| 2025-02-20 | The Shepherds Rest | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (A local pub, part of the large Greene King chain, that is relatively young (opened in 2000) and doesn't meet WP:NCORP. There are routine listings and pub reviews, but insufficient to establish notability. PROD contested with justification given (see Talk:The Shepherds Rest#Proposed Deletion Objection). Klbrain (talk) 18:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-22 | Toad Sweat | AfD (0 k, 6 d) (Individual item appears to lack notability, the article subject and author have a self declared COI and the article would require significant reworking to remove the peacock nature and significant souring requirements to bring in to line with the expected standard if is does meet notability Amortias (T)(C) 22:35, 22 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-24 | Cornitos (Indian brand of flavored tortilla chips) | AfD (1 k, 2 d) (The article comes across as highly promotional, with marketing blurbs, and seems to have been created by an undisclosed COI editor. It mainly uses interviews, press releases, and some questionable sources. The coverage from credible sources lacks depth and doesn't show enough to establish notability under NCORP. Chanel Dsouza (talk) 13:18, 24 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-24 | Paakashala (Restaurant in Karnataka, India) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (The article feels overly promotional, likely written by an undisclosed paid editor. While it is supposed to be about Adiga's second restaurant chain, most of the focus is on the founder and his first chain, which is named after him. Since the sources mainly discuss the founder, he seems more notable, and an article should be created about him instead of this chain. Chanel Dsouza (talk) 13:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-25 | Mint chocolate (Chocolate with mint flavoring) | AfD (2 k, 1 d) (2 relists) (WP:BEFORE in my assortment of chocolate books turned up nothing or mere mentions. No sigcov in Scholar, neither apparently in Books, TWL, JSTOR, Google, NYT archives. Lot of mentions of Mint chocolate chip, although it isn't an appropriate merge or redirect target.

| 2025-02-20 | Udit Goenka | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Fails WP:SIGCOV. Most of the references cited in the article revolve around a single tweet he made in the Bangalore vs. Gurgaon debate regarding the better place for tech companies. These sources primarily cover the controversy rather than his personal achievements or sustained impact in his field. Herinalian (talk) 19:35, 20 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-20 | Gurhan Kiziloz (British businessman) | AfD (2 k, 2 d) (Fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, as most references focus on Lanistar and its FCA issues rather than him. The article also suffers from REFBOMB, creating a false sense of notability. With no in-depth, independent coverage about him, it fails to meet the inclusion criteria.

Seems like an organized attempt to push the person onto Wikipedia. The sources provided did not allow to establish the person's notability. Cinder painter (talk) 08:33, 20 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-20 | AnyRoad (American software manufacturer) | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (Fails WP:NCORP. All sources about this company are either routine, not independent from the subject (such as interviews where employees talk about the company), and sometimes they are just blatant ads.

| 2025-02-21 | Play! Pokémon (The Pokémon Company division based in Bellevue, Washington) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (A division of the Pokémon Company that doesn't seem to be separately notable. I've been researching competitive Pokémon extensively and have searched this subject several times and found very little discussing them, even in passing mention. Nearly everything they do is already covered extensively at Pokémon World Championships as they act primarily as that event's organizers, and their organization of local events isn't covered at all from what I can find, bar one Inverse source discussing the role of "Pokémon Professors", which doesn't even mention Play! Pokémon at all. What little that is sourced in the article either hails from PRIMARY sources or unreliable ones, bar three sources, which are either ROUTINE coverage or TRIVIALMENTIONS, and what little mentions I could find on this topic do not seem to be enough to establish anything other than that the company exists and nothing more. Due to a lack of SIGCOV and the existence of only ROUTINE coverage or TRIVIALMENTIONS, it fails WP:NCOMPANY. I would argue for a Redirect to the World Championships, seeing as that article covers the bulk of what is in this one already while also acting as an associated topic.

