February 2025
[edit]- Dvorak (game): nominated at AfD; notified DX (talk · contribs) 07:51, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Unable to find sources that demonstrate notability. The best I could find are an assignment for a university course and a self-published zine, although it is possible that there are some offline sources I'm missing.
- American Pet Products Association: nominated at AfD; notified AmericanPet (talk · contribs) 21:23, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- Instlux: nominated at AfD; notified Dreamsmith (talk · contribs) 03:20, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:NSOFT. The only reasonable source I could find has just a brief paragraph that was written when the program was still in development, so it isn't really significant coverage.
- Better Photography: nominated at AfD; notified Gpkp (talk · contribs) 02:52, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of notability; only significant coverage is press releases/churnalism. "It has won annual awards" is false; it presented the awards that are mentioned. This can be redirected to Network18 Group#Digital and publishing divisions, but there isn't really anything to merge. Found this article from this comment.
- InoERP: nominated at AfD; notified Endy.sng (talk · contribs) 21:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, best source available is a master's thesis which is unreliable per WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Recreated in 2015 after being deleted through PROD.
- Triskell: nominated at AfD; notified IgnacioCar (talk · contribs) 06:53, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT and WP:GNG. The only citation likely refers to this directory entry or something similar. dePRODed in 2016 with the edit summary
I edited links and references. I do not see the point to say that it is an unremarkable software. It is used by companies such as Orange, La Banque Postale, Agbar, ect.
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT and WP:GNG. The only citation likely refers to this directory entry or something similar. dePRODed in 2016 with the edit summary
- Plandora: nominated at AfD; notified Alberto.pereto (talk · contribs) 01:29, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT; no independent, significant coverage could be found. This article was originally about a project management application, but it appears to have been Special:Diff/1268124326 recently hijacked by a different software application also named "Plandora", Neither application meets WP:NSOFT so it should just be deleted. dePRODed in 2011 by the article's creator.
- Comparison of embroidery software: nominated at AfD; notified Red team316 (talk · contribs) 22:31, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NLIST; a spam magnet that compares non-notable entries. This source is the only reliable one I could find that provides a software comparison, and none of the software being compared seems to be notable. Machine embroidery already provides a general overview of embroidery software. dePRODed in 2022 with the edit summary
This is a fantastic resource for people interested in seeing all embroidery software solutions in a simple chart
. (I have PRODed the only entry with an article, Embroidermodder, due to lack of notability.)

- Rodovid: nominated at AfD; notified Sj (talk · contribs) 03:44, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:WEB. The previous deletion nomination essentially ignored notability guidelines, citing its number of records and users at the time to justify a keep. The only significant coverage I could find, a single paragraph in this book, states that "most of the pages only have sketchy content" and "very few articles contain much in the way of sources". (The google doc is inaccessible, but it was written by the founder of WeRelate, who apparently talked to Rodovid (scroll to "Genealogy: WeRelate, Rodovid, WM"), so this is not an independent source.)
- HuMo-gen: nominated at AfD; notified DrMaleki (talk · contribs) 06:50, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: The best coverage I could find is four sentences in this paper. Even this source has dubious reliability: it cites two research articles in this sub-paragraph ([4], [5]), but neither of them mention HuMo-gen.
- Pieter Nel: nominated at AfD; notified Sarahjohnson2840 (talk · contribs) 19:59, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: I have procedurally removed this article's PROD as the article creator contested it on the talk page. The rationale from @WhoAteMyButter: was
Fails WP:N. Most sources are PR or self-published (not reliable) and a slim few only have a passing mention. Does not establish notability and/or verify the majority of statements made.
I agree with this rationale after reviewing the sources.

- Dessert Hot Sauce: nominated at AfD; notified TJGuiton (talk · contribs) 19:38, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: AI-generated article with fake sources; obviously created to promote Toad Sweat which was also created by the same editor and is now up for deletion. Could plausibly be G11'd but I brought it here just in case.
- M Sharp: nominated at AfD; notified Shayanelhami (talk · contribs) 21:56, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT; no indication that this language received any attention from businesses or researchers. The Business Standard source in the article is PR, and the other nominally independent source isn't about M#. A general search didn't find any coverage. Unrelated to a language from Microsoft's Midori project, codenamed M#. Deproded with edit summary "has notable sources".
