While there has been a substantial amount of work done since this was draftified previously, the references are not useful in verifying notability.

Standard example of WP:TOOSOON. Proposed cosmology structure based upon a single article which was accepted for publication in January 2025 (a week or two ago), plus a writeup in a popular science magazine (Smithsonian Magazine) a few days ago. No secondary sources, work is far too new to have been analyzed by the wider community. Article was draftified, pointing out that Wikipedia is not for recent proposals or neologisms, only for established science with secondary sources etc. Editor ignored draftification and moved back to main without any attempt to explain or generate a consensus. Wikipedia is a trailing indicator, not a leading indicator. Pages such as this belong on Facebook or similar until there is a body of secondary sources, not Wikipedia.

It appears that this stub might just contain all the information that exists about this person: i.e. that he was a German instrument maker and anarcho-syndicalist, he was born in 1864 and died in 1925, and that he was a member of the FVdG.

I went through the Google Scholar results[5] - which include 5 German language sources, 1 English language source and 1 Portuguese language source, as well as 2 of Kleinlein's own (almost entirely uncited) books - and none of them provide significant coverage of this person; most of them provide only passing mentions, with barely even a sentence dedicated to him and no more information than what is already in this stub.

This article appears to fall very far from meeting our notability guidelines on people, and there doesn't appear to be anything worth merging into other articles. As an alternative to deletion, I could have recommended a redirect to Free Association of German Trade Unions#Pre-war period, but there are no mainspace links to this article other than that one so it would largely be a circular and redundant redirect. As such, I'm proposing this article for deletion. Grnrchst (talk) 13:39, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article should be deleted because it is essentially an extension of Conservatism in China article and does not warrant a separate entry. Neoauthoritarianism is referring to the conservative ideology within the PRC, making it more appropriate as a section within the broader article rather than a standalone page.

John Cochran (Survivor contestant) (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)

Reading the prior nomination on him, the "keep" votes were based on (presumed notability of) other existing Survivor winners (until recent years of AFD noms on certain winners).

This discussion isn't about the article quality. Rather it's about this person's general notability and any other sort of (applicable) notability thereof. He might or might not, but most of the sources used significantly covered him as the winner of Survivor: Caramoan, especially one EW article of winners list and a university's article about alumni and a CBS magazine article.

A recap article by EW details his cameo appearance in Survivor: Game Changers, but then that's just a recap article, despite the magazine being highly reputable. (BTW, the author of the article has expressed his opinions in other articles.)

I'm kinda cautious about using an ABA Journal article to verify his notability. The source was probably promoting his then-upcoming interview, which is a primary source, one of which to never use to verify this person's notability per GNG. (Will describe some other sources soon.)

I don't wanna argue with others back and forth similar to the other AFD discussion. Nonetheless, I fear similar arguments made in that discussion would be inevitable.

As said in that discussion, if WP:BLP1E isn't applicable to you, then how about WP:BIO1E instead, WP:NBASIC, WP:PAGEDECIDE, and/or WP:BIOSPECIAL? Furthermore, WP:BLP should also apply. Indeed, I'm not confident (yet) about his notability for his Survivor: South Pacific gameplay and its compliance with the BLP policy itself.

Sure, his roles in Survivor have been significant, but his amount of major roles IMO hasn't come close to meeting WP:NACTOR. Well, he's been a post-Survivor television writer, but whether he meets WP:NAUTHOR isn't the main issue. Rather WP:NBASIC and WP:BIOSPECIAL should supersede his (non-)compliance with WP:NAUTHOR.

Tried to find reliable sources verifying his (general) notability, but I can't use this questionnaire answered by the article subject himself. Entertainment Now cites IMDB, which is an unreliable (user-generated) source. I'm uncertain whether to use this profile page either. I can say the same about this source, which is citing (if not reporting) the same EW questionnaire that I wouldn't use.

