Fails WP:NCORP. Local DC-area chain of ketamine clinics.

Fails WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV, WP:NBIO and WP:NOTPROMO. The article does not demonstrate notability through significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Much of the sourcing appears weak, consisting of routine coverage and sources with questionable reliability. Several references were published on the same date and lack identifiable bylines or clear editorial oversight. Taken together, the available sources do not provide the depth of independent coverage required to establish encyclopedic notability. --BusyEditor (talk) 22:22, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GNG and WP:BIO, this article fails to establish independent, encyclopedic notability. A review of the sourcing shows that coverage of the subject was incredibly brief, completely transient, and has been almost entirely non-existent for over a decade. The few sources provided, with the newest one being a decade old, consist of a first-person piece written directly by the subject himself and local interview profiles that simply repeat his own unverified personal claims. There is a total lack of lasting, verifiable coverage from independent secondary sources. Paprikaiser (talk) 22:07, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I am proposing the deletion of this article per WP:NOTNEO, WP:NOTDICT and WP:POV. This is a non-neutral political neologism that has failed to achieve lasting adoption or widespread recognition. A review of the article's sources shows that coverage is entirely confined to a narrow window more than a decade old; there is zero contemporary usage in independent reliable sources to indicate the term ever transitioned into the mainstream lexicon. And the existing sources do not analyze the term as a distinct, encyclopedic concept. Instead, they consist of passing mentions tracking linguistic trends, localized Israeli military briefing terminology, and a collection of opinion pieces using the word as a transient, pejorative catchphrase alongside "Fatahland". Some of the sources are dead or don't even mention the term at all. Because long-term notability was never established, the article acts as a coatrack for an obsolete political insult and cannot be expanded past a basic dictionary definition.

"many credits and several emmy nominations" sounds like a Wikipedia:CREATIVE ("the person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work" ) AND a Wikipedia:ANYBIO ("The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times") pass.

Massacres of Ukrainians by Polish forces in World War II (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article was probably created in response to the recent rise in Polish-Ukrainian tensions. In many ways, it appears to be a mirror image of Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, perhaps intended as a counterbalance or a response to it.

The problem is that it effectively combines crimes committed against Ukrainian civilians by various Polish groups that had little or nothing to do with one another. These ranged from communist military forces to nationalist militias, organizations with different goals, operating independently and without coordination. By grouping all of these events together, the article creates the impression of a single, unified genocidal campaign against Ukrainians.

This is very different from the article on the Volhynia massacres, which deals with the so-called "anti-Polish action" carried out by the singular organisation OUN-B and it's armed force UPA in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia and which resulted in the deaths of roughly 100,000 Poles. In my opinion, presenting these unrelated events as a single phenomenon is misleading and amounts to original synthesis. I am not aware of any academic publication that treats the subject in this way.

Moreover, nearly every incident mentioned in the article already has its own dedicated Wikipedia entry, and there is also the article Polish–Ukrainian conflict (1939–1947) covering the broader context. As a result, this article does not seem to add any meaningful value. Also, although it's a minor thing, some of the events described happened after the WW2 ended, so they are outside of the article scope. Marcelus (talk) 20:30, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Disgusting whitewashing and false balance whataboutism genocide denial. UPA and Ukrainian civilians committed huge scale planned genocide and few righteous Ukrainian where murdered by Ukrainians (!) and few other by Poles in self-defense, but the UPA planned systematic genocide and want "Ukraine clean as glass of water" without Poles, Jews, Czechs and others. So compressing of those two is just disgusting genocide denial. First I will like to see article Volhynia genocide denial because it's what neonazi and nationalist Ukrainian propaganda is doing. From Nazi Ukrainian nationalist collaboration OUN Uprising of 1939, through commiting Volhynia genocide, denying it, calling it a conflict, till now naming unit after Nazi collaborators who committed genocide it's full blown antipolonism, Nazism and just not a place for this nationalist propaganda and denialism on Wiki ~2026-36363-21 (talk) 20:44, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SYNTH fork of Authoritarianism with sides of WP:NOTDICTIONARY and WP:TNT.

"Authoritarian playbook" is a common rhetorical phrase but does not seem to form an analytic structure used in scholarship, and if anyone ever lists the plays in the playbook, they vary in number and description. The article's creator wishes it to be "about typical authoritarian techniques",[1] but Authoritarian techniques (currently a redirect to this article) or List of Authoritarian techniques would have severe criteria and WP:OR challenges and risk being a fork of Authoritarianism. The creator modelled the article very closely on The Authoritarian Playbook: How reporters can contextualize and cover authoritarian threats as distinct from politics-as-usual[2] (not a WP:RS) from the advocacy organisation Protect Democracy, creating a list of techniques with many examples of "playbook" events from modern world history, which led to discussion at WP:NORN#Authoritarian playbook and to a large WP:COPYVIO revdel. That's left the current inadequate mess which doesn't look much like a sound foundation and has a mostly revdeled history; if there is ever to be an article with this title, this one is best cleared out of the way per WP:TNT.

Vladislav is multidisciplinary, has published several popular novels - books and gained popularity through them, is a doctor of science and a lecturer by profession, but is not only known for that. I think that the wealth of the English Wikipedia is that it also has articles about people who have biographies on smaller Wikipedias, especially if there are enough sources for them, which I think is the case here. --Djordjes (talk) 13:59, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging to Earthbound fandom#Fangames because the sources do not demonstrate the critical reception expected of a standalone article. Of the independent sources that actually discuss Bound to the Dark World, the GamesRadar source effectively only says that the project is impressive in scope, Time Extension mostly repeats an announcement, with about one sentence of added commentary: "As a result, it seems pretty fitting for fans of Earthbound to recreate one of Fox's games in this manner, with it being the perfect way to pay homage to the developer's ROM hacking past.", ResetEra is a forum thread, and GoNintendo is GUNREL. ~ A412 talk! 15:30, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, while i was trying to research more reliable sources for this article i found out this article has been nominated for merging! I will say though, there is indeed a lack of coverage, and i think a more appropiate merge would be if we just did a page for Undertale fangames.

The article is about a song by a relatively new artist which hasn't charted, nor nominated/won any awards, nor has it been covered/sampled by multiple notable artists. The vast majority of the sources are either about the release of the song or its accompanying EP, most read like industry press releases. The song has 52,767 listens on Spotify and 23,000 on YouTube with a live version on the latter with 523,000. All extra coverage I could find is about the song release. I suggest the article be merged in the artist page (XO (group). UaMaol (talk) 18:06, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - the articles meet GNG as they have several sources talking about the songs. Even if they are about the release of the song they still count for GNG.

  • Keep they have WP:SIGCOV from multiple reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the group. As for supposedly not having any award nominations or wins, please see their awards here; they do. In addition, the amount of streams these songs have received on various streaming platforms is completely irrelevant to any notability guideline. Also, although unrequired, I find the fact I was not alerted to these articles being nominated for deletion as the creator of all 4 to be in bad faith and uncourteous. With that, the stale warnings placed onto my talk page and adding tags to several of my article creations, it's giving WP:WIKIHOUNDING. – Meena19:24, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Lee appears to fail WP:NBIO and WP:CREATIVE. The current text of the page does not indicate notability, with claims like "perhaps best known for his work as the author of the spoof diaries of cricket captains Andrew Strauss and Ricky Ponting", "voted twenty-sixth best blog of 2010 by The Sydney Morning Herald", and "authors the successful blog series 'Responsibilities of an adman'" (which seems to be a series of LinkedIn posts).

The page also lacks citations; doing a search for other sources, there are no results about him that I can see in Google Books/News/Scholar (or at least they're lost in the results for the hundreds of other Jonathan Lees).

It seems there was already a discussion in May 2009 that was closed as delete, and User:Missfox recreated this article in July 2009 in contravention of that AfD.

    Hey all, I made the page (~18 years ago). I also didn't find anyone besides The Tufts Daily mentioning The Zamboni. However, all the references were fairly recent, and I remember there being some mentions predating what shows up in the results. If you don't mind the wait, I'm going to ask around some previous magazine editors to see if there are other mentions that are getting missed by search results. It doubt we will uncover that much more, though, so merging will probably be a good solution.