March 2025
[edit]- Erroneous program: nominated at AfD; notified Macrakis (talk · contribs) 21:16, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a synonym of Undefined behavior that only Ada uses. Can be deleted or redirected.
- Polit (operating system): nominated at AfD; notified Appsoft4 (talk · contribs) 00:15, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT. The creator's website presumably contains almost all the coverage this OS has received. This coverage consists of an article written by the creator, a magazine interview with the creator, and a TV interview with the creator (practically inaccessible). None of this contributes to notability. I didn't find anything else when trying to search Ukrainian sources.
- Open Source Software CD: nominated at AfD; notified Guaka (talk · contribs) 08:17, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT: I could not find much coverage other than trivial mentions. The best coverage is a tiny 1-2 paragraphs on page 21 of this source. According to GScholar, this paywalled source also mentions it but I don't have reason to believe it's SIGCOV.
- VkTrace: nominated at AfD; notified ScotXW (talk · contribs) 02:58, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Nominating at AfD after this article was deproded. Fails WP:NSOFT; only coverage beyond a trivial mention is this piece and even that isn't SIGCOV. Not worth mentioning in LunarG or Vulkan (API).
- JuffEd: nominated at AfD; notified Mezomish (talk · contribs) 05:28, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT. Can't find any reliable, significant coverage beyond this Softpedia review. Softpedia reviews practically everything, and this review mostly just lists features rather than being in-depth. I didn't PROD it because some editors asserted notability on the talk page in 2008.
- InterWorx: nominated at AfD; notified Qwidjib0 (talk · contribs) 21:29, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Category:Wikipedia:Blocking policy: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Akrynim (talk · contribs) 01:25, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: This category's purpose appears to be a duplicate of Category:Wikipedia blocking. It only contains an essay that is also in Category:Wikipedia blocking.
- SchemingMind: nominated at AfD; notified Mekkk (talk · contribs) 22:38, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable organization and web server; fails WP:NORG. Most sources in the article only contain trivial mentions, and the ones that don't ([6], [7]) aren't great. One is written by the US Chess correspondence chess director, with dubious independence and reliability, and the other is a blog post. I couldn't find any other non-trivial coverage. deproded in 2008.
- Guiffy SureMerge: nominated at AfD; notified Thomast15 (talk · contribs) 06:37, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Beaver Group: nominated at AfD; notified Legion722 (talk · contribs) 23:19, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. I can't access aka.tv, but the other sources only contain routine corporate announcements. aka.tv is a trade publication and is unlikely to contain non-routine coverage per WP:TRADES. Winning some obscure industry awards does not count towards WP:NCORP. I was unable to find any non-routine coverage. Deproded in 2019.
April 2025
[edit]- Designbox: nominated at AfD; notified Joegra (talk · contribs) 07:50, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Meme IDE: nominated at AfD; notified Joememe (talk · contribs) 17:41, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Top PHP Studio: nominated at AfD; notified Uykusuz (talk · contribs) 18:13, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT; can't find any coverage besides a master's thesis, which is unreliable per WP:SCHOLARSHIP. The "review" in the article is not actually a review since it just briefly describes the software with no independent analysis. Not to be confused with PHP Studio by Neometric Software (the developer of this IDE is Cayoren Software)
- Open iT: nominated at AfD; notified Brinella (talk · contribs) 01:06, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. The Computerworld article only contains a brief mention that some other company used Open iT's products, and the other two sources were authored by a company employee. Can't find anything else besides trivial mentions and another article published by a senior employee. The generic name makes it hard to search, though. Deproded in 2006.
- Robert Corich: nominated at AfD; notified Pavelds (talk · contribs) 22:26, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:NCREATIVE. Simply having remastering credits with no significant, independent coverage of the subject satisfies neither criteria. His own books and his own interview as a critic are not independent sources (and presumably don't cover himself, either). DePRODed by request.
- 1 Republican vs. 25 Kamala Harris Voters: nominated at AfD; notified Jessica3801 (talk · contribs) 22:39, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NEVENT as a viral phenomenon with no WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Most of the coverage is just sensationalist reactions in biased sources immediately after the video was released, and the only one of these sources that is generally reliable is PinkNews. There are some passing mentions in "serious" pieces in Variety and The Atlantic, but not significant coverage. Can be redirected to Surrounded (web series)#Episodes.