Almost forgot: The page should be redirect to his winning season, Survivor: Caramoan. George Ho (talk) 08:39, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not meet the general notability guideline due to the fact that the article subject lacks coverage in reliable, independent sources. The article's content is not verified by reliable, independent sources, and instead the article relies upon primary sources of dubious authenticity that seem to be produced by the article subject’s own organization. Even if the sources were authentic, we have no way of accessing them, and therefore there is no way of knowing whether or not they even verify what is contained in the article.

Sources are independant and confirm the notability in a verifiable and traceable manner (WP:RS) (WP:V). Hence this topic has no self-promotion inherent and meets encyclopedic standards (WP:NOT)

• Comment: while the article has undergone an expansion and more citations have been added to it, multiple references within the article do not look reliable. For example, Tazkare Khwanadane Hazrat Eshan published by a company that is part of the organization which the article subject is a member of- the Naqshbandi order or Naqshbandiyya, and E. J. W. Gibb Memorial by Nicholson, Reynold. The other sources need to be evaluated- they need to be reliable, independent and non-primary sources. Then, the article should be cleaned up, and any content attributed to unreliable or otherwise inappropriate sources should be removed.

Response to Deletion Nomination: Emmanuel Alade

I respectfully oppose the proposed deletion of the Emmanuel Alade article. The subject meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for creative professionals, as evidenced by the following:

1. Significant Coverage in Reliable Sources: BusinessDay featured an article detailing how Emmanuel Alade is creating platforms for young African creatives, highlighting his impact on the African entertainment industry. [6]

Vanguard News reported on Alade's involvement in the Black Excellence Project, emphasizing his contributions to empowering young black individuals in the field of architecture. [7]

2. Independent and Reputable Sources: The coverage comes from established and reputable news outlets, ensuring the information is both reliable and independent of the subject.

3. Impact and Recognition: Alade's initiatives, such as founding Afrobeatsglobal and Uncut Xtra Magazine, have been instrumental in promoting African music and culture, providing platforms for emerging artists. [8]

His participation in the Black Excellence Project showcases his commitment to mentoring and developing young talents in architecture and related fields. [9]

4. Professional Achievements: As an architect, Alade has contributed to notable projects, including the Eblana project in Dublin and the Abbey Street Project, demonstrating his professional expertise. [10]

Request for Article Improvement: I am committed to enhancing the article by:

• Incorporating additional third-party reliable sources.
• Expanding on his architectural works and entrepreneurial ventures.
• Ensuring the content adheres to Wikipedia's neutrality and verifiability standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waleayanda (talk • contribs) 08:03, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Given that I see no specific guideline for alphabetical characters, one could fall back to WP:GNG; however it seems to me it would fail short of this peculiar subject. WP:5P1 states "Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers." Considering alphabetical characters as notable per se seems to me consistent with this description. I have no qualms however with a merge to e.g.Kha (Cyrillic).--cyclopia^speak! 15:32, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Kha (Cyrillic). The article is quite short and this letter does not seem to warrant its own article. I also can only find Wikipedia mirrors and Unicode documents mentioning anything about this character, but instead of deleting it, I think we could just merge it into Kha (Cyrillic) with a short summary of its existence in Aleut. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 16:40, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Could find no reliable and significant coverage in independent sources. 1)-Attempts to argue semantics, that there is no "notabiliny (sic) guideline for letters" is laughable as the verifiability covers content in articles like a blanket. The Wikipedia:Notability "policy" includes: Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Merging: I do not merge unsourced content. It degrades the target article and it might be hard to convince an Admin to merge unsourced content. There is no way to tell if original research is involved which could enter areas of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.

Keep – If a user doesn’t know Persian or how to simply translate a Persian page to English with Google Translate, it doesn’t make all the Persian references unusable or unreasonable. The Persian references in this article come from the most reasonable, reliable, mainstream, and important news sites in the Persian language, some of which have more than 70 years of experience. The English references are not mainstream, but most of them are reliable and rational or at least secondhand, if not firsthand. Having problems with references doesn’t make the whole subject worthy of deletion; rather, adding more reliable references would be more reasonable.