Another user attempted to prod it again after its restoration, which was declined, but they never brought it to AfD. It may be worth pointing out that the obviously biased creator is a blocked sock. I see the article was also rather uncontroversially deleted from French Wikipedia a few years ago, slightly after the most recent prod attempt in enwiki (their notability guidelines seem about the same as ours), and it doesn't appear to have gotten any additional coverage since that discussion. — Anonymous 21:30, 22 February 2025 (UTC)) |

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".

As always, actors and models are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass certain specific markers of achievement supported by reliable source coverage -- but the attempted notability claim here is staked entirely on supporting or bit parts in films that don't even have Wikipedia articles about the films, and the article is sourced entirely to short blurbs and public relations fluff rather than substantive WP:GNG-worthy coverage. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:45, 8 February 2025 (UTC)) |

| 2025-02-26 | Evan Luthra (Indian tech developer) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (The article appears to be a **self-promotional piece** rather than an encyclopedic entry. The subject, Evan Luthra, does not meet Wikipedia’s **notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:ENTREPRENEUR)** as there is a **lack of reliable, independent secondary sources** that provide significant coverage. Most of the sources cited are **self-published, PR-driven, or affiliated with the subject**, failing WP:RS.
Additionally, this page was **previously nominated for deletion in 2018**, where it was found to lack verifiable independent coverage. The recreation of the article does not demonstrate a significant change in the sourcing or notability of the subject. Instead, it continues to serve as a **promotional page** aimed at building a personal brand rather than providing verifiable, neutral, and encyclopedic content. As per Wikipedia’s guidelines, articles that primarily exist for **self-promotion, lacking reliable sources, and failing notability criteria** should be deleted. Therefore, I propose this article for deletion. Spider1217 (talk) 07:09, 26 February 2025 (UTC)) |

A few major publications wrote about his podcast, but all around the same time when it first launched so it's basically all advertisements and not particularly substantial. His name also comes up in coverage of the end of Arthur because it was announced in an episode of the podcast, but none of the coverage is focused on him or the podcast.

As metaheuristic algorithms still continue to be introduced at a pace of (conservatively) dozens per year, this list is arbitrary in nature, which is another argument for not having it. For more context, there is an attempt to have such a listing elsewhere, also lagging behind the current state.

And if you look at the 2013 map, you'll see both "Board Park" and "Broad Park". So obviously the GNIS entry for the latter came from somewhere else besides the topos, and indeed it did: from an 1876 atlas. One has to wonder why nobody noticed that the two places are actually the same (and the "Board park" entry is still there in GNIS, though it is gone from the map), but it's clearly the case. And judging from our handy county history, the old atlas was right and the older topos were wrong, though it appears that the topo location is more accurate. After all that, though, it's still a nothingburger place: there's little there, and the history merely mentions it in passing to locate other places.

There are ten similar cases at AWSE, all short stubs concerning Olympic competitors who did not win medals. I haven't used AFD until now, and I've decided to nominate only one initially, as advised in WP:BUNDLE. Depending on how this one goes, I may then nominate the other ten.
This was a one-line stub based on statistical information at Olympedia. I'm not sure if that should be regarded as a reliable source. I found some extra information, although it is purely routine stuff about family and profession, so I've managed to expand it a little, but the only other sailing information I've got is the name of his club. As Bentley did not win a medal at the 1956 Games, the article fails WP:NOLYMPICS, and the lack of significant coverage overall fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. I should explain that, when I was reviewing the AWSE items earlier, I tagged numerous Olympic ones for notability and was going to leave it at that. I later realised that these eleven were created by a former editor who will not be able to take action, and so I decided to bring them to AFD. I think the two sorting lists I've selected are okay.

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.