- Nasal Valve Collapse: nominated at AfD; notified Sarmccord (talk · contribs) 22:41, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Machine-generated article with mostly fake citations that seemingly only exists to promote "NYC Face Docs", which is referenced in just about all the articles the creator has made. (The creator also made Moustafa Mourad, who is the head of this organization.) I am nominating the following articles by the same editor, for the same reason::Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views):External nasal valve collapse (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Moustafa Mourad: nominated at AfD 18:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NACADEMIC and WP:ANYBIO. None of his memberships are to "highly selective and prestigious" associations. (He is a fellowship director in the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, but this is not covered in NACADEMIC#3, and the selectivity of this position is unclear.) The only coverage in independent sources is him being quoted or interviewed. Created by a blocked COI editor.
- Donald Duck (nickname): nominated at AfD; notified Kaynsu1 (talk · contribs) 01:40, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG; little to no significant coverage. The Independent piece is the only one that contains any discussion about the nickname more substantial than "someone called Trump 'Donald Duck'". Even that discussion is limited to random online reactions, and is more about Christie than the nickname itself. The Politico piece shares Trump's reaction but contains even less coverage than the Indepdendent. I couldn't find better sources.
May 2025
[edit]- Scannata: nominated at AfD; notified WikiWriterMusic (talk · contribs) 21:13, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced, WP:NOTDICT, etc. This was originally obfuscated spam for a record company but the creator removed the spammy part after I applied G11.
- Wikipedia:Transliteration integrity: nominated at MfD; notified NickySuper9 (talk · contribs) 02:10, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: AI-generated essay with only tenuous connections to Wikipedia policies (the bit about redirects in other languages).
June 2025
[edit]- Projax: nominated at AfD; notified Ngcoders (talk · contribs) 02:50, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSOFT; zero independent coverage exists. DePRODed in 2022 because the PRODer "failed to notify author", which is not a hard requirement (and the dePRODer could have just as easily notified the author themselves) Interestingly, this page was created by User:Ngcoders and links to the website ngcoders.com.
- Rockland County recount: nominated at AfD; notified Heroeswithmetaphors (talk · contribs) 22:43, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: This article is based on misinformation that's trending on social media; it relies on a bunch of sketchy sources published in the past few days that uncritically repeat false claims of election fraud. (The "zero votes" thing is a result of Orthodox Jewish bloc voting. [11]) I could find one okay source, which is Snopes debunking the claims [12], but one source is not enough to justify an article, especially since Snopes devotes a lot of coverage to ongoing viral claims that have no enduring notability. It might be possible to keep the article if more good sources emerge that properly characterize the lawsuit and/or the social media trend, but it would still need WP:TNT.
- List of regional news websites of Jharkhand: nominated at AfD; notified Ranjeetsharmajournalist (talk · contribs) 04:14, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftification. Fails WP:NLIST and WP:LISTPURP; only one of the list entries, Prabhat Khabar, is a notable news website specifically based in Jharkhand. The article creator also made The Real Khabar which is up for deletion.
- Devendra Nath Mahto: nominated at AfD; notified Ranjeetsharmajournalist (talk · contribs) 04:46, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
- FusionReactor: nominated at AfD; notified Hasenstr (talk · contribs) 21:04, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: From my contested PROD: Fails WP:NSOFT: after searching GBooks, GScholar, and even the "ColdFusion Developer's Journal" on Internet Archive, there is just no independent coverage of this application beyond trivial mentions. None of the current sources in the article are reliable and independent. I recently reverted edits made by a COI editor, which didn't contain any good sources either.
July 2025
[edit]- Jhoneil Centeno: nominated at AfD; notified Jhoneil (talk · contribs) 23:41, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NBASIC and WP:NARTIST, none of the current sources are reliable and independent and contain significant coverage of Centeno or his work. The other sources I could find, including those mentioned in the article, don't contain significant coverage either: they just display his art and note that he's the artist. Appears to be an autobiography given that the creator is User:Jhoneil.
- Wikipedia:Wikipod: nominated at MfD; notified Artem's pages (talk · contribs) 17:30, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Unrelated to Wikipedia policies.
- Machine learning in Brazilian industry: nominated at AfD; notified RS Tgn (talk · contribs) 22:33, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: This essay-like article, the result of a student assignment, really needs WP:TNT. Most of the sources are either: (a) not about machine learning/AI, (b) not about Brazilian industry, (c) WP:Primary government documents, e.g. "Plano IA para o Bem de Todos". Draftification was contested. Possibly AI-generated as well. One of the few relevant secondary sources, On the Brazilian Observatory for Artificial Intelligence, is non-independent since the authors are part of organizations that partner with the observatory.
