He is an academic working on tourism and hospitality.[1] Turchla (talk) 02:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. His Google Scholar profile [2] has citation counts that are too low to pass WP:PROF#C1. No other form of notability is apparent. The previous deletion was an A7 speedy, which does not allow us to immediately delete this as a re-creation of a deleted article (that would require a full prior AfD), and I think the claim of writing "popular scientific articles" is enough to save this version from A7, but without much stronger justification it is not enough to save it from AfD deletion. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:19, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He is one of the succesful young scholars, his count of citation is low on Google Scholar yet but, 70 is even good for his early stage academic career (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=WNDLyfgAAAAJ&hl=tr&oi=ao). However he wrote one article in German language as well. And sone others in english language. This is good paths for his early stage academic career. The academic has written autobiography and was guest on national tv channel. This enhances his recognition. He desires to be on wikipedia.

List of Indian Premier League awards

Delete just because the IPL takes every stat is can think of an then sells someone sponsorship for an "award" for it, that doesn't mean we need this awards article. All sufficiently covered in the stats article. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:50, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The closest analog is Women's Big Bash League, the longest-standing women's T20 franchise league. Women's Big Bash League#Season summaries has a table listing the recipients of the "Most runs", "Most wickets", "Player of the Tournament", and "Young Gun" awards for each season, essentially the same as IPL's "Orange Cap", "Purple Cap", "Most Valuable Player", and "Emerging Player" awards covered in this article. IPL's Orange and Purple Caps have also received significant independent coverage in major cricket news websites, such as ESPNcricinfo. The merge target proposed by @Vestrian24Bio, List of Indian Premier League records and statistics has a different scope, focusing on all-time records, analogous to Women's Big Bash League#Statistics and records. Finally, merging to Indian Premier League#Awards is not an option here as the main IPL article is 173,624 bytes (almost twice the size of the corresponding WBBL article). I would support the removal of sections covering sponsored awards of negligible importance — I would be surprised if the Visit Saudi beyond the boundary longest six award has received much independent coverage — but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater here. Preimage (talk) 12:52, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Preimage: Not sure how this is relevant to WBBL, but even WBBL doesn't have separate articles for this... And also ESPNcricinfo isn't a news website but a WP:ROUTINE coverage. Vestrian24Bio 12:58, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Vestrian24Bio, you stated similar to every other cricket [league] — which is manifestly not the case. ESPNcricinfo (together with The Cricket Monthly, its longform magazine) is widely considered to be one of the top non-paywalled websites covering cricket. Even Wisden's weighted in here — admittedly, the first hit I found was an article on how cricket's long-standing focus on aggregate runs is statistically illiterate and should be replaced with Moneyball-style advanced metrics — but the point is that these awards are considered to be conventionally important. I'd support a merge into Indian Premier League if we could combine the 4/5 most important awards into a single table as the WBBL article manages to do. Merging into the records and statistics article isn't really an option though, its scope is just too different. Preimage (talk) 13:18, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Awards like Orange Cap, Purple Cap and MVP are all noteworthy and covered widely not only in India but outside India too: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. In India, any changes to the holders of these caps and leaderboards receive extensive coverage throughout the season: [10] [11] [12] [13]. In fact, the caps are physically worn on the field by their current holders over the course of the tournament, so these are actual awards with significance and not just stats. As such, merging this article with the proposed target would not be appropriate. A like-for-like comparison would be the FIFA World Cup awards article which covers awards such as Golden Ball, Golden Boot and Golden Glove. The delete voters sound a lot like WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:IDONTKNOWIT. Yuvaank (talk) 18:51, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF, my vote is based on this being a WP:CFORK of the stats article. I know what all these "awards" are. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:35, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Except it isn't a WP:CFORK of the stats article and are actual notable awards as can be seen with the sources I presented. Your usage of double quotes for the word awards just goes to illustrate WP:IDONTKNOWIT unfortunately. Yuvaank (talk) 20:03, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, FIFA World Cup awards won't even be a proper comparison as it's an international competition as opposed to IPL which is a domestic competition. Vestrian24Bio 03:23, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Whether it is a domestic competition or international is besides the point. The basic premise of your nomination is that these awards are not notable and are merely stats. I presented sources from 6 different countries that prove that these are indeed awards–notable ones at that–which have received sustained coverage globally over the years. FWIW, here are some awards from domestic competitions: La Liga Awards, Premier League Golden Boot, Premier League Golden Glove, Bundesliga Awards. You also invoked WP:CONSISTENT in your nomination statement, which is a policy on article titles. Yuvaank (talk) 19:59, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTINHERIT, individual coverage of Orange Cap and Purple Cap wouldn't make the list notable. Vestrian24Bio 01:43, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTINHERIT is an essay and not a guideline/policy set in stone. The notability of the list itself is established by articles such as Scroll.in, The Indian Express, India Today, News18 and Wisden. It is seems individual articles on Indian Premier League Orange Cap and Indian Premier League Purple Cap, which were created by @Magentic Manifestations back in 2015, were merged into this list by @Vin09. I can see the reasoning behind the merge, although these two awards are likely to be notable in their own right. Yuvaank (talk) 09:31, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - People arguing for this topic being notable are arguing on the basis of individual items listed in it being notable, but notability is not inherited. Neither can an sub-topic inherit the notability of an over-arching topic, nor can an over-arching topic inherit the notability of sub-topics within it. Fails WP:LISTN. FOARP (talk) 15:30, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing that out. IPL's yearly awards are presented as part of the post-match ceremony at the end of each IPL final. They are covered as a group each year in regular news coverage of the final (e.g. [14]), as well as in post-season articles like [15] (comparing ESPNcricinfo's own set of awards to the official IPL 2023 Orange Cap, Purple Cap, Player of the Final, and Player of the Tournament awards). Preimage (talk) 02:08, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note, I'd appreciate it if you could also comment on the merge suggestions: the original nominator's comment All this stuff can be and should be included within List of Indian Premier League records and statistics sounds like a proposed merge (to be posted at WP:PM) rather than an AfD nomination to me. If you do consider a merge appropriate, I'd argue that Indian Premier League#Awards would be the best target (as this list was a WP:SUBARTICLE split off for reasons of length), but I'm open to other suggestions: you clearly have more policy expertise in this space than I do. Preimage (talk) 02:08, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be OK with a redirect/merge - it's verifiable content. Not sure about those sources: the first seems to be about the ceremony, the second about Cricinfo's stats. FOARP (talk) 09:13, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Re: sourcing, I'm working off WP:SIGCOV, which states "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, ... [it] is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. The topic of the article we are looking at is 'who won the IPL awards each season?'