As always, city councillors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- the only other current Saint John city councillor who does have an article previously served in the provincial legislature, and thus passes NPOL #1, while city councillors otherwise get articles only if they can show a credible reason why they should be seen as special cases of significantly greater notability than the norm for city councillors. That is, a city councillor doesn't just need to show personal life and career background, they need to show substantial and properly sourced evidence of their political impact — specific things they did, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their time on council had on the development of the city, evidence of nationalizing prominence, and on and so forth — but there's no content of that type here, and this is just written as background info on a city councillor who exists. Having previously been a non-winning candidate in a provincial election also isn't grounds for notability -- even at that level, the notability test for a politician still requires holding a seat in the legislature, not just running for one -- and notability is not inherited, so being the child of a previous mayor of the city isn't grounds for notability either. But the referencing here is a mixture of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all and the purely run of the mill local campaign and election-night coverage that every city councillor in every city can always show, which is not enough in and of itself. Existing as a city councillor is not enough for a Wikipedia article in and of itself, but this article is not evincing any reason why Mariah Darling would qualify as a special case over and above the rest of their council colleagues.

Most of the sources cited are **self-published, PR-driven, or affiliated with the subject**, failing WP:RS.
Additionally, this page was **previously nominated for deletion in 2018**, where it was found to lack verifiable independent coverage. The recreation of the article does not demonstrate a significant change in the sourcing or notability of the subject. Instead, it continues to serve as a **promotional page** aimed at building a personal brand rather than providing verifiable, neutral, and encyclopedic content.

| 2025-02-26 | Barrie Jones (Canadian Photographer) | AfD (2 k, 0 d) (WP:BLP of a photographer, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for artists. As always, artists are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party coverage about them in media -- for instance, you don't make an artist notable for gallery shows by sourcing them to the self-published websites of the galleries, you make an artist notable for gallery shows by sourcing them to media reportage (art reviews, etc.) treating the gallery shows as news. But this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources (the galleries, academic staff profiles, etc.) that aren't support for notability, except for one magazine article that briefly namechecks Barrie Jones as one participant in a group show, which is a valid start but not strongly enough about him to singlehandedly get him over GNG all by itself if it's the only non-primary source in the mix. Also this started life in draft form before being moved into mainspace by its creator without any form of AFC review, and has already been stripped of copyrighted content that was copy-pasted directly from one of his staff profiles. As well, the title is unnecessarily overdisambiguated — since none of the other people listed in the disambiguation page at Barrie Jones are photographers, just "photographer" would suffice and "Canadian photographer" is overdoing it — further suggesting that the creator lacks functional understanding of Wikipedia's rules and practices. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt Barrie Jones from having to have proper WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him and his work in real media.

It is therefore a primary source. 5. https://www.modernghana.com/movie/4032/3/munachi-abii-ready-for-music-career.html this source says that it hasn't been published yet? 6. https://pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/07/01/munachi-abii-steps-up-music-career/ this is a routine press announcement and doesn't cover a broad enough time frame to meet the definition of secondary. 7. https://web.archive.org/web/20160305183712/http://notjustok.com/2011/10/18/video-bet-hip-hop-awards-nigerian-cypher-2011-male-female/ This source is a press release about the BET awards. 8. https://www.pulse.ng/articles/entertainment/movies/5-memorable-moments-in-living-in-bondage-breaking-free-2024081706361058474 this source is a listicle consisting of brief film reviews but interestically, doesn't mention the article's subject. 9. https://thenationonlineng.net/finding-hubby-ade-laoye-kehinde-bankole-others-to-star-in-screen-adaptation/ this is a film review that again doesn't offer us any in-depth, well written, objective or critical insight into the subject's life. 10. https://punchng.com/mercy-aigbe-shaffy-bello-others-attend-premiere-of-obsession/ this is a fifty word article promoting a film. No in-depth coverage of the subject's life here. 11. https://web.archive.org/web/20191106212409/https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/munachi-abii-ex-beauty-queen-becomes-tv-presenter/yr3lt9m this is a routine press announcement promoting a TV show.