- Helios (company): nominated at AfD; notified PeaceKorkov (talk · contribs) 01:54, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. Source 1 barely mentions the company. Sources 2, 3 and 5 are very similar; 3 and 5 appear to be unbylined press releases and 2 is churnalism of the same press release. Source 4 is non-independent as practically all information comes from the mouth of cofounder Alexander Aronson. Sources 6 and 7 don't load (probably a result of using ChatGPT). I can't find any non-routine coverage of the company.
- Library Oriented Architecture: nominated at AfD; notified Mtriana (talk · contribs) 07:34, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, no significant coverage of this concept outside the personal blog of one Michel Triana. I found that his blog post is referenced in a bachelor's thesis [13] (fails WP:SCHOLARSHIP and is not sigcov anyways).
- Inedo: nominated at AfD; notified Kharnagy (talk · contribs) 04:20, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not finding any coverage that meets WP:NCORP, the most I'm seeing just says they offer ProGet. Also this source which is mostly quotes from the CEO. Article creator has a COI. I'm also investigating the notability of some of their products like Otter (software) and BuildMaster.
- BuildMaster: nominated at AfD; notified Kharnagy (talk · contribs) 05:22, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Nothing has changed since the last AFD, this is a non-notable software product. No independent SIGCOV to be found. Article creator has a COI.
- MIBE architecture: nominated at AfD; notified Wikiworldvolunteer (talk · contribs) 18:22, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: From my declined PROD: This concept does not exist beyond WP:MADEUP; I could not find the publication by Fabio La Daga (who only received the equivalent of an undergrad degree) where the concept is supposedly introduced. I don't think it's a hoax, it's more likely that this was a bachelor's thesis or something. The only coverage I could find is from unreliable self-published books [14] that appear to copy from Wikipedia. PROD was removed with comment "not an uncontroversial proposal" without any explanation for why this is controversial.
- Flash MP3 Player: nominated at AfD; notified Andrey Markin (talk · contribs) 21:41, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: There are many Flash MP3 players. This particular one fails WP:GNG, there is no indication that it is notable, and no coverage at all in independent reliable sources. Sourced only to its own website. Deproded in 2019.
August 2025
[edit]- RATF: nominated at AfD; notified Calaas (talk · contribs) 07:38, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: From my declined PROD: Zero usage outside of the person who coined the term (Göran Calås in [15]), who also seems to be the person who created this article. There's one sentence in [16] but that's about it for independent coverage. This was deproded by User:Sangjiinhwa with a suggestion to merge with Rational Unified Process, but a merge is not appropriate: RATF is not mentioned in that article and we would need much better independent sourcing to support such a mention.
- Gate City Bank: nominated at AfD; notified Drabbuh (talk · contribs) 17:57, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. The only independent source referenced here is routine business coverage about a new CEO. Almost all independent, non-routine coverage I could find is about various lawsuits against the bank, which should be discounted per WP:ILLCON. I found one non-lawsuit source related to overdraft fees (Over two pages: [17], [18]), which mostly consists of the CEO defending the bank's practices; this is not enough to establish notability.
- Middleware analyst: nominated at AfD; notified John at Lancelotlinc (talk · contribs) 02:41, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG. This should be an article about a type of job, but the only coverage consists of job postings and coverage about middleware itself. Most of the article is poorly sourced job tips.
- H.G. Heim Company: nominated at AfD; notified Dannnii0722 (talk · contribs) 06:40, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: I am nominating these articles by User:Dannnii0722 because they are sneaky spam for the company SYZ Rod Ends, and likely AI-generated. All of these articles cite this company's blog. I am not sure whether G11 applies here.
- Geoff Collyer: nominated at AfD; notified 63.192.14.230 (talk · contribs) 04:49, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Vindicia: nominated at AfD; notified Qrivas (talk · contribs) 21:49, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of notability under WP:NCORP, coverage consists of press releases and routine fundraising/acquisition announcements. I note that this article was speedy deleted twice before, and one of the previous creators was blocked for UPE.