Perfunctory article for yet another Simpsons episode that entirely fails to establish notability. The vast majority of the anemic list of citations are Twitter posts (thinly veiled advertisements, really) and the rest are reviews from the usual TV-episode-review-mills that have reviewed all 5000 of the Simpsons episodes and will continue to do so until the heat death of the universe. Mere existence is insufficient to establish notability and this episode is mediocre even by The Simpsons standards. TPI81AF (talk) 20:47, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This article (which includes edits from the subject as well as an excessive amount of non-BLP-relevant detail, undue praise/criticism, non-encyclopedic tone, and promotional language) is fundamentally a biography of a living person who received coverage for a single event -- coming out as trans. All of the coverage available about Phaneuf came in a single short burst over a few days in December 2025; otherwise, this is a low-profile person who has not received WP:SUSTAINED coverage prior to or after the coming out news. As a result, I do not believe WP:NBIO or WP:GNG is met here. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:07, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Text information provided by subject that is not found in a secondary reliable source (birth date, HRT start date, etc.) has been removed. As it has been claimed that the article contained an excessive amount of intricate detail, multiple paragraphs providing extra detail have been removed.
The article contains multiple paragraphs outlining both the positive and negative reactions the subject has received, demonstrating a WP:NPOV.
All of the coverage available about the subject did not come in a single short burst over a few days in December 2025. For example, the following news article from Spectrum News is coverage that was published on April 12, 2026 on the subject months after the coming out news, which demonstrates WP:SUSTAINED coverage.
WP:BIO1E states "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." For example, Marcy Rheintgen is a trans woman who was arrested for washing her hands in a women's bathroom, yet she has an article for this single event titled the Arrest of Marcy Rheintgen. As I believe the subject's coming out is also highly significant, I have moved the article from Phillippa Phaneuf to Coming Out of Phillippa Phaneuf.
As a result, I believe WP:NBIO and WP:GNG is met here. AnotherAnonUsername (talk) 19:29, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No clear established notability; minimal secondary RS coverage. TurquoiseGoose (talk) 22:18, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hesitant about AfD. The article may have a plausible claim to notability through the long broadcasting career, including BBC and regional broadcasting work, so a fuller WP:BLP search seems best before deletion.
However, to OPs point, the article clearly needs WP:RS cleanup. Poorly sourced personal details, especially date of birth and family information, should be removed unless supported by strong reliable sources (in addition to independent secondary sources). If those sources cannot be found after cleanup, then AfD or redirect/merge (BBC Radio Manchester) may be appropriate. ABehjat (talk) 01:39, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep: I agree with the nominator that the article currently reads promotional and needs cleanup. However, the subject founded a notable company that has received significant coverage in industry publications and news sites. The subject himself has also been covered in detail in a few independent articles, and lot of passing mentions, which I believe he likely passes WP: NBASIC.

Of the nine references, four are to copies of the short story, the second is a link to log into Academia.edu, the third is from a self-published journal (although it is a dead link, I found a copy from the article author on Medium, and the fourth is from a note-taking website.

Oppose this article is about deliberate teachings of, for the most part, objective facts about the Holocaust. The other article is about the various conclusions different people have drawn from the Holocaust, mainly outside of an educational context.

This article is a POV fork on a topic that is covered very well at Google Brain#Controversies.

It was created and subsequently expanded with obvious intent to serve as a POV fork by Qq8's sockpuppets (now mostly blocked); Qq8 has openly acknowledged that he is Igor Markov, a prominent AlphaChip opponent, whose papers are now cited 14 times in the article. (More than half the article's current content is still a product of Qq8 socks.)

I was encouraged to open this AfD by Vanamonde93 while acknowledging my own disclosed CoI; they assured me that this AfD should not be procedurally closed on this basis. LovinLifer (talk) 14:54, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have no opinion on the article itself but I would encourage a substantive discussion here, as the closer of the previous AfD. There have been revelations of sockpuppetry since that discussion that should receive attention, even if the result does not change. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:28, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is the evidence here? Can you specify the user names of the sock puppets, and show what text they contributed? How did you come up with the figure of half the text? Also, I followed the link where you claim Qq8 is Igor Markov, and it was not at all obvious to me (It appeared he was defending clock tree synthesis as a separate article). The standard of proof should be particularly high here, as you are (as you state) paid by a company that is at least partially based on the technology criticized here. Particularly as this is the third time you have tried to delete this article, I'd suggest a speedy administrative close until and unless these accusations can be documented. LouScheffer (talk) 16:35, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    The nominator has provided that information. The link attached to Qq8 has openly acknowledged shows an edit summary posted by Qq8 and signed as Igor Markov. This certainly supports the idea that Qq8 is Igor Markov. (It's not proof--Qq8 could be falsely claiming to be Markov--but it's as close as we're likely to get.) The user names of the sock puppets are at the SPI case linked in the nomination statement. The text contributed by each sockpuppet can be worked out from the article history--it is a lot of work and I personally don't feel nominator was obliged to go that far. If you need to see it, though, ping me and I can do it. It's a matter of objective fact (matching the SPI case against the article history) and it shouldn't matter who does it. M kuhner (talk) 16:54, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    You said "The text contributed by each sockpuppet can be worked out from the article history--it is a lot of work and I personally don't feel nominator was obliged to go that far." However, the nominator is proposing a fairly drastic action - deleting a page. It's up to him to provide at least *some* concrete evidence for his accusations. While certainly not exhaustive, I could not find *any* contribution to the page in question by *any* of the aliases in the sock puppet page. (Update: 'Bob the Guilder', at 7.2% of the text, is indeed in the sock puppet list. See below.)
    Update: using the Wikipedia tool 'Who Wrote That', I have found only one link to the names mentioned in the sock puppet page. It appears that the article was created by "~2026-54236-5", and this text represents 39.7% of the current article. But I did not find this name in the list of sock puppets. Next was myself, "LouScheffer", at 31.2% of the article. Next is "Cdmx545467" at 8.2%. This name was not in the sock puppet file either. "Bob the Guilder" is at 7.2% (he is in the sock puppet list, but lists arguments on both sides), then lots of small contributions, such as "Twag45" at 2.3%. Interestingly (at least to me) there is only one sentence left from the original article which has not been modified by subsequent edits. So the article has been subject to significant editorial screening. LouScheffer (talk) 20:51, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical subject not shown to meet WP:NBIO or WP:SIGCOV. In terms of the sources, the main four (BabylonRadio 2021, CelticLife 2021, PantiBar 2021, GCN 2022) do not represent in-depth coverage and are not intellectually independent of each other (all contain effectively the same short text and derived from and/or specifically mention the same source podcast/blogpost). The fifth (Philips 2024 p.229) is a trivial passing mention (in which the subject's name/DOB simply appears in a list of 12 other names/DOBs - with no biographical information provided). In terms of the claims to notability, all of the sources (and the original blogpost) directly acknowledge that there is "[no] more available information about McCormack, apart from this historical [birth/death] record". While, perhaps, there is a possible WP:ATD/R target in LGBTQ history in Ireland (where the subject's name appears alongside other named people), personally I don't support this. As the main claim to notability, as "Dublin's [or Ireland's] first transgender person", doesn't appear to be established. Given that (a) the original blogposter frames/titles their research as a qualified question ("Dublin's first recorded transgender person? [question mark]"). And (b) so do the derived webpages ("could be the first transgender person recorded in Dublin"). And (c) the sources (like Philips 2024 p.229) list other transgender people who predate the subject.

  • Keep - I have added some additional works with critical reviews; for the Lexikon that the subject edited, there is only one review cited in the article, but that review mentions five others in its first footnote. So to my mind WP:NAUTHOR is met (multiple works with multiple reviews), and his presidency of de:Deutsche Gesellschaft für Information und Wissen for six years bolsters the case for notability. I have also added a couple of academic bios / CVs (granted one is hosted on academia.edu, and a better one would be nice) that should help verify some or most of the career information, though that section does need some copyediting and maybe slight expansion. I will try and do that over the next few days. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 16:25, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing that might hold notability is the Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, but even then it's sourced to a suspicious website called World Business Insights. Google Search also finds this article on Aspire Navigators. Both front pages seem to feature a man named Serge Deuvletian, so it seems this is a network of fake magazine mills puffed up with generic news stories.

"Only significant role is in the movie Member Rameshan 9aam Ward while other roles being minor." is inaccurate, She has at least two significant roles in notable productions, the one that the nominator acknowledges and "The Young Girl" (despite the generic name for the role it is one of the lead roles) in Footage. See reviews mentioning her performance in that film, for example: https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment-news/reviews/malayalam/footage-film-review-an-experimental-film-that-offers-a-thrilling-experience-review-112738184/amp, https://thesouthfirst.com/entertainment/malayalam/footage-malayalam-movie-review/ etc. Therefore a WP:NACTRESS pass, not a fail.