So unless there is some magical trove of secondary sources about this subject, I can't see how this article in its present form shows that they are notable. Somebody mentioned WP:BASIC my understanding of WP:BASIC is that while multiple independent sources can be combined to demonstrate notability those sources still need to be secondary, independent and reliable. I don't see how any of this page's sources are independent seeing as most are lifted from press releases. There are some interviews but interviews aren't secondary and while primary sources like interviews can be used to support some of an article's content in lieu of secondary sources they're meant to be a temporary measure until secondary sources become available. Whether this subject meets WP:ACTOR isn't clear from the sources and the purpose of an WP:SNG is to say, "yes there is probably enough, or will likely be enough about this subject for this stub-page to grow into a C or a B in the future." Therefore, WP:ACTOR isn't just a case of saying, well they've appeared in several films and TV shows so they unequivocally meet C1. Firstly, editors and the public need to be able to verify C1 for themselves so the page would still need some reliable sources to verify if WP:ACTOR is met. Moreover, there needs to be a reasonable chance that high-quality independent secondary sources exist so that the article can evolve over time. If a subject meets an SNG it doesn't mean that the page can be left as it is and it certainly doesn't mean that synthesis of primary material should be used to develop the page. GNG is still the objective. So how do these sources that I have lifted above show that this subjects meets any of the aforementioned general, basic or subject-specific notability?𝔓420°𝔓Holla 09:42, 23 February 2025 (UTC)) |

As always, films are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party coverage about them in media -- film reviews, evidence of noteworthy film awards, production coverage, that sort of thing. But the only footnotes here are an article about the director's death which briefly namechecks this film without being about the film in any non-trivial sense (and doesn't even support the statement about the film's postproduction that it's footnoting), a press release from the film's own production studio, and a short blurb that isn't substantive enough to get the film over GNG all by itself. Further, even though the film was released in 2017 according to IMDB and the dating of the footnotes agrees with that, the creator wrote about this as if it were an "upcoming" film slated for release in 2024 -- and although I've corrected that nonsense already, there are other statements here (some completely unsourced, and the postproduction claim that isn't supported by the director's obituary) that may also be in question if they can't be properly verified. (I've also had to remove two other footnotes that had nothing to do with this film at all, and were present solely to falsely assert, because of the misrepresented release date, that it would be a "posthumous" work for cast and crew who died after 2017.) As most coverage would likely be in Spanish, and the film actually came out long enough ago that the very low number of GNG-worthy Google hits might not be the whole story, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with good access to databases of Venezuelan media coverage from the 2010s can find enough solid sourcing to salvage it -- but especially given that the article contained significant falsehoods that just IMDb alone was able to smoke out, it really needs much better sourcing than it's got right now.

I can find no evidence that this film was ever actually aired on television. It's very possible that it was never seen as there are no reviews in media archives or in google news, google scholar, jstor, ebscoe, proquest, etc, and no sources naming when it aired or on what network.

| 2025-02-23 | List of pop music performers | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (List with subjective and arbitrary inclusion criteria. "Mainstream pop" is not a genre in its own right per se, but just a term which positively or negatively (depending on your perspective) distinguishes pop musicians who have succeeded in becoming famous from pop musicians who haven't -- for instance, there's no major stylistic difference between the music of Adele (who is here) and the music of Emeli Sandé (who isn't), Adele has just had more big international hits than Emeli Sandé has had, so the distinction between them hinges on fame rather than genre differences. So essentially this is just an arbitrary list of pop musicians that the page creator has heard of, rather than a list of people operating within the context of a clearly defined "genre". But if you restrict it to pop musicians who've achieved certain specific levels of fame, then it's based on invalid arbitrary inclusion criteria -- while without that restriction, anybody whose music fits into the parameters of "pop" at all could be added, making it indiscriminate. And the referencing here consists entirely of some (but not all) of the artists' AllMusic biographies, which genre-tag them as "pop" rather than "mainstream pop" and thus don't constitute support for a "mainstream pop vs. non-mainstream pop" distinction.

