more commonly used than "Syndromes with autism". For example, on Google Scholar, "Syndromes with autism" OR "Syndrome with autism" yields about 516 results[8], whereas "Syndromic autism" gives about 3,470 results[9]. Additionally, renaming this category would also make it correspond to Syndromic autism article. Digressivo (talk) 05:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Career achievements of snooker players[edit]

Category:Cartoon Network stubs[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Stub category no longer populated enough to warrant retention. As always, stub categories need to have a minimum of 60 articles, but after I detagged a handful of articles that were too long to be tagged as stubs at all this went from 25 to 20. It has existed in its current form since 2011, after being deleted as underpopulated in 2007 -- but was then tagged as underpopulated again in 2018, until that template was deleted at TFD, so it's not entirely clear that it was ever really adequately populated at all.
Even the 20 pages that are here are a bit of a random grab bag, as it's populated mainly by video game or album tie-ins to Cartoon Network programming and/or foreign channels that franchised Cartoon Network or Boomerang branding, rather than things that actually have much to do with the Category:United States television stubs parent -- so it's not at all clear that there are actually very many things that could be added here to get it back over 60 articles again. It's not generally standard practice, at any rate, to stub-tag things for overly specific associations like particular TV networks; WikiProject Cartoon Network already has project templates on the talk pages anyway, so this isn't serving any important purpose that isn't already being served elsewhere.

Omaha people[edit]

Nominator's rationale As there is only one recognized Omaha tribe, the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska (that is the official tribal name on the federal register), change this category's name to match the official name and get rid of the clunky parentheses.

  • Support per nom. Recommend renaming main article Omaha people to Omaha Tribe of Nebraska, to avoid future confusion. Category:Omaha people is not in use because of its ambiguous name, so the main article runs the same risk. (It would have been convenient to rename the main article first and then speedy the category per WP:C2D, but oh well, here we are ). NLeeuw (talk) 07:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hospitals in Dharwad[edit]

Nominator's rationale: These categories are one half of a twin city Hubli-Dharwad. The cities have a single municipal corporation called Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation. (It's like the Twin-Cities Minnesota). Almost all of these categories were made by now blocked sock puppet. Mason (talk) 01:31, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Engineering colleges in Prakasham District[edit]

Nominator's rationale: A category for Prakasham District doesn't exist. Upmerge Mason (talk) 01:19, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Pop-band-stub[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Stub template of unclear utility. It's only used on a grand total of ten articles, so it doesn't have its own dedicated stub category and instead just sorts those articles into the generic Category:Musical group stubs -- but because every last one of those ten articles features this template alongside a "Nationality-band-stub" template that sorts its articles into a more specific national or continental subcategory of Category:Musical group stubs, that means this template is adding nothing but unnecessary parent-and-child duplicate categorization.

Redirects[edit]

Propaganda bullhorn[edit]

PoV redirect (no matter how true it might be). Not a defining description of target article — Czello (music) 09:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, but not for the first issue raised by nom-- PoV redirects are okay as per WP:RNEUTRAL, because redirects are usually hidden from view. If someone holding a certain PoV were to use a term, and someone else wanted more information on what that term meant, we shouldn't face them with the search screen just because the term they want info on is PoV. No, the reason this redirect should be deleted is because it is vague as all hell-- I sincerely doubt RT is the only thing that could ever be described as a "propaganda bullhorn". There is the argument that it should be retargeted to somewhere else instead of deleted-- perhaps to an article that discusses the generalities of news sources as propaganda machines. If someone can find a good alternate target, I'll adjust my vote accordingly. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 11:25, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Refine. to RT (TV network)#Responses. Lunamann is right that when they point out that being POV is not relevant, however they are wrong with the assumptions. While other things have been described as a "Propaganda bullhorn" the only thing to have been notably described as such is RT, I have to exclude "Russia" from Google searches to find other uses and every single use on Wikipedia is related to RT. So while this is in theory vague, in practice there is a very clear primary topic. There isn't, unfortunately, a single perfect target among the various mentions on en.wp. I think the one I've picked is best but I'm happy to hear arguments for alternatives. Thryduulf (talk) 11:51, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

British intelligence services[edit]

Suggest a redirect to British intelligence agencies: the plural is unlikely to be used when a specific agency (MI6) is intended. UndercoverClassicist T·C 08:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget as per nom. The argument given makes perfect sense to me; MI6 stands for Military Intelligence, Section 6, while its alternate name, SIS, stands for Secret Intelligence Service, neither of which are plural. The proposed target is similarly sensible; I don't see enough of a difference between the term "service" and the term "agency" to argue that this redirect shouldn't go here. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 11:29, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget per nom, this is referring to MI5, MI6, etc. generically or collectively not to any single agency specifically. Thryduulf (talk) 11:53, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of canon law legal abbreviations[edit]

Misleading redirect: the target is only about Catholic canon law, and not about canon law in general.

Thus, I believe this redirect should be deleted. Veverve (talk) 08:25, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers (Mellowhype Album) "Numbers" (Mellowhype)[edit]

This malformed title was only used for six minutes in 2012. I almost tagged with WP:G6, but I'm not sure if twelve-year-old redirects still fall into that criterion in practice. jlwoodwa (talk) 06:17, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hangkong[edit]

No affinity for romanized Chinese. Mia Mahey (talk) 04:51, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per WP:RLANG. There's an argument to be made that this should be retargeted to Hong Kong as a typo. I believe that said argument is wrong; there's two characters of difference between the redirect and "Hong Kong", which is beyond the scope of WP:RTYPO. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 11:31, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
RTYPO is dependent on plausibility not number of characters difference. The two are frequently correlated but not synonymous. In this case there is no evidence that it is a common typo for (or other misspelling of) Hong Kong Thryduulf (talk) 11:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There are a number of things that use this in English but their all either non-notable, partial title matches, or both. Nanchang Hangkong University is by far the most common use of the word on en.wp but never alone. Thryduulf (talk) 11:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Mason (TV Series) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) – (View MfD)​

Seems to be complete fiction but maybe not blatant enough for WP:G3. Appears to be by the same vandal that created multiple articles relating to Alexander Bickerton, see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Alexander Lukinson, as well as several other MfDs that I am happy to produce upon request.

Draft:The LaRussos (TV series) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) – (View MfD)​

This isn't blatant enough for WP:G3 but it is a definite hoax. See previous deletions that led to a deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:BBOC, the supposed broadcaster for this TV series, and also Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Alexander Lukinson, which contains the rationale for the deletion of Draft:LaRusso (TV series).