adding more news articles on it doesn't make it any more notable. it just makes it even more of an advertisement. AFD even more so! RingtailedFoxTalkContribs 22:23, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As a member of dn42, I would of course be happy if the article stayed.
- dn42 exists. It currently has over 1,000 routes.
- It is active. There are many self-hosted services there (e. g. HackINT IRC network, games, chats, blogs, search engine, Looking Glasses, Network Maps, Speedtests, Forums, ...).
- The article is relevant. When I want information, Wikipedia is one of the first places I go. If you’re looking into overlay networks, you’re bound to come across dn42. Other overlay networks also have articles on Wikipedia. It would be a shame if dn42 were left out.
- Unlike other networks such as I2P or Tor, dn42 does not aim to provide anonymity or similar features, nor does it simply seek to provide a secure transport layer like Yggdrasil; rather, its goal is to actively explore network technologies. This makes it unique among overlay networks.
- DN42 meetups take place at many Chaos-related events. For example, https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/en/event/detail/dn42-network-operators-meetup or https://entropia.de/index.php?title=Spezial%3ASuche&search=dn42
- The dn42 is quite old. It originated early on from the diac24 (a smaller version of today's dn42; see also the "History" section in the article). So dn42 isn't just a small, short-lived project - it has a real history behind it. This history is also interesting from a technical standpoint. At the time, different technologies and documentation formats were used (text files instead of Git registry).
- The dn42 is unique. If you don't have the resources (e.g., money, as in my case) to participate in the "real" Internet of the IANA, the dn42 offers a great opportunity to experience similar challenges. Furthermore, the dn42 is well-suited for beginners, since you can experiment with much more than on the real Internet (e.g., offering transit) and don’t have to worry as much if you misconfigure something.
For context: dn42 is not a commercial entity. It is a network of many individuals who experiment with Internet technologies such as BGP. While there is a central registry, everything else is decentralized.
Further context: I haven’t read through the entire IRC history, but Ringtail seems to have wanted to join dn42 since around 2024. Apparently, he had problems registering with the central registry and subsequently connecting to other participants. It seems the impression arose that Ringtail was trying to waste other people’s time and effort. At some point, he was then banned from IRC. And he wanted others to deregister him. After his request was not fulfilled (among other reasons, because it is technically impossible with Git), he proposed deleting the Wikipedia article. This could lead to the suspicion that he is doing this out of revenge. Whether that is the case, I can only speculate; I do not know his motivation (or rather, I can only guess).
Personally, I hope this deletion request is closed just as quickly as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Libera_Chat. Mark22k (talk) 01:51, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The more people bring my edit history up, the less relevant it becomes. I honestly don't care, and i don't understand why you guys do. This isn't some sort of precedent-setting incident, and just further proves my claims of stalking, harassment and brigading.
Just NOMINATING this for deletion seems to have royally pissed off the DN42 community. You wanna fight dirty? fine, i'll drag ya into the mud with me.
I was told i was always welcome to ask questions and ask for advice on how to configure my router to work with dn42, but whenvever i did, i was told i was a "help vampire" due to having difficulties with configuration and eventually quieted, then banned, without a reason. Then when i stuck up for myself as anyone rightly would, I was given a 90 day ban from their network, of which i have zero plans to ever return.
The behaviour of the Dn42 members like you, ellenore, Grobe0ba , JLu5, Kioubit and others is beyond immature and beyond apalling, and i can't help but laugh at the insanity and arrogance prsented by you.
Mark22k, you can speculate all you want, but again, the more you obsess about Libera_Chat for whatever reasonm the more it proves me right.

  • For further context, I have witnessed some canvassing-like activity in the DN42-related IRC channels in the time since the ProD and this AfD were posted. The canvassing seemed neutral enough, but it has brought a non-neutral, involved "keep" party out of the woodwork, evidenced in Mark22k's keep recommendation. RingtailedFox reported me for vandalism, and Mvcg66b3r reported Grobe0ba for vandalism related to edits apparently intended to disrupt this AfD (which, yes, would be vandalism).

    Thanks for admitting the pro-DN42 brigading going on. even more evidence for speedy deletion if they're that desperate to keep the article! No, elenor... Nominating an article for deletion IS NOT VANDALISM. You guys really do get pissed off whenever someone either asks for help or disagrees with you! Too bad, deal with it.

    I don't see a grounds for speedy which would fit (the closest I see is CSD A7, but credible claims of significance are made; in the ANI thread regarding grobe0ba you also claimed CSD G11, though not by name, which doesn't seem right). The tone of the article is maybe a bit unencyclopedic, but in the realm of deletion, it would seem that the AfD process is the correct process, not speedy or Pro-D (which was disputed wihin the 7 day window).

Comment look i made my account after seeing the discussion on the article but i've found like 3 academic sources from 2018, 2022, and 2023 that discuss dn42 just searching google scholar for "decentralized network 42" so i mean dn42 is being discussed academically across multiple years idk how helpful this is but do what you will with the info Ibnqirtaiba (talk) 04:31, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, ellenor2000 already said she saw them planning to flood this place with "keep" votes on the dn42 irc server, so that's brigading and tosses the legitimacy of any fair vote on this matter here... it proves my point that it's not notable of an organization if they have to resort to such behaviour in the first place.
the fact that they erupt with such rage over something so inconsequential is deeply disturbing on many levels. No notable organization would have its members behave in such a manner. RingtailedFoxTalkContribs 04:37, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
that's cool and all dog but i ain't used irc since like 2005 and got here from the giant thing on the dn42 article that says it being discussed for deletion, i aint "voting" anything but there are sources from google scholar that i listed and this place says according to this "the minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, and a Google News search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects" like i said y'all do with em what you will but my point was mainly searching for the full name versus dn42 produced more mentions Ibnqirtaiba (talk) 05:49, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Initially I speedy deleted this article, which to my mind meets both the A7 and the G11 criteria. Following a deletion review, where other users did not agree, I've restored it. The subject is a local politician, who would not meet the notability criteria for the English Wikipedia, where we don't include local mayors, council leaders, etc. The criteria may be different at the Indonesian Wikipedia, whence the article was initially translated. Following this, the article was substantially edited by another user with an undeclared COI, which didn't help. The article is laid out in the form of a CV and most earlier versions used the subject's forename, often an indication that they are known to the author, though in this case that is not so. I do not believe that the references provided (one of which is from LinkedIn!) are enough to demonstrate individual notability, so for me it's just a question of whether a "Regent", described in the Regent article as "the English translation of bupati, the head of a kabupaten (second level local government)", is automatically notable. Deb (talk) 16:05, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Elected leader of the Dharmasraya Regency, which has a population over 240,000. This is not a local mayor or council leader. The position is Regency (Indonesia).
More coverage of Indonesia is needed, not less. The well referenced id:Pemilihan umum Bupati Dharmasraya 2024 needs translations as well, to “2024 Dharmasraya Regental Election. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:41, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete, but could be persuaded the other way. Here on en.wiki, the relevant guideline on automatic politicial notability is WP:NPOL, which says major local political figures (which I think applies to an Indonesian regent) are presumed notable if they have have received significant press coverage; and just being an elected local official...does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline. So this boils down to the quality and depth of available sourcing. The article does have several sources which appear to be plausibly independent press outlets (in addition to that LinkedIn page). However, to someone like me not from Indonesia, they feel like biographical material, press release-type material, noncritically repeated when a candidate for important local elected office appears. I don't (yet) see the type of editorially independent analysis I think we need for GNG. I try to be sensitive to geographical bias in situations like these, and have looked up 3 random cities with comparable population size (~250k) in Canada; we do have articles on all 3 mayors, but in one case it is a stub that is marginal, and in the other 2, there is a significantly richer and longer press trace and political career on which to ground an article. So I end up, for now, on the delete side. But weakly so, and would switch if anyone could pinpoint 1 or more of the sources here (or provide additional ones) which exhibit genuine editorial independence and independent insight, from which an article could be written that is more than just a CV. Martinp (talk) 22:49, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
She is weak on NPOL, low press coverage, because it was an election with a single candidate. A better solution than deletion is to write 2024 Dharmasraya Regental Election, for which the Indonesian article is well sourced, and to consider merging Annisa Suci Ramadhani into that, if even post-election coverage is not there. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:08, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Dharmasraya Regency is only one of the 19 subdivisions of West Sumatra Province, making the regent a local elected official. As a regent, some coverage is expected, mostly from local news outlets, which I do not think is sufficient to establish notability.
Most of the references in the article also focus on the election itself, especially since she ran unopposed against the empty ballot. Ckfasdf (talk) 02:22, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It is worth remembering that NPOL is not an exclusive criteria. Not passing NPOL means you refer to GNG, not a disqualification. Juxlos (talk) 02:46, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
IMO, GNG and NPOL are the qualifying criteria to have article in WP. Ckfasdf (talk) 03:51, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Please give NPOL another read.
People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included.
There is no requirement for NPOL to be passed for GNG to work. That is in NPOL itself. Juxlos (talk) 06:45, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep while not explicitly in WP:NPOL, regents/mayors in Indonesia have a surprising amount of political authority; they are often elected with comparable numbers of votes to a British MP (in this person's case, ~65 thousand) in the small-to-medium sized districts. I have added some coverage of her ~16 month so far term; there are unsurprisingly many press releases if you look up online, but there are adequate amounts of sufficiently independent WP:RS (e.g. Antara, the Sawit website) to pass WP:GNG. Juxlos (talk) 02:46, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned above, a regent will naturally receive some local coverage. This is reflected in the references cited in the article, many of which come from local outlets, such as Antara Sumbar (the West Sumatra branch of Antara), Langgam.id, Regional Kompas, and Minangsatu.com. However, I do not think this level of local coverage is sufficient to establish notability. Ckfasdf (talk) 03:51, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
And what is the issue with local (provincial branch of a national newspaper (Kompas), news agency (Antara), and regional news website for a province of 6 million people) coverage? There are no policies against local newspapers, only WP:ROUTINE; and consider if these are routine:
Juxlos (talk) 07:44, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
First, thanks for adding and expanding. I agree with you that "weak on NPOL" means nothing if GNG is met (the logical flow is the other way - strong on NPOL would but sufficient but is not necessary). That said, I also don't think GNG is met yet. Your adds, while indeed independent coverage mentioning Annisa, are not really substantial coverage of Annisa as an individual. They appear to be routine coverage of declarations and decisions that you would expect arise in any such local unit, not any degree of reflection about this individual and what is specific about them or their activities in their role. So far, we have "X is the acclaimed candiate for [role] in [location]; her resume is Y" sources. And we have "X as [role] declared/decided Y about a local issue in [location]". What we need is "What is characteristic about X in [role] is Y" or "X's background of ... has influenced her actions by ..." or "X is notable for being the first / only ... in [role]" type coverage.