Superficial accolades and self-promotion shouldn't form the basis for a Wikipedia BLP. The overwhelming reliance on press releases, self-published notices (such as Aggie100.com), and local business media results in an article that reads more like a CV than an encyclopedic entry. The awards listed, while seemingly numerous, come largely from promotional or local sources, which raise questions about their substantive relevance and genuine impact. Also, some awards appear to be linked to organizations with potential conflicts of interest. The citations from Bloomberg and the Houston Business Journal, though reasonably reputable, fail to provide the depth of third-party analytical coverage required for notability. Given the heavy reliance on WP:PRIMARY SOURCES and promotional material, the article does not meet WP:NOTABILITY guidelines. In my WP:BEFORE search, I found nothing to improve the article.

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.

I've been researching competitive Pokémon extensively and have searched this subject several times and found very little discussing them, even in passing mention. Nearly everything they do is already covered extensively at Pokémon World Championships as they act primarily as that event's organizers, and their organization of local events isn't covered at all from what I can find, bar one Inverse source discussing the role of "Pokémon Professors", which doesn't even mention Play! Pokémon at all. What little that is sourced in the article either hails from PRIMARY sources or unreliable ones, bar three sources, which are either ROUTINE coverage or TRIVIALMENTIONS, and what little mentions I could find on this topic do not seem to be enough to establish anything other than that the company exists and nothing more. Due to a lack of SIGCOV and the existence of only ROUTINE coverage or TRIVIALMENTIONS, it fails WP:NCOMPANY.

| 2025-02-23 | Nesbit Bentley (Fijian sailor (1928–2019)) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (This came up at WP:AWSE and I'm nominating it because I think it fails the WP:GNG criteria. There are ten similar cases at AWSE, all short stubs concerning Olympic competitors who did not win medals. I haven't used AFD until now, and I've decided to nominate only one initially, as advised in WP:BUNDLE. Depending on how this one goes, I may then nominate the other ten.
This was a one-line stub based on statistical information at Olympedia. I'm not sure if that should be regarded as a reliable source. I found some extra information, although it is purely routine stuff about family and profession, so I've managed to expand it a little, but the only other sailing information I've got is the name of his club. As Bentley did not win a medal at the 1956 Games, the article fails WP:NOLYMPICS, and the lack of significant coverage overall fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. I should explain that, when I was reviewing the AWSE items earlier, I tagged numerous Olympic ones for notability and was going to leave it at that. I later realised that these eleven were created by a former editor who will not be able to take action, and so I decided to bring them to AFD. I think the two sorting lists I've selected are okay. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do. Spartathenian (talk) 16:09, 23 February 2025 (UTC)) |

I've been researching competitive Pokémon extensively and have searched this subject several times and found very little discussing them, even in passing mention. Nearly everything they do is already covered extensively at Pokémon World Championships as they act primarily as that event's organizers, and their organization of local events isn't covered at all from what I can find, bar one Inverse source discussing the role of "Pokémon Professors", which doesn't even mention Play! Pokémon at all. What little that is sourced in the article either hails from PRIMARY sources or unreliable ones, bar three sources, which are either ROUTINE coverage or TRIVIALMENTIONS, and what little mentions I could find on this topic do not seem to be enough to establish anything other than that the company exists and nothing more. Due to a lack of SIGCOV and the existence of only ROUTINE coverage or TRIVIALMENTIONS, it fails WP:NCOMPANY. I would argue for a Redirect to the World Championships, seeing as that article covers the bulk of what is in this one already while also acting as an associated topic.

To start with, the location is way off: when you go in the topos far enough back to where there is any detail, you can see that the label actually belongs to a point to the east at the head of the reservoir, where the dam lies and where the actual mill was. That reservoir turns out to be a major impediment, because it absorbs every attempt to search for the mill. Baker, however, provides the key here, for he identifies it as being the same place as "Hoosier Highlands", and he provides one other clue: he says it was "established as a recreational area". And this is strongly suggested by the topos, which show a closely spaced line of buildings along the river. And for once, searching by the real name of the place pulls up the WPA guide, which flatly refers to the place as a resort.