- HFSLIP: nominated at AfD; notified Glaurung quena (talk · contribs) 01:48, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, no reliable independent sources could be found except for a brief description on Softpedia, whose directory contains practically every piece of software. This article was previously a redirect, merged in 2012 with Software remastering. I have restored the article and undone the merge; the article should have been completely deleted instead of merged because it is WP:UNDUE to mention specific software in a much more general article without strong reliable independent sources (at which point it would be independently notable anyways).
- Anna Papalia: nominated at AfD; notified Sakinoktor (talk · contribs) 06:49, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't meet WP:NBIO or WP:NAUTHOR. Most of these sources are non-independent as they are either almost completely written by her ([20], [21], [22]), merely repeat her interview tips while adding vapid TikTok comments ([23], [24]), or repeat what she wants to say about her own book ([25], [26]). These sources do not contain serious independent analysis of her work, nor do they contain non-trivial biographical information. UPE concerns have been raised at another article created by the same editor (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tulip Interfaces).
September 2025
[edit]- Stop Zionist Hate: nominated at AfD; notified Sabletiger55 (talk · contribs) 06:22, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Context: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Sabletiger55 gaming extended confirmed to step into contentious topicsFails WP:GNG/WP:NORG. I'm not seeing any clearly reliable sources with significant coverage, let alone any sources that could have due weight for such a controversial topic. See WP:PRESSTV, InfluenceWatch discussion, WP:ADLIPA. I doubt Canary Mission is usable. The Lebanon source refers to this article which seems heavily opinionated (I used machine translation). Reuters does not contain SIGCOV. The MSNBC source is an opinion piece. Jewish News Syndicate is the only source that might possibly be usable, and even that source is openly biased; their piece mainly repeats Canary Mission.
- Form 2290: nominated at AfD; notified Syencha (talk · contribs) 08:09, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- ZPE Programming Environment: nominated at AfD; notified Jamiebalfour04 (talk · contribs) 23:23, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
October 2025
[edit]- Characteristic based product configurator: nominated at AfD; notified Dalmax79 (talk · contribs) 02:12, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG; completely unsourced and I could not find any sources that describe this concept in a WP:BEFORE search. This article about a subclass of product configurator appears to be original research. This article should not be redirected or merged to product configurator because it is not a plausible search term, and there is no useful sourced content to merge. DePRODed in 2011.
- The Christmas Collection(Amy Grant album): nominated at RfD; Target: The Christmas Collection (Amy Grant album) 20:33, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- Largest(s) City-Metro populations of the Pacific Northwest: nominated at RfD; Target: Pacific Northwest 01:36, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Bizarre title. Why would anyone type in "Largest(s)"?
- Aleph(CERN): nominated at RfD; Target: Large Electron–Positron Collider 20:51, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Almost WP:X3-eligible but somehow survived a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Aleph(CERN), and X3 was contested for that reason.
- Early European Religion(s): nominated at RfD; Target: Prehistoric religion 21:09, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: It's implausible that someone would type in a parenthetical (s). Early European Religion already exists as a redirect.
- Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia (1899)-(1918): nominated at RfD; Target: Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia 23:04, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
- Gannavaram(SC) (Assembly constituency): nominated at RfD; Target: Gannavaram, Konaseema Assembly constituency 04:28, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
- War in Afghanistan(2001-present): nominated at RfD; Target: War in Afghanistan (2001–2021) 23:40, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
- Ilona Budapesti: nominated at AfD; notified Karenlouiseb (talk · contribs) 04:56, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. We usually expect SIGCOV in multiple reliable independent sources to demonstrate notability, but the only potentially independent source with significant coverage is this piece on a charity website, which might not even be a WP:RS. I couldn't find better sources in a WP:BEFORE search.
- Proggy programming fonts: nominated at AfD; notified IEEE, IEEE (talk · contribs) 05:35, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG. The article's current sources do not contain significant coverage. (The Coding Horror piece only contains a few sentences, not really significant coverage.) In a WP:BEFORE search, I could not find any more coverage other than self-published blogs, which are not reliable sources.
- West Coast Aviation Services: nominated at AfD; notified Zuluutime (talk · contribs) 01:00, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- List of embedded analytics tools: nominated at AfD; notified Rjsage (talk · contribs) 04:16, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NLIST, there are no reliable sources that compare or discuss different embedded analytics tools. I could only find unreliable corporate blogs. Every entry under "Purpose-built embedded analytics tools" is non-notable.