The first source is titled IPL 2024 final awards and prize money: Complete list of winners including Orange Cap, Purple Cap and more. It's a beat report to inform readers 'who won stuff last night?', which starts by covering the events of the final, before switching to the award winners. It has a paragraph covering (what it presumably considers to be) the three most important awards, the Orange Cap, Purple Cap, and Emerging Player of the Season, then provides a full list of winners. While the article doesn't go into a huge amount of detail on each award besides listing its monetary value, the list of award winners shares primary-topic status with the winners of the final.

The second source is an ESPNCricinfo post-season analytics article discussing who they consider to be the most impactful players from the 2023 season. It closely references the major IPL award-winners, starting with its opening phrase: Faf du Plessis, and not Shubman Gill, is the most valuable player of the IPL 2023. It reminds readers that Shubman Gill won the MVP and Orange Cap awards two paragraphs later: The Player-of-the-Tournament and the Orange Cap winner Gill was part of a team that had more batters who took up the slack, before noting the Emerging Player of the Season, Yashasvi Jaiswal, was 3rd in their ranking. After more batting discussion, it switches to the bowlers: Mohammed Shami - the Purple Cap winner - came second to Siraj in terms of Bowling Impact per match. While the IPL awards are only a secondary topic of this article, it discusses the four most important/prestigious season-length player award-winners in detail, alongside comparisons to the players their analytics suggest were statistically the best.

ESPNcricinfo sources fall under WP:ROUTINE coverage. Vestrian24Bio 03:03, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The ESPNcricinfo article we've been discussing here is clearly an in-depth news/analytics article (WP:INDEPTH), rather than WP:ROUTINE event coverage. To quote @Black Kite from the latest (2023) WP:RSN discussion in which Cricinfo/ESPNcricinfo is mentioned, WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 417#Reliability of cricket databases:
You're assuming that both sites are purely databases. They aren't. They're actually some of the highest quality sources for cricket, regardless of the fact that their websites also include databases.

Preimage (talk) 03:34, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTINHERIT is an essay though, not a policy or guideline. The list's notability can be established by articles such as Scroll.in, The Indian Express, India Today, News18 and Wisden. Yuvaank (talk) 10:00, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as the discussion on what should happen with this article continues up to today. There doesn't seem to be much debate about sourcing but about whether or not this article is a FORK and whether the content are just stats or notable subjects in their own right. And in the past day, participants have brought up the possibility of a Merge which I think is due more consideration. But if participants could just refer to policies, not essays, and give fuller arguments than just a Keep or Delete and consider other options, it will make closing this discussion in a few days easier.

Delete. WP:NOTSTATS must apply here. ReturnDuane (talk) 15:36, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sources provided here indicate that these awards are considered as a group and meet WP:LISTN. Not sure why WP:NOTSTATS is being cited here, since indicating who wins an award is not a "stat". Yes some of the awards are for things like "most runs" but other awards are for subjective things like Player of the Final, Best Emerging, Best Catch. This is no different from most other major sports leagues where there will be awards for most goals, best save percentage, etc. and isn't a NOTSTATS violation. Even if the list as a whole lacks notability, then the obvious solution would be to create individual articles for each of these awards, since as many even delete !voters have noted, these awards do get more coverage as individual awards and likely meet WP:GNG, than as a group. Merging with List of Indian Premier League records and statistics also makes no sense, since at least the non-objective awards would be neither records or statistics and would require a rename of that page. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 02:14, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It seems to me that Information architecture is one of the sources of disagreement between editors: where should this topic / these topics be covered in Wikipedia to best serve our users? The AfD relisters have encouraged us to consider whether other options would allow us to reach consensus, and @Patar knight's note that this article could be split into separate articles (for the top 3–4 awards) seems like a reasonable approach to me. Reviewing the options listed in WP:Deletion process#Common outcomes, we could implement this via a merge to Indian Premier League#Awards followed by an immediate split to other articles, or alternatively, via dabification. I would be happy to change my !vote to support either of these two implementations. Preimage (talk) 14:18, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Indian Premier League records and statistics, though this should be a talk page discussion. Sandstein 09:33, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, or at worst merge. The half-dozen player and team awards of the IPL are unquestionably notable - plenty of sources have been provided above. I don't see how NOTINHERITED and NOTSTATS apply; there is encyclopedic context established by the sources in the article, and in any case those guidelines need to be applied with common sense, else we would want to delete any spinoffs of major tournaments. There is arguably enough content that a spinoff from the statistics article (which is primarily overall statistics, rather than awards by season) is reasonable, though I'm not strictly opposed to a merge.

Naf War

AfDs for this article:

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

This war is at best a clash with RS attesting it as a event that fails WP:MILNG with routine coverage only. I performed a search and went through sources used on the article and found the following:

van Schendel (in English) does not mention this clash. I added this source to the article because:
van Schendel (translated in 2017) mentions this clash in passing as happening in 2001
Ahmed (Jago News) explicitly discusses how the Naf War was exaggerated by Major General Fazlur Rahman on a talk show.
Tehran Times - article I was able to find through a google search, not the most reliable but is mostly routine coverage from 13 Januray 2001
BBC - article I restored from the 1st deletion, which also describes a short clash on 8 January 2001 and was absent from this article was re-created.
Mahbub Miah (alo.com.bd) describes the War as starting in January 1 2000 and has questionable neutrality and is the lone standout
Online Bangla News- source is peacocking and is the only source that uses January 8 2000

At the very least, the last two sources disagree with other sources I could find and with each other. If we discard those two as unreliable sources, there is not enough coverage for a standalone article. This article should be deleted or at least dratified until a narrative can be ascertained from reliable sources.

For context, this article was deleted before for the same reason as a soft delete due to minimal participation. Editor recreated the article from scratch instead of undeleting. Please do note that I attempted to improve the article as I review and found sources, which is the reason for the directly contradictory information currently present. Prior to my edits, the narrative followed the Mahbub Miah source but with the dates from the Online Bangla News source. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 04:15, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The argument for the removal of this article is not valid. Sufficient references have been provided here, which detail the incident comprehensively. Claiming that the sources are unreliable does not seem appropriate, as the diversity of sources still represents a significant event.
Furthermore, various documents have been incorporated into the article, making the content more credible and informative. An article enriched with references and documents should not be deleted solely due to discrepancies among sources. Instead, such articles should be further improved through discussion and coordination to ensure accuracy. Therefore, I oppose the proposal to delete this article and believe it should be retained. Tanvir Rahat (talk) 11:28, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
New sources added:
Eshomoy article has the same issues as the Online Bangla News article- using several peacocking terms like "The infinite heroism of the Border Guard Bangladesh" and contradiction the Mahbub Miah article by saying that "It is worth mentioning here that the Bangladesh Army did not participate in this war."

Justice.gov article does not mention any clash that occured in 2000.