It is primarily an interview with some real gems like;
There is no way that this source is independent and therefore it cannot be used to verify notability. 2. https://punchng.com/why-i-switched-from-beauty-pageant-to-rap-music-munachi-abii/ another interview and therefore primary. 3. https://www.legit.ng/entertainment/nollywood/1540849-stunning-beauties-osas-ighodaro-4-nollywood-stars-beauty-queens-titles/ this source has a sexist title which I'd say rules it out off the bat. That said the article is just a listicle and doesn't offer us anywhere near the level of significant coverage that we need to verify general notability. 4. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/01/handing-over-a-relief-says-munachi-abii/ this source is an interview. It is therefore a primary source. 5. https://www.modernghana.com/movie/4032/3/munachi-abii-ready-for-music-career.html this source says that it hasn't been published yet? 6. https://pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/07/01/munachi-abii-steps-up-music-career/ this is a routine press announcement and doesn't cover a broad enough time frame to meet the definition of secondary. 7. https://web.archive.org/web/20160305183712/http://notjustok.com/2011/10/18/video-bet-hip-hop-awards-nigerian-cypher-2011-male-female/ This source is a press release about the BET awards. 8. https://www.pulse.ng/articles/entertainment/movies/5-memorable-moments-in-living-in-bondage-breaking-free-2024081706361058474 this source is a listicle consisting of brief film reviews but interestically, doesn't mention the article's subject. 9. https://thenationonlineng.net/finding-hubby-ade-laoye-kehinde-bankole-others-to-star-in-screen-adaptation/ this is a film review that again doesn't offer us any in-depth, well written, objective or critical insight into the subject's life. 10. https://punchng.com/mercy-aigbe-shaffy-bello-others-attend-premiere-of-obsession/ this is a fifty word article promoting a film. No in-depth coverage of the subject's life here. 11. https://web.archive.org/web/20191106212409/https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/munachi-abii-ex-beauty-queen-becomes-tv-presenter/yr3lt9m this is a routine press announcement promoting a TV show. Again, it doesn't really offer any biographical overview. 12. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/naija-fashion/429108-2020-bon-here-are-5-nominees-for-best-kiss-category.html?tztc=1 this is a nomination for "Best Kiss of 2020" again it doesn't really offer us anything in terms of biographical overview. So unless there is some magical trove of secondary sources about this subject, I can't see how this article in its present form shows that they are notable. Somebody mentioned WP:BASIC my understanding of WP:BASIC is that while multiple independent sources can be combined to demonstrate notability those sources still need to be secondary, independent and reliable. I don't see how any of this page's sources are independent seeing as most are lifted from press releases. There are some interviews but interviews aren't secondary and while primary sources like interviews can be used to support some of an article's content in lieu of secondary sources they're meant to be a temporary measure until secondary sources become available. Whether this subject meets WP:ACTOR isn't clear from the sources and the purpose of an WP:SNG is to say, "yes there is probably enough, or will likely be enough about this subject for this stub-page to grow into a C or a B in the future." Therefore, WP:ACTOR isn't just a case of saying, well they've appeared in several films and TV shows so they unequivocally meet C1. Firstly, editors and the public need to be able to verify C1 for themselves so the page would still need some reliable sources to verify if WP:ACTOR is met. Moreover, there needs to be a reasonable chance that high-quality independent secondary sources exist so that the article can evolve over time. If a subject meets an SNG it doesn't mean that the page can be left as it is and it certainly doesn't mean that synthesis of primary material should be used to develop the page. GNG is still the objective. So how do these sources that I have lifted above show that this subjects meets any of the aforementioned general, basic or subject-specific notability?𝔓420°𝔓Holla 09:42, 23 February 2025 (UTC)) |

Superficial accolades and self-promotion shouldn't form the basis for a Wikipedia BLP. The overwhelming reliance on press releases, self-published notices (such as Aggie100.com), and local business media results in an article that reads more like a CV than an encyclopedic entry. The awards listed, while seemingly numerous, come largely from promotional or local sources, which raise questions about their substantive relevance and genuine impact. Also, some awards appear to be linked to organizations with potential conflicts of interest. The citations from Bloomberg and the Houston Business Journal, though reasonably reputable, fail to provide the depth of third-party analytical coverage required for notability. Given the heavy reliance on WP:PRIMARY SOURCES and promotional material, the article does not meet WP:NOTABILITY guidelines. In my WP:BEFORE search, I found nothing to improve the article.