- Vietnam Chamber of Commerce in Singapore: nominated at AfD; notified Jinhma (talk · contribs) 05:06, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- The Footprint: nominated at AfD; notified 102.90.80.161 (talk · contribs) 19:25, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- 12Go: nominated at AfD; notified OmicronLib (talk · contribs) 07:23, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. Going through the sources: source 1 is a press release, source 2 is an obvious promo piece (just look at the author's other pieces), source 3 is a directory entry, source 4 and source 5/9 are routine coverage, source 6 leads to an error page and would be routine coverage anyways, source 7 is a press release, source 8 is another PR piece, source 10 is a "contributor" piece, not staff-written, and source 11 is the company itself. No better sources found in a WP:BEFORE search.
- Cast AI: nominated at AfD; notified Baurgentherz (talk · contribs) 20:32, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. To satisfy the WP:NCORP notability guideline, a company needs to have multiple reliable sources that provide in-depth coverage of the company, and these sources should not just regurgitate press releases, company announcements (including product announcements), executive interviews, or whatever else the company has to say about itself. Sources should also be checked to ensure they are not sponsored news disguised as legitimate coverage.With the above in mind, the only clearly independent source with non-trivial coverage is the PCMAG piece which contains only one paragraph of coverage, not enough to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. Every other source with non-trivial coverage is either disguised sponsored news, press releases, or churnalism that repeats company announcements. A WP:BEFORE search did not uncover better sources.

- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. To satisfy WP:NCORP, a company needs in-depth coverage in multiple sources that is not entirely based on press releases, company announcements, or executive interviews. There are zero sources here with in-depth coverage; all of them are routine coverage and/or churnalism of fundraising, investments, acquisitions, and product launches. A WP:BEFORE search did not find better sources. As an WP:ATD, this can potentially be selectively merged to co-founder Alex Waislitz.

[edit]- Cagoga: nominated at AfD; notified Editor7mil (talk · contribs) 23:09, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG. This card game has two supposedly independent sources ([38], [39]) but the two sources have oddly similar content and are both promotional, indicating that one or both are churnalism. I wouldn't be surprised if both sources were run through an AI paraphraser. Here is a comparison of one paragraph from each source:Ourculturemag:
Importantly, Cagoga does not attempt to offer cure or closure. Instead, it offers recognition. It makes space for empathy and shared experience. It reminds players that healing is nonlinear, unpredictable, and often frustrating—but also that recovery can be approached with community, creativity, and even fun.
Made in Shoreditch:Ultimately, Cagoga does not claim to cure or resolve the complexities of concussion. Instead, it creates space for recognition and empathy. By weaving together bright art, strategic mechanics, and moments of humour, the game captures the paradox of recovery: nonlinear, frustrating, yet also filled with possibility.

The mention in "Best Workplaces 2025" fails WP:ORGTRIV. Every other source in the article relies almost entirely on company announcements and interviews with executives, failing WP:ORGIND. I couldn't find any better sources.
- Cube (software company): nominated at AfD; notified Soimuldacic (talk · contribs) 19:22, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP, there are no sources with in-depth independent analysis of the company. To satisfy WP:NCORP, a company needs to have multiple reliable sources that provide in-depth coverage of the company, and these sources should not just regurgitate press releases, company announcements (including product announcements), executive interviews, or whatever else the company has to say about itself. At best, there are two TechCrunch pieces with a tiny amount of independent analysis. Refer to the below source analysis, which includes the article's current sources plus one other source I found. It does not include masters' theses, which are considered unreliable per WP:SCHOLARSHIP.

[edit]- The McDonaldization of OSH: nominated at AfD; notified Davidmagee9 (talk · contribs) 10:27, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, this concept was WP:MADEUP by the page author (
The term McDonaldization of OSH was first used by educator and OSH researcher Dave Magee in a 2025 article on LinkedIn
) and none of the independent sources discuss "McDonaldization of OSH". Probably AI-assisted/AI-generated too, especially given the creator's clearly AI-generated comments at Talk:Occupational safety and health literacy.

- Kellie Everts White House Fatima Speech (1978): nominated at AfD; notified Ajax151 (talk · contribs) 03:10, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NEVENT, creator moved to mainspace after the draft was rejected multiple times, first for being fringe and second for being non-notable. See Draft:1978 Kellie Everts White House Fatima Speech for the first time it was rejected.