Imran Choudhury article is a blog, and is not a reliable source as it is a WP:USERGENERATED source
Thank you for improving the article with more sources, but we now have three sources supporting that there was anything more than a minor skirmish- two that agree on key details and one that doesn't. These three then contradict three other sources, including reliable sources from 2001.

The question here is in part, WP:SIGCOV for an event that goes beyond routine coverage in reliable sources. However, my nominiaton is mostly about verifiability (deletion reason 7). Attempts to find reliable sources to verify the claims in the Alo and Eshomoy articles have failed. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 13:19, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I checked all the sources and citations given in the Bengali Language Wikipedia which still states 600 killed and most of the citations were self-blog pages uploaded back in 2021-2022. For reference heres the bengali wikipedia নাফ যুদ্ধ. And self blog pages like [16], [17] . None of the official Bangladesh media like BBC Bangla or Prothom Alo states 600 Myanmar army were killed, instead it was just a clash. Also, it's not accurate to refer to it as a "war." It should be termed "Clashes in the Naf River". Next adding to that, I haven't been able to find any coverage of this war from Western media either. That said, I believe this article is unnecessary and I strongly request its deletion. Tuwintuwin (talk) 15:53, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BIO, WP:AUTHOR No significant independent coverage of subject or CAMW organization she is associated with. Found one write-up in a small alumni magazine from 2005 (http://media.wix.com/ugd/ba8d3a_69ce4f04eab549e8992314f78621c089.pdf). There are a few sentences in larger papers like Fox from 2011 (https://www.foxnews.com/us/jury-convicts-new-york-tv-executive-of-beheading-wife) but doubt it rises to level of notability since they are not specifically about subject.

I did a quick check on newspapers.com and there appear to be several articles where the subject has WP:SIGCOV.

Keep as there are at least three references with significant coverage in reliable sources (see below). These are all published in the Buffalo, New York area but that doesn't dissuade me from notability as the coverage is reliable and significant. It was difficult to evaluate this one because a number of the references were primary written by the subject and this wasn't indicated in the referencing (I fixed that). Again note that this article passed WP:AFC before it was published to the mainspace, a process which from my experience is a vigorous check of an article.

Comments - another day, another article up for deleting that I have a potential conflict of interest, for which I must disclose. The subject and I have both volunteered for not one, but two organizations: NYSBA and the Women's Bar Association, the latter from which we have received awards. We also have a public LinkedIn connection in common, one of my (former) best friends from high school.

Delete - It should be deleted because it doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Despite a few references, most of the coverage is either too minor or doesn't offer significant independent insights into Nadia Shahram's career. The sources listed, such as a 2005 alumni magazine and brief mentions in larger outlets like Fox News, are not enough to establish her as a notable figure. Even with some recent improvements and additional sources, the overall coverage is still limited and mostly self-promotional or not directly about her work, which doesn't rise to the level required for inclusion on Wikipedia.

Weak delete. This is a tough one. There are a lot of passing mentions, but ultimately I don't see enough secondary coverage for GNG, and I don't see enough of her opinions being cited to meet the spirit of NACADEMIC, and her novel has no independent coverage that I can see at all, so there isn't enough to meet NAUTHOR. Taken together there is enough marginal evidence of notability to put me on the fence, but the promotional intent and NOTCV violations push me toward "delete". Ultimately I don't see much that separates her from the average professor of law. Vanamonde93 (talk) 23:44, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Far from my area, yet there seems to be some mentions (via Ebsco) that suggest Desiderio was a well-known skateboarder in the 1980s eg "Pro Skate Couple: Primo Desiderio ("Primo" slide, landing "Primo") and Diane Veerman". Eric Stricker. '84 Versus '04. TransWorld Skateboarding, Nov 2004, Vol. 22, Issue 11; "more like Primo Desiderio, whose routines were all about the music". Little, Monty. The Zen of Freestyle, 2. Concrete Wave. Winter 2015, Vol. 14 Issue 3, p74-79; "A few big names from the '80s showed up, including Primo Desiderio and Per Welinder": Souney, Jared. FLATLAND LIFEAFL ROUND FOUR .Ride BMX. Apr2001, Vol. 10 Issue 4, p134 and a couple of others. Far from significant coverage, but suggest that such coverage might exist if the right sources were searched. Espresso Addict (talk) 18:39, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
From Google Books, [18] has 4 or 5 paragraphs on Primo Desiderio plus 3 pages of instructions as to how to do one of the tricks he invented. Several other book hits for ""Primo Desiderio" skateboard" but no preview available for them. Espresso Addict (talk) 18:53, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hometown Anthem

Non-notable band that has been repeatedly recreated. It was deleted in 2006, editor submitted through AfC and it was declined, so they went ahead and submitted into article space anyways. Also previously created by the same editor under a different title case with lower case for the second word. Hometown anthem

There are many coverage, but shallow in depth and in a passing just enough to verify factual claims. See below for history of attempt to repeatedly create this non-notable band.

I will admit that a flight that never took off and with all occupants surviving is of borderline notability under WP:EVENT. I guess the arguments for are:

A commercial airliner having to be evacuated because an engine caught fire is not normal
The FAA stated that they will investigate the incident, in essence a promise that there will be a follow up at some point, giving the event some duration

And the arguments against being, well, it's just an accident, and everyone got put on a different flight. By airplane accident standards, no harm, no foul.

I could go either way on this one. LilyTurtle (talk) 21:29, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete – Not convinced the event is notable as stand-alone article, even with decent media coverage. Article creation seems to be hasty as WP:BREAKING news. Was originally going to suggest a redirect to a list article (e.g. List of accidents and incidents involving commercial aircraft#2025, List of accidents and incidents involving airliners by airline (P–Z)#U, List of accidents and incidents involving airliners in the United States#Texas etc.), however all incidents on these list either involved fatalities, injuries, or were otherwise more critical in nature. Would not oppose a redirect if so desired by consensus. Bgv. (talk) 22:25, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Concur with "hasty". I saw the page redlinked under George Bush Intercontinental Airport and tried to fill it in from there. To be honest, looking at List of accidents and incidents involving airliners in the United States, it seems that there are incidents that don't involve "fatalities, injuries, or were otherwise more critical in nature" (e.g. runway overruns with no injuries or fatalities, debatable on criticality) in that list that are simply redirects to the airport's accidents and incidents section. Given further assessment, a redirect to "George Bush Intercontinental Airport#Accidents and incidents" seems to be appropriate. The FAA has listed the event as an aircraft accident/incident, so it could go on the lists mentioned. LilyTurtle (talk) 23:08, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify until release. And then see. -Mushy Yank. 19:49, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify until notability can be established. There's just nothing out there that can establish how this film passes NFF or even really give off the impression that more coverage will come about after it releases later this week. It's entirely possible that it might, but it's also entirely possible that it won't. Indie films are particularly prone to getting overlooked by media outlets when it comes to coverage from independent, secondary reliable sources. I'll try and come back later this week and see if there are any reviews, but just based on current coverage I don't see where this passes NFILM. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:56, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the other film passes NFILM and doesn't currently have an article, so I'm going to create one for it. I'm going to give it a bit of a disambiguation (probably Lake George (2024 film)) but after this is closed I recommend moving that one to this title. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 16:11, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Now, I do want to suggest something: if by some chance this movie does pass NFILM upon release I would like to suggest redirecting this to the director's page. In my opinion the current sourcing fails NBIO. There are only two usable sources, one of which could be seen as a primary source (Thrillist article) and another that is at best only borderline usable as it's the NYP and listed in the health section (only articles in the entertainment section are seen as usable, however this one is a bio and not really health claims).