  • Keep Tempo is a national magazine. Between the profile there and the depth of more regional sources, I feel like GNG is met. As for the coverage focusing on the election... that's par for the course for Indonesian media. The "celebration of democracy" aspect of elections still hasn't died out in almost 30 years, even with a general autocratic backslide in the past decade, and the depth of coverage is significantly greater than one would expect at a comparable level in some countries (in Canada, for example, a county leader race would receive little coverage at the provincial level, let alone at the national level). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:25, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing notable here and WP:TOOSOON at best. Tried to draftify but was immediately reverted. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:25, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It is a new entry in a very popular franchise that recently got announced. It was featured on Xbox's Game Showcase, and articles were written about it by IGN, Eurogamer, Variety, and The Guardian. I don't understand how this would not be notable enough for Wikipedia. Cloweee (talk) 18:31, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It also already has a store page on places like Steam. Seems notable enough to me AkaAko (talk) 17:20, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep - there’s plenty of references for it to remain, it’s a notable franchise and information is likely to further expand the entry rapidly considering the game is likely to launch within 9 months - delays will only add. Little reason to draftify.
Awkwarddd (talk) 19:26, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect. Not enough information, make a draft.

    So much this! Like, there's already store pages for this. Even if I feel like the pre-order nonsense has gotten a little out of hand lately, it's clearly an established game already, not just a rumor or whatever. Plus there's already further info cropping up about it. AkaAko (talk) 20:27, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's assuming the release date doesn't get postponed or cancelled. We don't have a WP:CRYSTALBALL that lets us see into the future and know for certain that "in a few months" an article will be warranted. Either way, draft space is better for games that only have run-of-the-mill announcements without a clearly established release date. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:42, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It might just be my past as a journalist talking, but it seems like it'd be better to keep this page up than just remake it further down the road. Some information is more than no information, and there are official pages for the game already AkaAko (talk) 20:29, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
(Also sorry if my formatting is a bit off, I'm relatively new here) AkaAko (talk) 20:30, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, it wouldn't need to be remade from scratch. Wikipedia has "Draft articles" where articles can be worked on before being published, and there's a draft of this at Draft:Spyro: A Realm Beyond. This article got turned into a draft but then split back into a main article due to a miscommunication between two users. ~2026-32492-01 (talk) 22:19, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I see many pre-release video game articles at AFC and NPP. I feel like there needs to be a clearer guidance on how WP:TOOSOON applies, because I think it can be simultaneously true that the current informal practice is to avoid passing articles for upcoming games founded only on press releases and announcements, whilst also accepting managing these can create odd procedural outcomes and that it doesn't take guesswork to anticipate that major studio games are going to attain general notability. Is this a conversation worth having on the WP:VG talk page? VRXCES (talk) 22:33, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    There is still some element of WP:CRYSTAL involved. For example, let's say one makes an article about Elder Scrolls VI the moment it was announced. The game's still vaporware 8 years later, and it's highly debatable whether a page on it should even exist now. No one can predict whether a major game will actually be released, and the game can still be cancelled if some corporate bigwig somewhere woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Until a game is virtually locked in for release or has significant coverage in its pre-release state, it is too soon. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 10:26, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to fail WP:NPROF, none of the awards are prominent enough for criteria 2 and the other citations are to Ping's own articles. Mariamneireach out 🕊️ 10:07, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. She has done a significant amount of collaborative work where it appears that her group has done the theory part. Hence her area should be classified as fairly high citation, comparable to experimental sold-state chemistry/physics or materials science. On that basis her h-factor & total citations are a bit low, and there are no (as yet) "high-impact" papers which would be those with > 1K cites. The awards are important for her career, but are all starter grants. I dont see other SIGCOV. The accelleration of her cites/year is very encouraging, but it seems to still be a little early WP:TOOSOON by 2-3 years. It is a close call, and I would change my vote if someone finds additional indicators.Ldm1954 (talk) 11:39, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. While she indeed doesn't have any work with citation counts in the thousands, I will add that having a dozen papers with > 100 citations in about as many years is a sign of her being a leader in her field. She also doesn't just have starter grants - she earned the NSF Career Award and the Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, both notable enough to have their own pages. Speaking as a researcher in a related field, I can say that while these fall short of the prestige conferred by more obvious indicators like an APS fellowship, it's definitely nothing to sneeze at either. I think it's borderline per above, but I'm inclined to keep at the moment. RaisedArizona (talk) 14:42, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Note that this is a high-citation, high-publication field where someone in the 3rd year of their PhD can already have 15 papers and an h-index of 9, and where someone whose first publication was in 2020 can have 1200+ citations, an h-index of 14, and multiple Nature papers.

  • Keep — his Google Scholar h-index is 90 with 28573 citations. His Scopus h-index is 81 with 28972 citations. These scores and citation numbers indicate that he is widely cited and has had an impact on his field, which meets WP:NACADEMIC#C1 criteria: "1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." and also "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates."

Sometimes organisations are difficult to determine their notability, however you see a clearly non notable one when there are no secondary or at least reliable sources to back up the contents herein. Bearing this in mind, such resonates with this article as if fails WP:ORGCRIT which, for me, should there be WP:ATD at all, should never be considered.

Note that another article was recently merged here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/African Pride Accelerated.

  • Weak keep. Would support merging if there's an article where that would make sense.

    Similar to another discussion, I agree with Weak Keep, and what you have stated here. There needs to be time to let this article grow and expand. As stated above, it had only been mere hours after the article was created that it was nominated for deletion. Also, this AfD is blatantly unfair to the labor of those who wrote the article to nominate it for deletion, rather than the OP beginning a discussion on article on the appropriate talk page. Yet another case of deletion being used to engage in cleanup, when editing and improvements could have solved the issues that the OP believes are a problem.

  • Delete - At least on this sourcing. The source analysis table is the wrong one. This organisation should be considered under WP:NORG and the newspaper articles are primary sources that do not meet WP:SIRS (which, in any case, applies to GNG as well). But the NORG assessment table asks editors to explicitly consider if sources are primary, and they are here. Consider: on the two alleged passing sources, what do these sources say about the organisation? Nothing. They are reports of the organisation's advocacy activity, but they provide no WP:ORGDEPTH coverage and do not meet WP:ORGCRIT. In particular, these sources fail WP:ORGCRIT because they are not independent of the subject, despite the source analysis table stating otherwise. The two articles are clearly written off the back of press releases, as is standard when organisations take part in such advocacy work. So as it stands, we have no independent reliable secondary sources from which to write an article and this is a clear WP:NORG fail. I think it needs scrutiny from more editors familiar with WP:NORG. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:31, 17 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment. Thanks for taking a closer look! I compared the recent New Telegraph article and Heap News article because I wondered if they were based on the same press release, but I'm guessing they're just based on the same event, since they vary in the details presented, order of information, and quotes. The earlier Guardian Nigeria article seems to be similarly based on an event. Looking at WP:ORGIND, these articles have independence of the author, which is what I was thinking about, but they don't really have "original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject". Tricky since I haven't seen much of that style of reporting in the Guardian Nigeria, New Telegraph, or most of the similar newspapers listed at WP:NAIJARS. Dreamyshade (talk) 22:16, 17 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: It just does not meet WP:NORG. Allowing more time should take place in Draft space, so I would probably say, draftify it and let it come through AfC review, although I support the merge as well. This seems like a classic case of WP:ILIKEIT.
For the interesting source assessment table above, the first source is "a joint statement made by ISHRAI and another organization", obvious failure of WP:ORGTRIV, classic example of routine news coverage. The second one has absolutely no depth mentioning the subject and fails WP:ORGDEPTH. For the third one, an event-driven report, "mainly reports what the organization said", which is an obvious failure of WP:CORPTRIV. The fourth one is same as the third. Nowhere near notability... — Raihanur (talk) 14:54, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm trying to read WP:CORPTRIV closely to understand this better, and I'm a bit confused - the list says "Examples of trivial coverage that do not count toward meeting the significant coverage requirement: [...] presentations, speeches, lectures, etc. given by organization's personnel", which seems to indicate that the presentations/speeches/lectures themselves are trivial coverage, not necessarily defining press coverage of presentations/speeches/lectures as trivial?
Not trying to argue for notability at this point though, since the best sources I've found are all borderline at best. Draftification probably wouldn't help much - I'd be surprised if anyone could find substantial sources I haven't found yet, so the org would need to attract substantial international press coverage, which seems unlikely in the near term. Best alternative to deletion would be a redirect to LGBTQ rights in Nigeria as the closest related article, but there are no incoming links to this article from other articles.

Footnote 1: this is a blog, and of course fails WP:RS. It is a routine interview that has no in-depth analysis except fanciful things about the person being interviewed.

Ft 2: This is the article owner's website, hence it is a primary source, but still fails to verify or go in-depth how he is "a Nigerian writer, software engineer, and entrepreneur".

Ft 3: It is his company's website and fails to explain, as the article said, what is Selar about. This is purely an WP:original research.