| 2025-02-21 | Broad Park, Indiana (Former village in Indiana, United States) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (Here we come upon an impressive cock-up at USGS, because if you look at old enough topos to have any details, you will not see this label, but you will see an area just to the north labelled "Board Park". And if you look at the 2013 map, you'll see both "Board Park" and "Broad Park". So obviously the GNIS entry for the latter came from somewhere else besides the topos, and indeed it did: from an 1876 atlas. One has to wonder why nobody noticed that the two places are actually the same (and the "Board park" entry is still there in GNIS, though it is gone from the map), but it's clearly the case. And judging from our handy county history, the old atlas was right and the older topos were wrong, though it appears that the topo location is more accurate. After all that, though, it's still a nothingburger place: there's little there, and the history merely mentions it in passing to locate other places.

To start with, the location is way off: when you go in the topos far enough back to where there is any detail, you can see that the label actually belongs to a point to the east at the head of the reservoir, where the dam lies and where the actual mill was. That reservoir turns out to be a major impediment, because it absorbs every attempt to search for the mill. Baker, however, provides the key here, for he identifies it as being the same place as "Hoosier Highlands", and he provides one other clue: he says it was "established as a recreational area". And this is strongly suggested by the topos, which show a closely spaced line of buildings along the river. And for once, searching by the real name of the place pulls up the WPA guide, which flatly refers to the place as a resort. The original mill site is now part of the state rec area, the resort buildings are gone, and this is clearly not a town and never was.

As always, city councillors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- the only other current Saint John city councillor who does have an article previously served in the provincial legislature, and thus passes NPOL #1, while city councillors otherwise get articles only if they can show a credible reason why they should be seen as special cases of significantly greater notability than the norm for city councillors. That is, a city councillor doesn't just need to show personal life and career background, they need to show substantial and properly sourced evidence of their political impact — specific things they did, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their time on council had on the development of the city, evidence of nationalizing prominence, and on and so forth — but there's no content of that type here, and this is just written as background info on a city councillor who exists. Having previously been a non-winning candidate in a provincial election also isn't grounds for notability -- even at that level, the notability test for a politician still requires holding a seat in the legislature, not just running for one -- and notability is not inherited, so being the child of a previous mayor of the city isn't grounds for notability either. But the referencing here is a mixture of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all and the purely run of the mill local campaign and election-night coverage that every city councillor in every city can always show, which is not enough in and of itself. Existing as a city councillor is not enough for a Wikipedia article in and of itself, but this article is not evincing any reason why Mariah Darling would qualify as a special case over and above the rest of their council colleagues.

The issue here, however, is that once again the article does not accurately relate what the thesis (which is the only source I could find outside GNIS) says about the place. The key failure is in the statement that "it was the home of several families [of] free African Americans", because it says that about the whole Cabin Creek Settlement. The "Scott's Corner" part pertains only to the store, due to the name of the proprietor. It doesn't actually say there was a town there, and it doesn't say that people lived at the corner. At least, that's how it reads to me. And it's basically an isolated intersection now, and furthermore, the aerials indicate that the two houses on the NE corner are recent, and that there was once another building on the SE corner which disappeared around 2010. It might have been the store at some point, or maybe not. It would be nice to find something else to go by, but for instance the county history (which was written early as these things go) doesn't mention it.

But this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources (the galleries, academic staff profiles, etc.) that aren't support for notability, except for one magazine article that briefly namechecks Barrie Jones as one participant in a group show, which is a valid start but not strongly enough about him to singlehandedly get him over GNG all by itself if it's the only non-primary source in the mix.