My expectation is this: if the film does gain coverage, it's likely going to be a handful of reviews (unless it becomes a surprising media darling). We could easily cover this in a couple of sentences on the director's page. Retaining the director's page would give us a way to include some of the info from the weaker sources and also a landing page for if/when he puts out other work. Through personal experiences I'll say that bio pages are more likely to be recreated than film pages, so keeping the bio page might also help prevent recreation attempts.

But that's all assuming that this will gain the necessary coverage once it releases. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:18, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I originally closed this as draftify. But then I realised that there's a draft of the same name at Draft:Lake George (film), so I will be pinging the participants who agreed for the current mainspace version to be draftified.

Thanks. I think a merge of both drafts is the best solution. The draft should not be deleted; that would be unfair. -Mushy Yank. 17:09, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I support a merge of the 2 drafts. The one still in draft is very promotional and full of stuff that should not be in the article (Official TikTok account as an example). But, if that can't be done, the article in mainspace should be moved to draft deleting the version currently there. DonaldD23 talk to me 17:36, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy Draft:Lake George (film) and Draftify Lake George (film) -- the articlespace version is cited and non-promotional, whereas the draft is not well cited, is promotional, has been rejected a bunch of times, and hasn't been edited since Nov. 2024 (i.e. it's not active and may have been abandoned). The author of the Draft:Lake George (film) can re-add their content to the draftified Lake George (film) without too much work if they can cite it, and the new draft article can be accepted once there are 2-3 reliable secondary independent sources describing the film. Mrfoogles (talk) 18:29, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to point out that the author of Draft:Lake George (film) (User:Ulyssesgranted) and Lake George (film) (User:Issacvandyke) are the same person, and both accounts have been blocked for sockpuppetry. Meaning I assume they already added the content they wanted to the current article from the original draft; the original draft was first rejected, and then they made a new article in mainspace with a sockpuppet account. - Whisperjanes (talk) 18:51, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this is uncontroversial as stated in the PROD summary. It squarely falls under WP:DEL-REASON as the subject doesn't meet notability guidelines. More than happy to go through the process with as many eyes as needed. While I haven't gone through this process as many times as others, usually when I encounter a WP:DEPROD there is some sort of evidence provided to counter the PROD which wasn't done here so it's outside what I've typically experienced.

Hi B-Factor,
I’ve made several updates to the KDK Softwares article to address the concerns you raised regarding notability and promotional content.
1. Notability: I’ve added independent sources, which provide coverage of the company’s history, partnerships, and industry role, which I believe satisfies the notability criteria for organizations (WP:ORGCRITE).
2. Neutrality: I’ve reworded sections that previously may have sounded promotional.
3. Citations: I’ve ensured that every single sentence in the article is now backed by a citation, and the references are from independent, reliable sources.
I believe these changes address the concerns and ensure the article meets Wikipedia’s standards. Please review the updated version and let me know if there are any further issues that need to be addressed. ShaliniTaknet (talk) 06:12, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: correct title for article appears to be KDK Software, which was speedy deleted as spam in 2011. I can't find SIGCOV in reliable secondary sources to show how this meets WP:CORP, just passing mentions like this, interviews and paid placement like this, and social media. Sources cited are press releases and run-of-the-mill coverage verifying that the company exists, but now how it's notable. Wikishovel (talk) 15:24, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for the input. I'm not sure why the page was created in 2011, since the notability of the company only increased only after 2017, hence the speedy deletion at the time is quite justified. For the latter points, I beg to differ since the sources cited are not just press releases or routine mentions. For example, The Hindu and Press Trust of India independently covered Intuit’s acquisition of KDK Softwares, which is a significant event in the industry. Empanelment by ICAI is another major highlight in the Indian taxation industry, especially after the launch of the new tax regime which posed significant complications and resistance among professionals. Coverage in BusinessLine and ThePrint also to some degree highlights not just the company's presence but its nationwide impact on tax professionals.

Keep: I believe it should not be deleted. It is a notable company in the Indian market, especially in tax field. The article has citations from independent and well-known sources. Its acquisition by Intuit and affiliation with association like ICAI and AIFTP, also, supports its notability.Thecoolfactfinder (talk) 08:58, 25 January 2025 (UTC) — Thecoolfactfinder (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep: The article satisfies inclusion criteria under WP:ORGCRITE, as it demonstrates significant coverage (SIGCOV) in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. While some sources may provide routine coverage, there are multiple instances of non-trivial, independent reporting that establishes the subject's notability:
- WP:SIGEVENT: The acquisition by Intuit was covered by The Hindu (among others), which is a reliable, independent source. This is a significant event in the Indian software and taxation domain.
- WP:RECOG: Empanelment by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and affiliations with All India Federation of Tax Practitioners (AIFTP) shows recognition by notable entities within the industry and impact on the Indian tax ecosystem.
- Independent Coverage: Publications such as ThePrint and BusinessLine provide contextual analysis of the company’s role in addressing post-GST compliance challenges, which is non-routine and shows KDK’s nationwide impact on tax professionals.

Substantial efforts have been made to ensure the article adheres to WP:NPOV and WP:V. Content that could be sounding promotional has been removed, and every statement is now supported by citations from independent, reliable sources.

Given these points, the article meets the general notability guideline (WP:GNG) as well as the subject-specific notability criteria for organizations (WP:ORGCRITE).

A case of evidence versus opinion. Theoretical physicist who moved into econophysics, h-factor WOS 25, GS 26, no major awards. Physics work is solid but does not pass WP:NPROF#C1 -- nobody has argued it does. Originators argues that economics work is notable, despite lack of cites. As noted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Economics, econophysics is not mainstream economics so is not well cited. Notability tag (not by nom) and PROD (by nom). Editors responded with arguments in talk pages of why he is notable in their opinion, and added WP:Opinion to text. Both notability tag & PROD were removed with the argument "passes WP:NPROF#C1 on cites". I believe we always require evidence. Ldm1954 (talk) 16:05, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - here are my arguments why his work is notable:

The Solow Growth Model is notable.
Also the Solow residual is notable, indicating that the model is not complete. (Figure 6.4).
Finding a solution by identifying a third production factor energy as the missing link is notable as well.