Ft 4: Fails WP:RS. It is a puff written by the page owner in his medium website, an unreliable website. (See WP:MEDIUM).

Ft 5: this is an interview] (WP:INTERVIEW) and fails WP:RS. Again, the source/website is a blog or perhaps a one man editor platform) (See WP:BLOG).

Ft 6: Tech Cabal is reliable to info about technology. In this context, it is an interview. It fails WP:RS.

Ft 7: This is an interview which is not reliable since the person interviewed talks about himself and those things are unverifiable. Nigerian CEO Magazine is generally unreliable since it lacks byline.

Ft 8, 9, and 10 are all pufferies from unreliable sources: www.thecreativebrief.africa, CIO Africa, and Business Elites Africa (see WP:NGRS).

Let us see the sources listed in this discussion:

Ft. 1 is a list of new articles about Selar and not about the founder. Hence this fails into WP:INHERIT. It was listed by User:Obinna Tony.

This same user, in listing his WP:THREE, he listed 4 and here are the analysis. Ft. 1 i.e. Tech Labari is a pure blog and its lack of in-depth research on articles is relevant to being a one man managed platform. Again, it is not independent of Douglas since rather than the founder, it was all about the company (see WP:INDEPENDENT).

Ft 2: BusinessDay is a reliable source, however this particular article is obviously a paid stuff, writing about the history of Selar. It, too, doesn't make Selar notable since it is a simple paid puffery. User:Myceteae, I wonder what you will say here because from your !vote above, it seems you never read the content of that article; you probably presumed that because it is a reliable source work, it must have been through, independent and verifiable or that you are a person that cites a website without checking its content for the sake of the website being reliable. Or don't you know that a website can be reliable and still write rubbish once in a time it even frequently?

Ft 3: Techpoint Africa is a reliable source per WP:NGRS but the content of the article is never about Douglas but about the company called Selar which he founded. That doesn't automatically make him notable (See WP:INHERIT).

Ft 4: this is a Substack writer's work and it is highly promotional and unreliable since it often contains, like this one, personal essays.

Let us also see the five sources listed by User:Historyday01:

Ft 1: The Star is a reliable source, however this particular article is a commentary, which means an original research, perhaps an opinion of the author, in this case, by Martin Mwita.

Ft 2: A database collection of the conference's speaker's information. This is clearly an unverifiable primary source and fails WP:RS.

Ft 3: The Punch is notable per WP:NGRS, however this is an interview, a promotional puff, as well as a failed verification. How? The travel guide adviser Waka Waka Doctor is different from Douglas, the founder of Selar. It is obviously now clear that this user who cited this either didn't read it or perhaps understands not what a reliable and verifiable information is.

Ft 4: this piece from disrupt article is a pure blog post. Disrupt Africa is a one man run portal for startups. It lacks credibility and may have been copy and paste work because one person, logically, cannot handle reliable information of vast research without helpers like reporters. Again, the website itself is a blog platform.

Ft 5: Pulse NG is reliable, however they made it clear that this is a sponsored post using the tag #FeaturebySelar. Also, the paid stuff is showcased at the end of the piece, written as "You can go to selar.co and sign up for free and start selling your digital products and services. It takes less than 5 minutes to sign up on Selar." Is this not obvious?

Ft 6: Condia is an unreliable source. Again, should we consider the piece, then it fails WP:RS because it is not of Douglas but a passing mention of him.

I have exhaustively reviewed, like I did before this nomination, all sources and now the ones presented here. I see an illogic move here. The editors seem to lack some knowledge on WP:RS criteria. Maybe the article itself is explainable. They often think that a reliable source cannot publish nonsense or even brown envelope journalism. It is common here in Nigeria but that is anyway doesn't mean that when we see good pieces, we won't know. It is typical to any Nigerian editor who's actually editing to help bridge the gap we are having with African contents. In this case, I do not think, like any rational being will do, that saving an article that is not notable just for a particular reason is any worthwhile because it is of no use and wastes the community's time like this. I support WP:ATD but not for things I know that are evasively non notable. Cheers!SafariScribeEdits! Talk! 07:51, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify or else just delete. Agreeing with the source assessment above. It is not impossible that more and better sources will be found, such that this could be reliably sourced, but it is not right now, and neither do we have evidence that this meets WP:ANYBIO. I'd suggest draftify as an ATD for 2 reasons. Firstly, because, in an under represented locale, where good sources are harder to find, it is quite possible this should be someone treated as notable, and good sources may emerge, and secondly, because the editor who wrote this is clearly in good faith, but not fully aware of the sourcing requirements on Wikipedia, and I would encourage them to keep at it, and seek out those better sources. Even if they eventually come to their own conclusion that this subject is not notable, they will gain invaluable experience in the search. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:31, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    That is surely correct. I fear that when draftified, who knows the author might move it to namespace again, and then we'll start another AFD. In your presentable terms, I support to draftify. SafariScribeEdits! Talk! 11:32, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I will refrain from responding to SafariScribe's thinly veiled insult but these should be discounted by the closer.
Ft 5: this is an interview] (WP:INTERVIEW) and fails WP:RS. Again, the source/website is a blog or perhaps a one man editor platform) (See WP:BLOG). African Folder may have been founded by an individual but per the About Us page you linked, they are part of a larger multimedia conglomerate. Their editorial standards and policies appear in line with other generally reliable sources. This is not a personal blog nor are there major red flags that suggest they are not reliable.
Ft 1: The Star is a reliable source, however this particular article is a commentary, which means an original research, perhaps an opinion of the author, in this case, by Martin Mwita. Commentary or analysis can contribute to notability and may be a reliable source with attribution.
Some of the other sources about Kendyson specifically are weak. I would still lean keep as there is evidence of likely notability here. As alternatives, I would support draftification or development of a Selar (company) article where some content from this article could be merged. As SafariScribe notes, several reliable sources provide SIGCOV of the company. —Myceteae🌈 (talk) 14:38, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Analysis

Source 1: Piggyvest is a blog, but a blog is not unreliable because it's a blog, according to Wikipedia. It's a Piggyvest blog, a reliable fintech that has a page redirected to the founder. PiggyVest

Source 2: Primary sources are allowed on Wikipedia, but should be used sparingly when secondary sources are available. It was used to support his job.

Source 3: It was used to usher people who might read the article and want to understand what Selar is about.

Source 4: It's a medium piece only used to support his sexuality.

Source 5: It's an interview and a look at the politics and movie sections alone; there are five different bylines.

Source 6: This is a feature interview that incorporates both personal analysis and the interviewee's opinion, not a plain interview.

Source 7: This is, in fact, an interview, but their about page clearly indicates it's a reliable source with physical offices: https://nigerianceomagazine.com/contact-us/

Source 8: This is a Creative Brief substack published by Tima Agency, as stated on their substack: https://tima.agency/

Source 9: Unreliable source? CIOAfrica The Team: https://cioafrica.co/about-us/

Source 10: The article has a byline from Wale Ameen, who has a portfolio on Muckrack (https://muckrack.com/wale-ameen/portfolio) and journalist.net (https://journalist.net/wale.ameen), and has been published in various reputable outlets.

SOURCE DISCUSSIONS

SOURCE 1: Back to the sources I listed on that chat, because they accused Selar of not being notable, and when I said it's notable for being popular, someone said that being popular doesn't mean notable, so I shared these. So, I didn't share these to support Douglas Kendyson but rather Selar. Not sure why they are trying to flip it.

Techlabari might be a one-man-run website, as with most poorly funded Nigerian websites, but it doesn't necessarily post misinformation. There has to be proof to make a case for the argument.

Source 2: user:Myceteae, this could be a paid article (like a lot of articles on reputable sources), but "them" accusing something of being a paid article without evidence doesn't make it a paid article. What do you think?

Source 3: This source was shared because this user, SafariScribe, accused Selar of not being notable, and someone told me to prove it's notable, not to support Douglas. I don't know why they are trying to flip it now.

Source 4: Comminique is a reliable subtack website. The owner's portfolio: https://www.davidadeleke.com/writing . They have been published on Al Jazeera and were a former editor at the Rest of the World.

Obinna Tony (talk) 10:05, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence that the BusinessDay article is a paid contribution but it is somewhat promotional in tone. As for the Substack, sometimes self-published sources can be cited in articles when the author is a recognized subject matter expert. The use case is quite limited and these generally cannot contribute to reliability. —Myceteae🌈 (talk) 14:40, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Yeah! Promotional voice is something unique with profiles and feature pieces.
btw, see this: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#h-Substack-20260616182500 Obinna Tony (talk) 15:38, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for sharing. I only skimmed the RSN thread but I agree with what I read there about the approach to Substack. I believe this is largely covered in WP:BLOG, WP:ABOUTSELF, and WP:EXPERTSPS. Much of our determination of reliability comes down to editorial standards, processes, and track record. A blog or newsletter almost always fails on this assessment, though there are exceptions. —Myceteae🌈 (talk) 16:52, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Obinna Tony, incase you skipped reading the full discussion, per WP:SPS, Never use a self-published source as a third-party source about living people, even if the author is an expert, well-known professional researcher, or writer.

Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. The references are just passing mentions and routine coverage.