- XBase++: nominated at AfD; notified 200.122.82.51 (talk · contribs) 21:49, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Proprietary language that fails WP:NPROD; not much significant coverage found except for routine product announcements (e.g. [40]) presumably proclaiming that it would replace Clipper. The most coverage I found was this very brief description. Deproded in 2022.
- Softstack: nominated at AfD; notified Avalotto (talk · contribs) 23:02, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. The paywalled news source might count towards NCORP but the others do not; multiple such sources are needed for an article to satisfy WP:NCORP. A WP:BEFORE search did not turn up additional sources.

[edit]- Onside.io: nominated at AfD 18:49, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP, all sources are either PR pieces or do not contain significant coverage of the company. Creator blocked for UPE.
- MOASS: nominated at AfD; notified FuzzyMagma (talk · contribs) 01:27, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: AI-generated article that should be redirected to GameStop short squeeze#Speculation on a second short squeeze ("MOASS"). The first source is unreliable, and the academic sources I spotchecked do not even mention the term MOASS or "Mother of All Short Squeezes", suggesting that this article was AI-generated, along with other WP:AISIGNS such as
The event highlighted vulnerabilities in the financial system...
. There do exist sources that discuss "MOASS" but I couldn't find sigcov outside the GameStop event. This article should not be merged since it is AI-generated.

- Jai (programming language): nominated at AfD; notified NaTaHu (talk · contribs) 11:15, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable programming language that is not publicly available. The Bitshifters and smarimccarthy.is sources are self-published personal blogs. (Smári McCarthy has unclear independence as a closed-beta developer and doesn't satisfy WP:EXPERTSPS because heis notable mainly for his activism, not his opinions on language design.) The other sources are mostly its inventor discussing his own language. I can't find any academic research that discusses this language in detail besides a bachelor's thesis, which is unreliable per WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Should be redirected to Jonathan Blow#2017–present: Jai programming language, Order of the Sinking Star, and Braid, Anniversary Edition, but this redirect has been contested multiple times.
- Odin (programming language): nominated at AfD; notified Hmc1282171021 (talk · contribs) 20:53, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable programming language that has received no in-depth coverage from reliable sources. The article's current sources consist of the developer's personal sites, random blogs that happen to use the language, and a self-published e-book. Coverage in academic research consists of trivial mentions.
- Arthur Katalayi: nominated at AfD; notified Njlo04 (talk · contribs) 23:44, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NBIO; no significant coverage outside his alma mater's school newspaper. Brief quotes are not significant coverage. This article was recently disrupted by SPAs, so there might be disruption in this AFD.
- Guppy (programming language): nominated at AfD; notified CBathka (talk · contribs) 22:36, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Nominating here after article was dePRODed by its creator:No indication of notability; sourced entirely to press releases and churnalism; sources such as WSJ and Ars only briefly mention the language instead of having significant coverage. There does not seem to be any published research that is independent of Quantinuum; in the only published non-preprint paper I could find [42], the lead author turned out to be an intern at Quantinuum [43]

[edit]- "I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working": nominated at AfD; notified Red Slash (talk · contribs) 20:51, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NEVENT as a minor incident from the Artemis II mission that was quickly resolved without any indication of broader significance; this quote at most warrants a mention at Reid Wiseman.
- AEON School: nominated at AfD; notified YaelBF (talk · contribs) 02:15, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: As a for-profit private school, this fails WP:NCORP. The non-PR news articles are about different physical schools, not AEON. The other sources consist of partnership announcements and a directory entry. I suggest a selective merge to Avenues: The World School.
- AlphaChip (controversy): nominated at AfD; notified ~2026-54236-5 (talk · contribs) 02:57, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: The original draft of this article, originally created by a TA, is blatantly AI-generated in violation of WP:NEWLLM, filled with vapid AI cliches. If there is to be an article about this, it needs to be rewritten from scratch without the use of AI. Telltale quotes from the original draft include:*
Coverage in major media outlets and technical publications reported on criticisms, as well as on responses from the authors and editorial actions taken by Nature. In Communications of the ACM, Goth, Halper, and other commentators linked the dispute to broader concerns about reproducibility, selective reporting, and reliance on proprietary data and large-scale computational resources.
*Commentators continue to highlight unresolved challenges in reproducing the reported outcomes due to incomplete methodological disclosure, questionable techniques and evaluation methodologies, as well as reliance on proprietary inputs.