Gunnar (talk) 16:40, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"After a detailed discussion of the scientific elements of energy and entropy, Kümmel comes to his main concern, the improvement of economic theory, and introduces energy as a new variable in economics on the basis of scientific results. The result is a model in which the economic production function depends on the factors capital, labor, energy and creativity. Kümmel tests the model using economic data from Germany, the USA and Japan. He concludes his book with the hope for a society that builds its future on reason and general ethical values. “The Second Law of Economics” is very convincing and it is to be hoped that it will help to bridge the deep rifts between the natural and social sciences."

Ayres, Robert U.; Warr, Benjamin (2009). "Chapter 6 The production function approach". The Economic Growth Engine – How Energy and Work Drive Material Prosperity. Cheltenham: Edward Elgar. p. 190. ISBN 978-1-84844-182-8. Retrieved 2025-01-16. Another approach (first demonstrated by Kümmel) is to choose the next-simplest non-trivial solution of the growth equation and integrability equations (Kümmel 1980; Kümmel et al. 1985). [..] Hence, such a model is not ideal for forecasting. What is interesting, however, is the resulting calculated time-dependent productivities, which show a significant increase in exergy productivity and a decline in labor productivity, over time.

At least he has priority in finding a pretty good solution to the known problem. If this was a patent, the early bird would be notable. Gunnar (talk) 21:10, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reiner Kümmel is one of the first scientists who introduced energy as factor of production analytically. Kümmel derived the LINEX production function that depends linearly on energy and exponentially on the ratios of capital, labor, and energy. The LINEX function is the first production function that explicitly models energy’s economic role of activating the capital stock. More specifically, it models the role of energy in increasing automation and in capacity utilization of industrial production. Kümmel derived the LINEX function in 1982, triggering a stream of research on energy as factor or production. Source of first publication: Kümmel, Reiner (1982).

Comment. All these papers are in ecological economics which is a high citation field, please see this link Ldm1954 (talk) 22:42, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Xxanthippe, to expand on my citation conmment, in standard solid-state physics 10 papers cited more than 100 times is about what is expected for a good assistant professor coming up for tenure at a strong R1 university. This is different from, for instance, mathematics where citations are far lower, or HEP where they are far higher. A few papers with > 1000 cites is notable. His area of ecological economics is highly cited, from what I can see higher than solid-state physics. If we said that all Profs with > 10 papers cited > 100 times were notable, then almost every associate professor or higher at an R1 university in chemistry, materials science, physics, economics and a few more would pass R1. As has been discussed previously quite a few times at WT:NPROF, the concensus is that citations have to be considered in context for the field, not as absolute numbers.Ldm1954 (talk) 09:24, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Although he did publish in Ecological Economics in 1989 (Energy as a factor of production and entropy as a pollution indicator in macroeconomic modelling [42]) and 1991 (Heat equivalents of noxious substances: a pollution indicator for environmental accounting [43]), I do not see this broad subject of sustainable economics as his home turf. It is more specialised: the macroeconomics effects in energy economics. Here, there are physicists and engineers that have updated their know-how in economics, and market people who took extra coaching in basic physics. While in the second half of the 18th century it took only a decade or so that the new subject of thermodynamics became generally accepted in the physical domain, I am still puzzled about that energy as a production factor is ignored by mainstream economics although we have seen dire effects on the economy during the oil price shocks in the 70s, the price explosion in 2008 which ended the Great Moderation and the energy shock after the COVID restart in 2021 and the effects of the Ukraine war in 2022. If the cost share theorem was true, the energy price shocks should have shown no significance. Reiner Kümmel provided arguments, that the assumptions of neoclassical economics are wrong in this case: How energy conversion drives economic growth far from the equilibrium of neoclassical economics (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/16/12/125008/pdf 2014). I assume this is a kind of agnotology, not in a sense that there is a malevolent lobby behind like in the case of Big Tobacco, but a kind of firm paradigma which is not easy to put aside. I only noticed once in an IMF-Report on Oil and the World Economy that the authors seemed worried. "For the contribution of oil to GDP, the main problem is that conventional production functions imply an equality of cost shares and output contributions of oil. This has led economists to conclude that, given its historically low cost share of around 3.5% for the U.S. economy, oil can never account for a massive output contraction, even with low elasticities of substitution between oil and other factors of production." (S. 14) And then they cite Kümmel, Ayres and some others to present counterarguments. --Gunnar (talk) 12:05, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Note that this is a guideline and not a rule; exceptions may exist. Some academics may not meet any of these criteria, but may still be notable for their academic work."

"Citation measures such as the h-index, g-index, etc., are of limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied."

"Thus, the absence of references in Google Scholar should not be used as proof of non-notability."

These caveats may be there to prevent identifying only cargo-cult science as notable. Thus, my suggestion is to have a closer look on the improved theory of economic growth with energy as third production factor. It is a tiny, focused subject but without doubt notable. "Growth theory, like much else in macroeconomics, was a product of the depression of the 1930s and of the war that finally ended it." Similarly, Kümmel's work started with the observations during the oil crises in the 70s. Gunnar (talk) 12:08, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I like this paper very much, not because of the mathematical explanation in the 2nd half, but because of the simple English and the Figures in the first half. Especially fig. 1a shows a basic model in economics: Goods and services flow in one direction (and are paid by households), while Land, Labor and Capital flow in the other direction (and are paid by firms). "This view represents, essentially, a perpetual motion machine" as all the goods and services (including capital borrowing and land lending) are circulated after processed or consumed and paid in a constantly spinning wheel. Therefore, figure 2 shows a more accurate model of how economies work. Everything is driven by an energy flow, while its quality is degraded (entropy is increasing). This is not my personal opinion only, but at least his 4 co-authors obviously agree to this interpretation: It is irresponsible to rely in our decision making on economic models, that contradict our reality. Reiner Kümmel has created a sound mathematical foundation by properly integrating energy into the macroeconomic theory. Gunnar (talk) 20:59, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete – if for no other reason than that the "keep" comments are utterly unconvincing, despite clear attempts to make them so. Most comments above revolve around the notability of the subject matter that he worked on (which no-one has suggested is not notable), not this person, and aside from that the traceable citation count, which in the absence of any other evidence is pretty meaningless. Even the not-too-many citations of his papers suggest notability of the topic, not of the author. The content of the article gives little that would make him notable outside of one narrow topic. There are also knowledgable editors here expressing opposition to "keep" without putting it in a separate bullet. —Quondum 23:32, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As you said, nobody questions the notability of the subject matter, then why is he as the first person who pointed out that there is a problem with the growth model's math and developed a solution which shows a good fitting with measured data not notable as well? Gunnar (talk) 08:05, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That is about on par with asking "Why is the sky pink?". Relate any arguments to WP:N. In particular, GNG requires significant coverage of the topic of the article (i.e. the person, not of a field to which they contributed). Einstein's notability is established by what is written about him, not by our opinion of his contributions. —Quondum 12:55, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you want to say by "Why is the sky pink?". Regarding you example of Einstein, that's a bad one, as you don't want to keep only the most noble noble prize laureats and kick out those which have been forgotten. I argue about fact that notability cannot only shown by a citation count but by other means as well. For me it is obvious that improving a theory from economics which disregards some basic laws of physics (reduce the energy input in your country's economy by 90 % and the economy will not shrink by only 5 %, as any kind of transportation, production of goods and food, operation of computers, etc does need energy) is notable. I believe Jeremy Rifkin thinks so as well: "In other words, 'energy' is the missing factor." [44] Gunnar (talk) 13:23, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom of Kannauj