  • Delete. Nothing like the coverage to meet relevant notability criteria. And I'd advise article contributors to read Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

2014 British cabinet reshuffle (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seeing as 2026 British cabinet reshuffle is proposed for deletion currently at Articles for Deletion (AfD), I have decided to nominate other articles of that series so that debate can be put to rest in a very definitive manner. The significance of this topic is not obvious to someone who did not follow British politics closely in 2014 and is a routine event. Qwerty123M (talk) 05:16, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this has been up for years has proper sources and has a bunch of other stuff no reason to delete it Ivanhardybirt (talk) 09:23, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Thanks for flagging this issue. The 2014 case was definitely a reshuffle, so keep.
I think the best way to judge a reshuffle vs ministerial changes between reshuffles is to check the individual Ministry pages. In this case Cameron–Clegg coalition.
This shows there were 3 Cabinets in this period (2010-2012, 2012-2014, and 2014-2016) so the reshuffles were 2012 and 2014.
Other ministerial changes in between reshuffles (e.g. resignation of Ben Wallace) were not reshuffles, just filling vacancies.
A reshuffle will be announced by the Prime Minister’s office and involves ministers walking up Downing Street in front of the cameras (including those remaining in current posts). Also, media sources will call it a reshuffle.
The Cabinet reshuffle article is also useful. I spotted a couple of errors so corrected this. A new prime minister appointing their first cabinet is not considered a reshuffle.
The Starmer ministry article shows two cabinets (2024-2025 and 2025-present). Hence, 2026 ministerial changes were not a reshuffle.
Hope this helps. Simon373737 (talk) 10:55, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I should have said 2014-2015 Cabinet above. Changes after general election are not reshuffles either. Simon373737 (talk) 11:01, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The difference between this and Starmer is that Cameron's move were deliberate sacking, demotion, and pushing out of certain cabinet members. Starmer's moves were in response to resignations that he did not ask for. Also, the reception of Andy Burnham in Parliament and his easy victory in the Makerfield by-election show his power in the ability to pressure Starmer to resign and cabinet members to leave. Hence Starmer's moves are not a reshuffle in the traditional sense. I could see an argument for merging with the Cameron-Clegg coalition article but I'm not sure that's necessary here.

Propose a merge to Minecraft as an WP:ATD for a non-notable topic. There is a lack of significant coverage about the site itself. As a WP:MERGEREASON, the overlap is fairly direct: the sourcing mentions in passing that Omniarchive is the repository of various builds of Minecraft that have been found, and it seems simple to briefly mention this in the main article without the need for a separate article (given version histories tend to fall afoul of typical subject matter in an article).

File:Félicien Kabuga.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Bremps (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

There might be a free image of him? In this webpage of the US State Dept., two photos of Kabuga are provided. The text when hovering over the image reads: "Date: 12/12/2016 Description: Felicien Kabuga - State Dept Image". The photos were obviously not taken in 2016, but if this is a State Dept image then it would be a US govt work and thus a public domain alternative. According to his article, the US govt (including the FBI) actually did spend resources trying to track him down and arrest him. However, I worry that these wanted images also could be outsourced third-party works tagged on with a default State Dept. credit. I would like to know other people's thoughts on whether the current non-free image on the article can be allowed or not in light of this. ―Howard🌽33 22:27, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

File:Chicago Bulls logo.svg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Opertinicy (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

This was originally nominated under the theory that this logo was public domain but was closed as no consensus (IMO the evidence provided by 999real was more than enough but whatever). There is ample evidence that this logo is public domain. A look through various ebay listings shows that ticket stubs for Bulls games did not have copyright notices:

Therefore, this logo is public domain. However, as pointed out at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2026 June 7#File:National Basketball Association logo.svg, the vectorization of the logo likely has a separate copyright. Therefore, this file should be deleted, and a raster version (or a free vectorization, if it can be found or made) should be uploaded on Commons in its place.

Critics of Israel by religion

[edit]
Nominator's rationale:
  • WP:CATDEFINE: Categorization must be based on defining characteristics. Religion is not a defining characteristic of political opposition to a state unless that religious identity is the explicitly stated, primary motivation for that opposition, as established by reliable secondary sources.
  • WP:NOR: Populating these categories requires editors to synthesize an individual's religion and their political stance. This constitutes original research/synthesis by implying a causal link ("These people are critics because they are [Religion]") that is not supported by secondary sources.
  • WP:OVERCAT: These categories are currently tagged as Template:Non-diffusing subcategory of Category:Anti-Zionists. As they do not diffuse the parent category and offer no unique navigational utility, they are redundant and serve only as associative "tags."
  • WP:BLPCAT: Categorizing living persons by intersecting sensitive identity markers (religion) with political controversies is discouraged. The label "critic" is imprecise, lacks a clear inclusion criterion, and risks misrepresenting subjects.

Recommendation: Delete these categories. The existing parent category, Category:Anti-Zionists, is the appropriate and sufficient venue for grouping these subjects based on their documented political activities.

Terrorist incidents by decade

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with mostly only one subcategory. Follow-up after this earlier discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:40, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment By chance, I just left a message on Smasongarrison's User talk page because I was going through some of the terrorism categories for 1910 and found myself confused by how to distinguish between some of them in the big picture (see User talk:Smasongarrison#Terrorism_categories). For example, we have "political violence", "nationalist" and "right-wing" terrorist incidents that could be up for debate among editors. I'm really looking for some guidance so if you browse through our many categories on terrorism and terrorist incidents and you can find a way to make them less ambiguous, I'd welcome that. But not here, I didn't mean to start a new discussion here, just looking for experts on categories to weigh in elsewhere. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 21:20, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Superheroes who are adopted

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Since the previous attempt to delete the category did not reach consensus, I propose a rename to make the category more defining. It expands the scope to any adoptee characters from comics, who will still be almost entirely superheroes because most comics are about them. It's a virtual overlap. This will cause it to be removed from Category:Superheroes by type and added to Category:Comics characters instead. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 09:20, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
"who will still be almost entirely superheroes because most comics are about them. " American comics (excluding newspaper comics), not comics worldwide. Fram (talk) 10:52, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename since a-there are comics characters who are not superheros b-superhero is a subjective term. However we need to make sure this is a defining characteristic of the character, so it should be present in basically all the stories about them. I would suspect there is a story somewhere where Bruce Wayne got adopted by someone after his parents were killed, but that would not put him in this category.

Category:Sanamahist communities

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:DEFINING. Sanamahism is a religion, while the members of this category are ethnic groups. Religious affiliation is not a defining characteristic of these communities, nor are all members necessarily Sanamahist. The category is therefore non-defining and misleading per WP:CAT. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 06:57, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Keep : The category functions normally like other categories, Category:Buddhist communities, Category:Christian communities, Category:Donyi-Polo communities, Category:Hindu communities, Category:Jain communities, Category:Jewish communities, Category:Muslim communities, Category:Sikh communities, Category:Spiritualist communities, Category:Taoist communities, etc. Haoreima (talk) 10:43, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Haoreima@Marcocapelle See, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Per WP:DEFINING and WP:CAT, entire ethnic groups cannot be placed into a religious category. Pluralistic ethnic populations are defined by ancestry and culture, not a single uniform faith. Unless a group is strictly of that religion (example articles can be sanamahism in manipur, or some sanamahi religious organisation), this categorization is misleading. A religious category should contain specific religious organizations or topic articles, not general ethnic groups. You are using this category to list ethnic groups Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 14:31, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Haoreima@Marcocapelle leaving this aside, I do not know what the difference is between this and Category:Sanamahists. They probably should be merged. It appears to be the same kind of category. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 18:04, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is actually a very good point. In sibling categories it has the meaning of populated places or ethnic groups with a majority- (or sometimes even minority-) population who have that certain religious belief. But that is not the case with the articles in this category. So based on that we can easily conclude on merging this one after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:32, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Aquatic superheroes

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Just a bunch of loosely related superheroes who revolve around water in some way. As the characters are already in Category:Fictional characters with water abilities if merited, the category can just be deleted as overly vague. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 06:10, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional underwater divers

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Being divers is not defining for Betty or Veronica. When those and the various redirects or miscategorizations are removed, there are too few members to support a category, as it boils down to a couple of GI Joe characters of unclear notability and a comics character who seems non-notable but can be upmerged to Category:Fictional competitive swimmers if necessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 05:55, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If non-aquatic characters are removed, it fails WP:NARROWCAT. It's also dubiously defining. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 04:03, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

McCornick

[edit]

No people with the surname "McCornick" are currently listed on McCormick, but it may be a plausible spelling/typo or variant. There is also a non-surname DABpage at McCormick.