*Coverage in Communications of the ACM noted that scientific controversies are normally resolved through independent replication of published results, peer-reviewed critique, and independent scrutiny rather than internal processes or corporate communications.
There are also some inaccurate quotations in the original draft, specifically "diverse TPU designs" and "previous netlist versions" being sourced to [44] which uses slightly different wording.

[edit]- SIINKO: nominated at AfD; notified ~2026-26289-05 (talk · contribs) 01:55, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP, the sources with significant coverage of SIINKO appear to be promo pieces. Note that two of the sources [45], [46] brag about how the company has signed six different artists, and were published back-to-back less than two days before a TA created this draft on April 29th, possibly indicating a PR campaign that includes the creation of this Wikipedia article. See WP:NEWSORGNIGERIA.

- Kali Prasad Choudhuri: nominated at AfD; notified Gargivishnoi (talk · contribs) 22:26, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: I propose redirecting to 24 Indian pilots#List of pilots because it is unclear whether there is significant coverage of this person, who was killed relatively early in WWII. Source 3 mentions him in a list, source 4 is a directory entry, source 5 is a silent film of several pilots. I couldn't access sources 1 and 2 but it is not clear if they contain significant coverage of him, especially the news piece "Air Minister welcomes Indian pilots" which probably covers the entire group of 24 pilots. It is plausible that an LLM saw these offline sources being used in the article 24 Indian pilots and reused them for this article with the same page numbers without being able to access them. (LLM usage was very likely involved in this article's creation given that this diff corrected the CWGC Commemorative Page/Record external link that pointed to the wrong person, as well as the obviously LLM-generated response here.)
- Atomic Mail: nominated at AfD; notified Armenonair (talk · contribs) 03:56, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NPROD; also reads as LLM-generated. There is a review on research.com, but this doesn't appear to be a reliable source. The site's articles/posts are all authored by the co-founder and so it is essentially a self-published source, hence unreliable. Other sources consist of press releases, user-generated review aggregators, and the company's own materials. A WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing better. Not to be confused with "Atomic Mail Sender" or other services with similar names. Feel free to speedy it per WP:G15 if anyone thinks it qualifies.
- LawZero: nominated at AfD; notified LionmerterTHE (talk · contribs) 01:49, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested BLAR to Yoshua Bengio#Career and research, where this should be more appropriately covered. Fails WP:NORG: To satisfy the WP:NORG notability guideline, an organization needs to have multiple reliable sources that provide in-depth coverage of the organization, and these sources should not just regurgitate press releases, organization announcements, executive interviews, or whatever else the organization has to say about itself. Most of the independent sources merely report on Bengio's launch of LawZero in 2025, mainly regurgitating Bengio's own thoughts about the company without independent analysis. There are some later sources with fundraising news from various other organizations ([47], [48]), but they also mainly just repeat the organizations' announcements and quotes from executives instead of independent analysis.Separately, the article appears to be LLM-assisted in violation of WP:NEWLLM (e.g.
Federal AI minister Evan Solomon described the amount as "substantial" and framed the commitment as part of a broader Canadian regulatory, legislative and technical strategy for fostering trust in AI.
). However, scrubbing the LLM usage will not solve the notability problem.

- James Howells: nominated at AfD; notified Tumbuka Arch (talk · contribs) 04:46, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: I propose redirecting to Bitcoin buried in Newport landfill (a good article) because this is a straightforward case of WP:ONEEVENT. BLAR contested with edit summary "Not about lost drive anymore but continuous coverage". All coverage of Howells is about the lost drive; even his company "Ceiniog Coin" is directly connected to the drive (see [49]).

[edit]- Gonzalo Duran: nominated at AfD; notified DRLily01 (talk · contribs) 19:48, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable local politician. There's a lot of sources here but they mostly consist of routine coverage of his campaigns and other political activities in local news, which does not count towards notability, along with pieces where Duran is merely quoted or interviewed. The best sources that could argue for notability are a few local news pieces about his non-political activities ([50], [51]), but they are largely interview-based and not clearly independent coverage. I plan to AFD the related articles Devil Dog USA and Vet Talk after this AFD is closed.This article is also LLM-assisted/LLM-generated with vague analysis such as
Duran has appeared as a commentator in local and national media on veterans’ issues and New York City politics
, although scrubbing the LLM usage will not fix the notability issue.