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

This article is a pseudo-historical POV fancruft forked from Varman dynasty (Kannauj) and synthesized with content from other articles. There was no kingdom of Kanauj, it was merely the capital that exchanged hands with multiple powers during the tripartite struggle. This article conflates the time when it was independent as the Varman dynasty and the period where it didn't even exist as a kingdom (Tripartite struggle) to push a fringe ahistorical POV. – Garuda ^Talk! 14:41, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are wrong here. Kannauj was indeed an imperial kingdom atleast till 500 years from Maukhari dynasty of Kannauj to Gahadavala dynasty of Kannauj with several dynasties in between. How can you call it a fringe theory when a simple google book search can bring you mentions by many good scholars, historians about Kannauj being kingdom. See Imperial Gazetteer of India 1909 clearly calls Kingdom of Kannauj as most powerful kingdom in north India and Rival Hindu Kingdoms and sultan by Harbans Bhatia and many many other good sources too mention about it. Colonel Tod has defined boundaries of Kingdom of Kannauj as can be read here on Indian Antiquary 1874. It was also known as ""Kanyakubja-Bhukti"" which clearly means kingdom as it had different Mandalas like Kalanjara Mandal which is today's Bundelkhand. You can cross check HERE and search on google books. This page do not deserves to be deleted. Desi Katta (talk) 23:00, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kannauj was indeed an imperial kingdom for at least 500 years, from the Maukhari dynasty of Kannauj to the Gahadavala dynasty.^{[citation needed]} So far, I have found no source describing a 'Kingdom of Kannauj' that existed for more than 500 years. The sources you have provided are obsolete and fall under WP:RAJ, except for Bhatia, and they don't even discuss an entity that existed from 510 to 1036 CE. Instead, sources mostly refer to the Ayudha dynasty, Varman dynasty (Kannauj), and Pushyabhuti dynasty as distinct entities rather than grouping them under a single umbrella. Recent sources have nothing to say about such an entity. – Garuda ^Talk! 01:14, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per nomination. Bad day for pseudohistory, the article portrays the Pratihara dynasty as the kingdom of Kannauj, with an apparently falsified map and timeline and then mixes up with a dynasty that existed centuries prior as being the same kingdom.

Dead Sea 1618

AfDs for this article:

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

This was nominated for deletion ten years ago and kept on the grounds that the AFD nomination was too soon, and by a new user. Promises to find sources were not delivered on. The article cites a scan of a newspaper from 1910 but doesn't say what the newspaper was, and "History of Companies in the Ottoman Era" by Muhammad Al-Sharari, a book I can't find a single Google result for. In Arabic the only result is this Wikipedia article.

The sources on the talk page don't seem to check out either, even of the ones I could track down, they're general information about Dead Sea products but don't actually mention this specific company. Searching for any information about this company today all I find is that it seems to no longer be active and it was probably created in 2015, the same year as the Wikipedia article, and was never as big as the Wikipedia article claims. There's very few mentions of this company at all outside of Wikipedia mirrors, and none in reliable sources that I can find. While this article exists on the Arabic Wikipedia, it is an auto-translation of this English article done in October 2024, with no prior mention of the company there, which doesn't instill confidence that it's a real historic company.

I know that sources are going to be hard to find here but it's been ten years and there's nothing, with signs pointing to this article actually being a part of the launch of a 2015 company that didn't make it. In Wikipedia policy terms the lack of sourcing shown to exist mean it doesn't meet WP:CORP. Here2rewrite (talk) 14:33, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. To be fair, with respect to it being created in 2015, the account on that website is not verified, and just because they joined that platform in 2015 is not necessarily a good indicator they were created then, if that is them.

"Commercial Companies in Jordanian Law (A Comparative Study of Company Laws in Iraq - Lebanon - Saudi Arabia - Egypt)

Authored by Aziz Al-Akeili (Authored)

When we study this topic, we must address the importance of commercial companies and the distinction between civil companies and commercial companies and the forms of commercial companies, their historical development, and the rules governing them in Jordan. Finally, we determine the study plan for commercial companies. All of this has been covered in this book with explanation and clarification. Commercial companies are one of the most important phenomena of social life. They have existed in all ages since the beginning of civilization, then they grew and expanded with time and with the development of human needs according to the development of social and economic life. Thus, the book discussed the general provisions of companies and discussed the company of persons, money companies, and companies of a mixed nature."

"Dead Sea Diaries"

So basically #1 and #3 might have some information, #4 seems like a children's book? and #2 I can't translate with Google, so I don't know. I think it's true that we can't access any sources for this company but given we have these book titles and cannot access them I don't think we can confidently say that sources don't exist. I think the only real conclusion here is that we are unable to conclude either way whether there is reliable coverage of this, absent someone finding the books.

BTW a pattern I’ve seen before with inexperienced editors is that when their work is put up for speedy deletion they panic, do a google search and dump a bunch of links onto the talk page claiming “there are sources” but these are just random links in which the words بحر الميت happen to be mentioned and not sources about the company.

Probable failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Soccerway lists him as playing two dozen games in Qatar's first league, though with a different date of birth. This is a bit too weak to assert notability in itself. When trying to find coverage, there is a flurry of coverage about the physical trainer of Zamalek SC, who died in 2024 and may or may not be the same person. I believe that this Qatari footballer would need some strong pieces of coverage to pass our notability bar.

Literally for all the reasons of the last delete.