There are two currently existing McCornicks on titles on Wikipedia - McCornick Building and McCornick, Utah - should this be a DAB for them? Are the spellings close enough for this to redirect to one of the McCormick dab pages, and which one? ScalarFactor (talk) 22:48, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As the page creator, I realize it should probably be redirected to McCornick, Utah. On matters of the surname, McCornick, the town, was actually named after a man with the surname, which proves its existence somewhat. It is also testified here: https://en.geneanet.org/surnames/MCCORNICK whose source is the Dictionary of American Family Names by Patrick Hanks. Wheatley2 (speak to me) (watch me) 22:51, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Redirecting with a hatnote for McCornick Building (and a {{distinguish}} for McCormick, potentially) seems sensible to me. ScalarFactor (talk) 23:21, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Tatty

[edit]

Original rationale of creator was {{R from incorrect spelling}} of Tattie, which is tagged as {{R from alt lang}} for Scots Language. Most search results I see online for "Tatty" are the dictionary definition (Collins), and this could just as easily be a nickname for a Tattoo. Could delete, DABify, or turn into a soft redirect to Wiktionary. ScalarFactor (talk) 16:57, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I think disambiguating or redirecting to wiktionary works

Prince of Wales's 2nd Brigade, Eastern Division, Royal Artillery

[edit]

These redirects seem to refer to the same unit. If so, they should probably target the same place. I assume "Norfolk Artillery Militia" would be the more specific target (assuming it is part of the Norfolk Militia?) but the nomenclature of British artillery units baffles me, so checking with others. Mdewman6 (talk) 07:23, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The second version (Prince of Wales's Own 2nd Brigade, Eastern Division, Royal Artillery) is the correct one: it was the official title of the unit 1882-1887 (see Norman Litchfield, The Militia Artillery 1852–1909). The first version omitting 'Own' is incorrect and could be removed. The first version redirects to the specific section in the article, which seems to be the normal procedure with military units that had several different titles during their history.Rickfive (talk) 10:28, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Homestuck characters mentioned in passing without dedicated headers

[edit]

Various characters mentioned in passing without dedicated headers; those headers were probably removed during a cleanup in the past.

Sea mulberry

[edit]

Common name not used in reliable sources for the target species.

I was able to find the common name "sea mulberry" used in academic sources (via Google Scholar) for several taxa: Cudrania tricuspidata, Conocarpus erectus, Ceratophyllum species, Sonneratia caseolaris or other Sonneratia species. It does not seem to be an especially widely used common name for any of these taxa, but at any rate, the current target is not appropriate.

Shy Guy colors

[edit]

Currently targeted to Mario (franchise) § Major characters, where shy guy is not mentioned. Could either retarget to List of Mario franchise enemies § Shy Guy or delete, as no mentions of any alternate colors are made there, which may be misleading. ScalarFactor (talk) 03:32, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Both fine suggestions. I lean retarget, since I think the colors of Shy Guy are immaterial, so the main info about Shy Guy suffices. Dingolover6969 (talk) 05:45, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The entry says "A timid masked creature wearing a robe, which comes in many different colors and variations", which sort of covers all of the colors, if you think about it. Dingolover6969 (talk) 05:47, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to List of Mario franchise enemies#Shy Guy, clearly a minor character with info in the correct place, so targeting to the anchor makes sense.

M6 rocket

[edit]

there are two main issues here

  • the rocket is only mentioned in passing, in a context that suggests that it's mentioned elsewhere as an unreliable piece of shit handed off to soldiers more likely to spawncamp themselves than to know what a weapon is
  • if it's to be defined somewhere, it wouldn't be here, so this isn't a particularly good target
  • it's a vague as fr*ck name, being used to refer to seemingly multiple types of rockets that go boom (which don't seem to be exclusive to use in bazookas), rockets that take people to the one place not corrupted by capitalism... SPACE! and i guess a lego piece
  • despite having found a good few results for the specific m6 rocket that was jammed into bazookas, i could only find passing mentions. the only ones that had anything more than raw info were usually in the context of "what the fuck were they doing", which is pretty funny

yes, that's two, don't question it~ consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 11:43, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a problem. The section covers M6 rockets. I'm not an expert but from this section and a brief Google these "m6 rockets" seem to be bazooka rockets. If there are other M6 rockets that need to be covered maybe it could get a dab... Dingolover6969 (talk) 12:51, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
this part isn't important to note due to the aforementioned context of the passing mention issues, but #world war ii mentions them in (relatively) more detail in the same article, so it would already be a better target
more importantly, mentions of m6 rockets (specifically m6, not the improved versions) in wikipedia seem to be primarily about the lvm3-m6 (which was not itself the rocket), with some more passing ones about m6 rocket bags (which are not themselves rockets), such as in isro and m18 recoilless rifle respectively
mentions outside of wikipedia were similarly torn between different sources related to lvm3-m6 and assorted rocket-related stuff used in wars that had the code "m6" for whatever reason, veering more towards the former, suggesting that the rocket used there might be the primary topic for the term? at this point, though, i'm actually still a little unwilling to suggest retargeting there, as the rocket itself isn't mentioned in too much detail aside from "it's an lvm3"
on an even less important note, there were also a few results related to golf clubs, like whatever this is, but a lego piece was funnier to note consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 13:46, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
there's also m6, which is already a dab that could potentially cover this redirect, but without a detailed enough mention somewhere, it's better off left off consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 13:50, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Consarn: please can you tone down the attempted humour in your RfD noms, I have no idea what soldiers more likely to spawncamp themselves than to know what a weapon is is intended to mean and I can't work out whether it is actually relevant to this redirect or not. Your third bullet would be just as informative and much easier to understand with about half the words. Your goal should be to convey your point as clearly as possible not to be entertaining. Thryduulf (talk) 12:59, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    wikt:spawn camp is relevant here. the gist of it is that the soldiers burdened with those rockets generally didn't have the training to properly handle said rockets. it's probably good to make it a little clearer that those mentions of the rockets themselves were also in passing, usually more focused in the aforementioned context of the soldiers' poor training and the conflicts in which they were thrown, that there were no more than two of said passing mentions per accessible source, and that this also applies to the sources that only mentioned them as raw info (that is, just listing them among the supplies they had) consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 13:14, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as is, I do not see an issue here, and I disagree that it is mentioned in passing: The M6 seems to have been a step in the development of bazooka rockets, which is appropriately explained in this section. I do not find the nomination statement very clear in general, so I also do not see a preferable alternative to what I think is currently a satisfactory target.

Sea mushroom

[edit]

This is a common name that is not used to refer to the target species in reliable sources. It was included in the target article (having been added by a a temp account without an apparent source) until I removed it earlier today. A google search for "sea mushroom" pulls results for several unrelated taxa that might be colloquially referred to by that term including aquatic/marine fungi (which typically do not form mushroom-like fruiting bodies) and marine animals such as corals and jellies with mushroom-like appearances. Ethmostigmus 🌿 (talk | contribs) 08:05, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I only realised after nominating this redirect that the user who created it (and is now blocked) also created several other similarly made-up common name redirects for marine life. Most of these fake common names are present within the target article... but were recently added by rather suspicious single-edit temp accounts without any sources and probably ought to be removed. I would appreciate any help verifying these and cleaning them up where necessary. Ethmostigmus 🌿 (talk | contribs) 08:42, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Goes to Washington

There's no good reason to have a redirect for one of the 20 partial title matches. Partial title matches are discouraged in general. Danbloch (talk) 15:59, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Duke Nukem isn't the name of a band, but while we're on the subject...what's your opinion of the Land of the Babes redirect? -- Tavix (talk) 20:51, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
dude dudem not being a band doesn't matter too much here, seeing as it would then still have the same issue of things other than duki nuki foreba also having "forever" as a subtitle or part of the title. same case here, and judging by views and results, this seems to be on the less likely half for this shortening, being somewhere above the girls: sappho goes to hollywood, but below mooch goes to hollywood, and definitely above the aforementioned movie by a shot long enough that it would've caught up to some certain people's egos count dante
if you want to be strict about this being a subtitle (or something close enough), then this would contend with spot goes to hollywood, mother goose goes hollywood, and garfield goes hollywood, and seemingly only be more likely than that last one. i'm not really aware of any rules that would give bands special privilege in this area, but if there are none, the remaining two alone would make this vague
as for that redirect, i can't say i think too much of it myself, but it would almost definitely be kept here. it's the only thing this name is associated with on wikipedia, and results that didn't involve randy pitchford's punching bag were unnotable books (all of which were ptms), a passing mention of one of said books in an article about the author's coworker's crimes against fashion, and a fanfic posted to... reddit. why consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 22:59, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Tavix. This is an entirely plausible search term for the target article because it is not common for the name of a band to be included as part of the title of one of their albums. When it is so included we have redirects from the non-band name portion of the title (unfortunately all the examples I can think of off the top of my head are ambiguous). Thryduulf (talk) 21:33, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not voting yet, but use of "Goes to Washington" by itself looks extremely sparse. There were only 10 results for googling "the Goes to Washington". (This is contrast to over a hundred thousand results for "the Land of the Babes", the example Tavix gave above.) Out of the 10 results was "The Devil Goes to Washington" with "Devil" being removed for whatever reason on Singaporean Amazon, a comment referring to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as "the Goes to Washington film", and a discussion referring to Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band Goes to Washington as "the 'Goes to Washington' album". There is also a forum comment referring to "Goes to Washington" as a memorable part of Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington. The rest contained bad grammar, potentially intending "that goes to Washington". That said, a blog, a personal website, and a forum are not reliable sources. Mathguy2718 (talk) 22:36, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The keep votes above are wholly unconvincing with some really tortured reasoning. This is not the name of the album, obscure as it is, and it's not particularly plausible that anyone would search for it like this, AND that even if such a search failed, that they wouldn't be able to pick out what they were looking for in search results, or simply amend the search. It would be bad enough on its own, but as already pointed out, there are a bunch of other works with this as a suffix, rendering this extremely ambiguous to boot. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:45, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Neither of the keep !votes have plausibly disputed the nominator's rationale that this is a partial title match by which the album is not commonly referred to as. And, as other users have noted, there are a significant number of PTMs for this phrase. Leaving this phrase open for readers to search seems best here. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 00:18, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per all. There's nothing special with the target title; if it was Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band's Goes to Washington or Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band - Goes to Washington, the title argument would have made some sense. Jay 💬 08:33, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    J947's argument is new, and I would support it if a disambiguation is plausible, especially since the nomination did say no PTMs. Jay 06:14, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate at this title. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington has inspired a lot of media that end with these three words, not just this album. It's not some arbitrary PTM; it's a long-running gimmick. See Mr. Smith Goes to Washington#In popular culture for some examples; unfortunately, it doesn't list all the title matches. I know search results do a good job of listing that. And I'm fully aware of WP:PTM. However, I think there's enough, potentially 40-odd entries, to justify something halfway between a dab page and a set index article. I imagine there's some sources commenting on this pattern, which would strengthen my recommendation, but they're difficult to find. J947edits 00:34, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Quicken Loans