He stills fails WP:AUTHOR, as none of his work in the bibliography is notable. jolielover♥talk 03:30, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to differ. The entire underground comix movement was designed to change people's perceptions of what stories were "worth" telling in the comics format, so many products of that era fail a mainstream definition of "notablity". Nonetheless, the material produced during that era changed the comics industry forever, heralding the alternative comics movement and the rise of the graphic novel. That history has been well established. DiCaprio's role during that time as a writer, publisher, editor, and distributor is also well-established. Not to mention that he collaborated with such "notable" artists as Justin Green and Jay Kinney, and contributed to anthologies such as Arcade and Slow Death. -- stoshmaster (talk) 16:32, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough independent sources. Some sources are directly from The Private Eye Project or from Kerry Ruef, its founder.

• The Ed.uab.edu source is from attendees of a Private Eye talk.
• The Stone and Barlow book is a collection of essays including one by Ruef about Private Eye.
• The Microscopy Today source is an article by Ruef.

Other sources just briefly mention Private Eye as something that exists. One is a defunct storefront. The only independent sources that have something notable to say about Private Eye are the WBHM article and possibly the book by Robert Bernstein, which I don't have. There isn't enough here to write a neutral article. Truthnope (talk) 02:21, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Defunct American Basketball Association (2000-present) team that fails WP:GNG, many of the sources have faded away, the only spurce I could possibly find is by the ABA official website. Google only yields this Wikipedia page and a Fandom page also with no reliable sources.

A superficially nice article about a regional artist with no claim of notability. Weak citations, a few small awards, and no evidence of impact or reputation to support WP:NARTIST (e.g., "has been recognized for" links to his own site and a gallery that doesn't suport the claim). Two instructional books, no evidence of independent reviews, not a valid basis for WP:NAUTHOR. I did WP:BEFORE searches and I was unable to find anything additional to support WP:GNG.

Although not strictly a grounds for deletion, the article has hallmarks of WP:NOTCV. The lengthy gallery in particular makes this looks like a promotional page. Oblivy (talk) 01:33, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NSOFT; no independent, significant coverage could be found. This article was originally about a non-notable project management application, but it appears to have been recently hijacked by a different software application also named "Plandora". Neither application meets WP:NSOFT so it should just be deleted. dePRODed in 2011 by the article's creator. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:29, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. I wasn't able to find SIGCOV for either of the pieces of software. The original subject has some passing mentions, mostly in older sources comparing different open source project management tools, but I wasn't able to find anything approaching SIGCOV. The new subject (the travel software) appears to be very clearly non-notable. MCE89 (talk) 03:38, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unsourced article about a television show. As always, television shows are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they existed, and have to show evidence of passing WP:GNG on third-party media coverage about them, but this cites absolutely no such coverage whatsoever.

Sourced by a wiki type site and contains too many unsourced statements that could be disputed. "He was a truthful and spotless king, and a follower of Buddha."

• Keep. The book topped the NYT non-fiction bestseller list [18]. Per WP:NBOOK, this in itself qualifies as a non-trivial published work about the book given that the bestseller list itself is notable, in addition to the fact that it is republished and reported on by other sources (e.g. [19] [20]). This article in the Washington Post qualifies as a second non-trivial published work about the book, and this op-ed in the New York Times is a third. I think those three sources are enough to meet WP:NBOOK criteria 1. There are also plenty of other sources that discuss ideas from the book in the context of Hegseth's confirmation, including [21] [22] [23] [24], and the book was directly referenced by Trump in announcing Hegseth as the nominee [25]. I think that's potentially enough to make a weak case for WP:NBOOK criteria 3 on the basis that the book played a significant role in a political movement/event (in this case, the right wing attacks on "DEI" and "wokeness" in the US military).