Theres so much speculation (from the year it happened, to if there was even a battle...) on this page/little information that brings WP:GNG into account because there's very little coverage/accurate information on it. Noorullah (talk) 07:14, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The last AfD had limited participation and was based on an underdeveloped, poorly written article. However, that is not the case now. The nominator's rationale is unclear on how it fails SIGCOV and GNG when the sources have dedicated at least two pages to the event [45][46] (excluding background and aftermath). Garuda ^Talk! 12:04, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Garudam My view is from the significant coverage guideline;

""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." -- While the topic is covered (by the few books cited on the page), the speculation on whether a battle even happened, the years difference is alarming. I think there's just not enough information on the topic. Noorullah (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How are the two pages of coverage considered trivial mentions? Moreover, the speculation is not even about whether the battle occurred or not. All I see are speculations about the dates, which have already been addressed in a separate subsection. This should not be a reason for deletion. Garuda ^Talk! 17:11, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I took a look at the sources for this battle. There are no significant sources for it and it does not seem notable enough to have been covered properly outside of Wikipedia. Of the sources given, only one really covers the "battle", but does not give it a name. The article goes beyond those sources and strays into original or at least uncited research. Given the lack of evidence the battle has received significant attention from independent sources, my view is it is not notable enough for Wikipedia and it should be deleted.

Reinforcing Notability with Specific Achievements

The article on JTA International Investment Holding highlights accomplishments that clearly satisfy WP:CORP. Examples include:

Awards and Recognitions: Dr. Amir Ali Salemi was named Entrepreneur of the Year for Asia in 2021 by Global Banking and Finance Review.

Philanthropy and Sustainability: JTA’s commitment to renewable energy and sustainability projects has been recognized by global organizations and media.

Official Reports: The company's investments in Pakistan’s energy and sports sectors have been cited in verifiable news sources, supporting its significance in these industries.

Additionally, the page has been updated to reflect independent news coverage, avoiding overreliance on press releases and internal announcements. 89.211.212.134 (talk) 10:36, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

JTA International Investment Holding has received recognition from multiple independent and reliable sources, which substantiate its notability under WP:GNG. Examples include:

• Global Presence: The company operates across approximately 50 countries, focusing on equity investments, renewable energy, and infrastructure projects, as outlined on its official Wikipedia page.

• Independent Acknowledgment: Membership in the Al Attiyah Foundation, a leading body for energy and sustainable development, was reported in verified news channels.

• Media Coverage: The company's CEO, Dr. Amir Ali Salemi, has been featured in reputable outlets like Global Banking and Finance Review and received prestigious business awards, confirming third-party acknowledgment of JTA’s impact.

These examples demonstrate that the article is not merely a promotional piece but a record of verifiable achievements.

Founding and Growth: Established in 2010, JTA has expanded to include seven subsidiary companies and a diverse portfolio of global projects.

I can certainly find enough coverage of Indonesian mountains for this to be a stand-alone list but I can't find enough coverage of Indonesian "ribus" to get anywhere close.

Move to a title which reflects "prominence", such as List of mountains of Indonesia by prominence. There will be many very high significant peaks in Indonesia which are not included in this list because you don't need to drop 1,000m between them and the next peak. See the titles in Category:Lists of mountains by prominence: many includes "ultras" in their title, and a "ribu" is the same kind of categorisation, just using 1,000m rather than the "ultra" cutoff of 1,500m. To call this List of mountains of Indonesia would be misleading. Either List of rebus of Indonesia or List of mountains of Indonesia by prominence. There seems to be no one list of Indonesian mountains. I have tweaked the lead of this list to clarify its scope, downplaying the little-known (as yet?) term rebus and clarifying prominence.

I'm not sure what your "they" is. To include all the mountains of Indonesia would be a very different list.

Yes the content will be different, but thats where the notable topic is... It does currently appear to contain the large majority of notable mountains in Indonesia. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:37, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The list is a list of mountains of Indonesia with 1000m prominence (plus a few), whether or not they are referred to as ribus. That is very different from a list of all Indonesian mountains above a certain height: this list is complete, but would be very incomplete if it was a "list of mountains of Indonesia".

Keep, I found several articles in Al Anwar covering Kawas including the fact that he was a cross country champion, not previously in the article. There's more at [49] under his Arabic name I'll have to comb through but I wanted to get this out first. The nominating statement says that SPORTCRIT isn't met, but it's actually fulfilled by the found coverage, which combined with WP:NATH (being a national champion) makes this a candidate to keep based on policy. --Habst (talk) 05:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which "found coverage" is significant? The source for his cross country championship says "Runner Bassam Kawas won the title", which is under no circumstances SIGCOV. It also doesn't say it's the "1992 Lebanese Cross Country Championships", it says "Lebanese Open Cross-Country Championship", and anyway winning a national title in athletics only suggests coverage if the subject has been ranked in the top 60 on the IAAF world leading list at the end of a given calendar year, which I don't see evidence for.

Strong keep, I was able to confirm that Maher Abbas the Olympian and Maher A. Abbas the acclaimed Stanford cardiologist are the same person and added to the IP editor's claim with that. Abbas' work and books have been cited in at least 36 different articles on newspapers.com, some going into detail about his life, see for example "Olive oil full of healthy fats". Iowa City Press-Citizen. 16 Aug 2000. p. 21. Retrieved 2 February 2025. and "Tuscan oil cream of the crop but don't disregard the others Continued from page C1". The Toronto Star. 20 Oct 1993. p. 42. Retrieved 2 February 2025.. The assertion in nominator statement that Abbas doesn't meet SPORTCRIT isn't true because of the provided cite, and GNG is met making the subject-specific notability guidelines moot anyways. --Habst (talk) 04:55, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the links in the article describe him as a "colorectal and gastrointestinal surgeon" with zero mention of being a cardiologist in his experience listing. Is that the same person as the Stanford cardiologist you refer to? Cardiology is a completely different speciality. LibStar (talk) 04:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
this source about Tuscan oil I would not regard as WP:SIGCOV, it's a few lines mentioning Abbas in a larger article and quoting him rather than coverage about him. LibStar (talk) 05:07, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No you have not "confirmed" that the colorectal surgeon and cardiologist are the same person! None of the sources suggest this. The Scopus profile of the surgeon makes no mention of any cardiology work (which would be unheard of for a colorectal surgeon...), and the Anavara page says he only got his MD at Stanford and did his residency and practiced elsewhere, so would never be called a "Stanford" anything. The 1993 article would put him as a practicing cardiologist at 27 years old, which would mean completing medical school at 21 at the latest, all in the midst of training and competing as an Olympic athlete. JoelleJay (talk) 07:18, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since this article has been repeatedly created by sock/meatpuppets, I would recommend salting it as well. Badbluebus (talk) 00:58, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Pirzada appears to be a notable TV host, and his legal troubles go beyond WP:BLP1E. He was arrested in 2015; news coverage of that arrest described him as a "renowned TV anchorperson". A former Indian Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju called him an "eminent Pakistani journalist" while responding to a speech of Pirzada's. His departure from Pakistan seems to have been widely covered. [54] [55] [56]. There are a number of other news stories on Google News about him. And these are just the English language results -- no doubt there is more coverage in Urdu. Jfire (talk) 02:57, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not just the Pakistani government, but also the Pakistani military establishment has targeted him. He remains a prominent journalist in Pakistan, with millions of people relying on his political analytical abilities to foresee what is likely to happen in the near future in Pakistan as well as around the globe. This is evident from his YouTube channel, which garners significant viewership from various countries, not just Pakistan. His page may require some, or even a lot of, improvements, but these improvements can only happen if the page is allowed to exist and remain open for public contributions.