[edit]

I am an employee of Quicken Loans and have a disclosed conflict of interest. I am nominating this existing redirect for discussion because the corporate and legal structure has changed significantly since the 2021 rebrand, when the redirect was initially introduced. Currently, "Quicken Loans" operates as a home loan marketplace licensed to LMB Mortgage Services (#167283), while "Rocket Mortgage" (the redirect target) is a direct lender (NMLS #3030) This can be verified on the NMLS website - https://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org/EntityDetails.aspx/COMPANY/167283 These are now distinct entities with separate business models and regulatory licenses. Maintaining the redirect misleads readers by implying they are the same company. I request that the redirect be removed so that the Quicken Loans page may be brought up to speed with it's current status. Argruber (talk) 19:41, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for now. We don't seem to have an article about the current incarnation of "Quicken Loans", so the current target is the best we have. If you think that the new company licensed to use the name meets the corporate notability guidelines, you could draft a new article and propose it at AfC, as suggested at WP:COIEDIT. Only then could we consider retargeting the redirect. Rosbif73 (talk) 08:22, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @Rosbif73 - Thank you for the feedback. I was actually hoping that instead of the other company getting its own article, that the Quicken Loans page just become a stub article. The article could still contain a redirect to Rocket Mortgage. Proposed Language for the stub article would be:
    Quicken Loans is an online financial marketplace operated by LMB Mortgage Services (NMLS #167283), a subsidiary of Rocket Companies. Founded in 1999 as a direct lender, the brand transitioned its direct lending operations to Rocket Mortgage in 2021. In 2023, the brand was separated into its current structure as a home loan marketplace, no longer acting as a direct lender.
    Sources for this are the NMLS website listed above. If needed, I can provide other sources as well. Your assistance is greatly appreciated Argruber (talk) 20:45, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • RfD isn't the right venue for this discussion: any editor can boldly transform the Quicken Loans redirect into an article – but given your COI I'd suggest making an {{edit COI}} request at the redirect's talk page. Rosbif73 (talk) 06:42, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    That is true. Dingolover6969 (talk) 08:44, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    It seems like both editors above have the same idea, which also seems like the right one to me: make a new article for Quicken Loans itself, if it is WP:NOTABLE. The standard way to do this seems to be for User:Argruber to go through the WP:AfC process. Or maybe Wikipedia:PROPSPLIT. Note that you will need to understand WP:RS, slippery as it is. The NMLS website seems to be just a database listing which isn't enough to support an article, so I'm hopeful about your other sources.
    I've now read Talk:Rocket_Mortgage. Argruber, what if Quicken Loans targetted Rocket Mortgage#Quicken Loans? Adding info to just that section might be less of a quixotic task.
    Honestly reading the current Rocket Mortgage page is pretty confusing, because various things rebrand to be other things so many times. Dingolover6969 (talk) 08:35, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dingolover6969 thank you so much for that feedback. Yes, its is very confusing! I don't think that Quicken Loans, as it is now, would be considered WP:NOTABLE. I like the recommendation to go to the Rocket Mortgage #Quicken Loans section. As you will have seen in the Talk:Rocket_Mortgage section, I wasn't very successful at getting anything through that way. It may be helpful to have another editor help with the proposals.
    Primarily, another bullet should be added to the Quicken Loans History section:
    • In 2023, Rocket Mortgage licensed the brand name Quicken Loans to LMB Mortgage Services (NMLS #167283)
    The other suggestion is to change the opening paragraph. Rather than saying "formerly Quicken Loans" a new sentence could be added at the end of the paragraph. The justification would be that in it's current state, it can read that Quicken Loans is an American mortgage lender, which is no longer true. If we change it to the end, to say "Previously, Rocket Mortgage operated under the brand name Quicken Loans, LLC. it removes confusion for users and LLMs.
    Any guidance/assistance with these requests is really appreciated. Argruber (talk) 17:33, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Adjust target to eponymous section. As long as there is no separate article there is no reason to redirect to any other page; I would have boldly targeted to the section if there was not an active discussion open, because I do not think this is controversial.

Template:Chinese

[edit]

There is a move discussion taking place to rename {{lang-zh}} to {{Chinese}}, but this redirect currently points to {{infobox Chinese}} and has nearly 4k transclusions. Procedurally I believe an RFD is required to nuke the redirect before a discussion about renaming the template can be considered, though I have no opinions on the request itself.

I suppose the question to be asked: is this redirect a reasonable alternate name for the infobox? Primefac (talk) 18:41, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Snowman304|talk 01:08, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Arguing for consistency with templates that no longer exist is rather novel...as is pointing out that Infobox Chinese follows a standardized format, while opposing the removal of a redirect inexplicably outside of that standardized format. Toadspike [Talk] 17:32, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Toadspike, it's not the templates that no longer exist, it's the templates that weren't deleted. Primefac (talk) 10:03, 6 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That makes more sense, thanks. I still don't find it a compelling argument, though. Those templates are very different from this one – Chinese is the only one to have a bespoke module, and none of the others come close to covering a dozen or two dialects and romanization systems, plus a bunch of other languages. Toadspike [Talk] 18:16, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It would certainly make a bunch of page histories/versions look rather weird even after replacing the transclusions, though I suppose that is also relatively normal with various template changes... 1234qwer1234qwer4 01:32, 6 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There were also appropriation acts in all years of the Northern Ireland parliament, from the 1920s to the 1970s. What's special about these that there should be a redirect? For that matter, the are been 106 Appropriation Acts on the Irish Statute Book. Why need is there for redirect targets for a routine piece of legislation. They add clutter to categories, where there's no realism to a possible expansion. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 20:05, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Why would they need expansion? The entire article explains what an appropriation act is, and is therefore a valid place to direct someone who looks up one of these specific pieces of legislation. They are, effectively, synonyms or members of the class that the article deals with as a whole.
This is absolutely standard practice: redirecting lots of similar items to a joint article.
That there might be other possible examples which haven’t got redirects currently, doesn’t mean these aren’t valid.

Delete or Merge into {{Glitch Productions}}. Per WP:NAVBOX, navigation templates are intended to connect a robust network of existing, closely related mainspace articles. Currently, this template only links to the parent article and a single episode article ("Remember"). The remaining links are for voice actors, crew, and the production studio, all of which are already comprehensively covered by the parent {{Glitch Productions}} template. Creating a standalone navbox for only two distinct show-specific articles causes unnecessary fragmentation. If more individual episode or character drafts pass AfC in the future, a dedicated navbox can be reconsidered at that time. Per the guideline text on WP:NAVBOX, navigation footers don't render for the ~70% of readers on mobile devices, making micro-templates with minimal link density functionally useless for navigation. A standard category or inline "See also" link is much more appropriate here until a larger cluster of distinct mainspace articles is established. ChPo ^_^ (talk) 05:12, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Template:Glitch Productions – Agreed with ChPo and ConeKota, as this template should be deleted, however primarily merge into the Glitch Productions template, as The Amazing Digital Circus, is obviously already categorised, in the Glitch Productions template, however, merging The Amazing Digital Circus template, with the Glitch Productions template, should categorise Remember, into a seperate "Episodes" section, in the Glitch Productions template, alongside with adding actors/employees into the Glitch Productions template, which are mentioned in The Amazing Digital Circus template, however not the Glitch Productions template.

With, at best, two good faith voters supporting redirect, there is not a quorum to do so and the article should be restored. The presence of keep votes makes NC the best option.

I'd be inclined to Vacate the AfD and allow anyone to un-redirect without this discussion being labeled as consensus, but at the same time I would be hesitant to spontaneously un-redirect it ourselves, as a lot may have happened since the article was first redirected. Also, I really don't like the naming of the two articles and am almost positive a better naming convention could be established with community discussion that we're not going to hold here at DRV.

    I initially just un-redirected the article myself, then discovered the DRV process and thought that seemed like the more proper route, so self-reverted. Happy to do it myself if DRV is deemed unnecessary. Popcornfud (talk) 22:36, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