Keep. Moeed Pirzada is a prominent politics investigative journalist from Pakistan and has been in the media industry as senior anchor & columnist for over 16 years. He already had wikipedia page for years on wikipedia but recently the page was deleted after years being on wikipedia, deleted specially after he became a victim of Pakistan Regime 2022 with several other Pakistani journalists. The previous wikipedia page deletion shows how current administration does not want him to be a public figure, I believe even the previous deletion of his page was against freedom of information. He is being targeted by current administration in Pakistan. After being banned from entering Pakistan and banned on mainstream media, he choose to spread his voice using social media and currently have over 3 million people follow him with over 30 million active views. He also conducted interview with former British Prime Minister. QuantumThread (talk) 23:58, 29 January 2025 (UTC)— QuantumThread (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete and salt. There are shenanigans going on with this page (see the creator of Draft:Moeed Pirzada removing the G4 deletion template and copy-paste-moving the draft page's content into this page simultaneously). But even without the shenanigans, this subject does not clear WP:GNG or WP:NBIO for a standalone page. Almost all of these sources are to Pirzada's own writings or to other non-independent sources. The couple of sources that are both independent and reliable are not WP:SIGCOV of Pirzada. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:03, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Highly confusing.

Veronica Mars (character)

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

WP:GNG seems very weak. Reception is limited to few listicles and short commentary on the performance of the actor portraying her (that could be merged to Kristen Bell). WP:ATD-R suggests we can redirect this to the TV show instead of hard deletion if we agree she is not notable.

Keep The GNG has been adequately met for over a decade, the nominator's opinion notwithstanding. Yes, coverage of the actress playing her, in the context of playing her, counts. Bell liked the character sufficiently well she came back twice after the three season run had ended, and was a key part of the movie promotion. Sure, there's a bit of extra plot summary here, but merger to the show is not the correct target as List of Veronica Mars characters exists, something the nom should normally have picked up on in preparation for this nomination.

Forrest Gump (character)

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

This is a pure plot summary, mostly unreferenced, with an OR section on "differences from the novel" (presumably referring to the film version...). Only relation to the real world is the brief information about the actor who portrayed him (and won Oscar for that). My BEFORE doesn't show much - there may be some SIGCOV in Indonesian undergraduate (see id:Skripsi) student papers that GScholar throws at me, but per WP:THESIS and common practice (in my experience), we generally are ok with PhD level thesis, consider master-level stuff borderline, and don't see undergraduate papers are either particularly notable or sufficient to establish notability. Then there's a conference paper that does not want to open for me [57] and possibly some Japanese(?) paper [58] that's not online? In the end, my conclusion is that this might be notable, but the current execution is WP:ALLPLOT and needs WP:TNT (or at least, split summary should be greatly reduced, and scholarly analysis and reception which do not exist would need to be written, and I do not see sources to do it myself or tell others they could use them, unfortunately, per my analysis of GScholar results above. GBooks gave me nothing, and Google gives stuff that does not appear to be reliable and seem to be more like movie summaries for lazy students...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:31, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Toys 3D

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

Rationale: Non-notable per WP:GNG for a shareware re-release of a game that lacks an article. I think it seems to be shareware that does pop up in odd sources and cover discs, but lacks substantial coverage and review content to justify an article about it.

Source analysis: Relies mostly on primary sources [59], user-generated blogs [60] or game databases [61][62][63]. A PC Gamer article ([64]) seems promising, but the content reveals the writer has not played the game, relying on the site's description to describe it, and is expressing bemusement at the archaic method of distribution of its rerelease. Best coverage seems to be in a Czech magazine website of unknown reliability [65].

Other searches: Trivial mention on Games Industry as part of a publisher background [66]. Internet Archive search found one catalogue listing describing the game ([67]) and one Russian review ([68]) although the latter doesn't really describe or express much of an opinion of the game other than calling it a funny parody of Wolfenstein.

Redirect (if possible?) to Phaenarete, which already mentions him. No need to merge, as there is no useful information here, and one of the sources is not reliable (geni_family_tree), and the other only has a sentence saying that Socrates had a half-brother Patrocles. The disambig page Patrocles could say "Patrocles, son of Phaenarete and half-brother of the philosopher Socrates". (If any other editors are aware of more information and sources about this Patrocles that could be added to improve this article, I'd be happy to reconsider.) RebeccaGreen (talk) 01:21, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Many decent 21st century sources (e.g. Miller's and Platter's Plato's Apology of Socrates: A Commentary (UOP, 2012, ISBN 9780806186054)), as opposed to the family tree WWW site that is used in the article, point to Nails 2002, pp. 218–219, Patrocles of Alopece, son of Chaeredemus harvnb error: no target: CITEREFNails2002 (help) as a good recent authority. It has the original Greek name, the citations to classical sources (including Euthydemus), and a lengthy discussion of Patrocles's possible career on the Board of Ten archons (that followed the fall of the Thirty Tyrants) after age 30.

Uncle G, I'd be happy to reconsider, but I have no access to Nails' book myself (Google Books preview does not show those pages, nor the Works cited and consulted (which might provide other sources too)). Other sources I have found have at most a sentence or two about Patrocles, though admittedly more than is in this article. Xenophon: Ethical Principles and Historical Enquiry p286-287 says "Socrates' half-brother Patrocles was King Archon of the board of ten oligarchs who replaced the Thirty after their downfall"; Socrates in Love p 170 says Patrocles "may have had political ambitions; he is named as holding an official position in the Athenian treasury in the late fifth century". The Bloomsbury Companion to Socrates names Patrocles as one of seven who fled into exile as a result of the scandals and failed oligarchic coup of 415. That does sound like he was notable. I do not feel competent to add that info to the article, though! RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:40, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above, unless additional detail sufficient to prove notability is forthcoming: the best way to prove that would be to add some substantial, reliably cited mentions. If you do this, feel free to ping me to reconsider my !vote. Brief and passing mentions (even in good sources, as those discussed above seem to be) are not in themselves sufficient to do this.