As well, the title is unnecessarily overdisambiguated — since none of the other people listed in the disambiguation page at Barrie Jones are photographers, just "photographer" would suffice and "Canadian photographer" is overdoing it — further suggesting that the creator lacks functional understanding of Wikipedia's rules and practices.

| 2025-02-20 | Vimazoluleka (2017 Venezuelan musical movie) | AfD (3 k, 1 d) (Article about a film, not properly sourced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, films are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party coverage about them in media -- film reviews, evidence of noteworthy film awards, production coverage, that sort of thing. But the only footnotes here are an article about the director's death which briefly namechecks this film without being about the film in any non-trivial sense (and doesn't even support the statement about the film's postproduction that it's footnoting), a press release from the film's own production studio, and a short blurb that isn't substantive enough to get the film over GNG all by itself. Further, even though the film was released in 2017 according to IMDB and the dating of the footnotes agrees with that, the creator wrote about this as if it were an "upcoming" film slated for release in 2024 -- and although I've corrected that nonsense already, there are other statements here (some completely unsourced, and the postproduction claim that isn't supported by the director's obituary) that may also be in question if they can't be properly verified. (I've also had to remove two other footnotes that had nothing to do with this film at all, and were present solely to falsely assert, because of the misrepresented release date, that it would be a "posthumous" work for cast and crew who died after 2017.) As most coverage would likely be in Spanish, and the film actually came out long enough ago that the very low number of GNG-worthy Google hits might not be the whole story, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with good access to databases of Venezuelan media coverage from the 2010s can find enough solid sourcing to salvage it -- but especially given that the article contained significant falsehoods that just IMDb alone was able to smoke out, it really needs much better sourcing than it's got right now.

It is an orphan apart from a redirect, and an unsourced mention on the page for the German town of Creglingen. No reference has ever been provided for its one-sentence lead section. The only reference ever provided since 2006 is a brief, unsourced mention in a description of a Creglingen Walking Tour from a blog site, which is itself not a reliable source. On German Wikipedia, there is no equivalent page, and the article de:Creglingen does not mention Crago.
Outside of Wikipedia, the Creglingen town's website does not mention Crago. A Google Find search for Crago and Creglingen only gives a single, 1882, German mention, in Württembergische Vierteljahrshefte für Landesgeschichte, Volume 5 (1882), which does not support the Crago (Alamanni) page. I propose this page should be DELETED on the grounds that it cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources; that thorough attempts to find reliable sources have failed to verify it; and that the subject fails to meet the relevant notability guidelines.

I haven't used AFD until now, and I've decided to nominate only one initially, as advised in WP:BUNDLE. Depending on how this one goes, I may then nominate the other ten.
This was a one-line stub based on statistical information at Olympedia. I'm not sure if that should be regarded as a reliable source. I found some extra information, although it is purely routine stuff about family and profession, so I've managed to expand it a little, but the only other sailing information I've got is the name of his club. As Bentley did not win a medal at the 1956 Games, the article fails WP:NOLYMPICS, and the lack of significant coverage overall fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. I should explain that, when I was reviewing the AWSE items earlier, I tagged numerous Olympic ones for notability and was going to leave it at that. I later realised that these eleven were created by a former editor who will not be able to take action, and so I decided to bring them to AFD. I think the two sorting lists I've selected are okay.

I searched TROVE database of Australian newspapers, magazines, and journals at the National Library of Australia and found only primary documents covering production costs as it appears the film was made through a government grant for developing young film makers (the production company Australian Film Theatre appears to have been a short lived government sponsored company that made only three works in 1985 before disappearing). I can find no evidence that this film was ever actually aired on television. It's very possible that it was never seen as there are no reviews in media archives or in google news, google scholar, jstor, ebscoe, proquest, etc, and no sources naming when it aired or on what network.

| 2025-02-22 | Eight Schools Association (Group of prep schools in Northeast United States) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (1 relist) (The ESA is an association of wealthy college-preparatory boarding schools in the Northeastern United States. I am concerned that this page does not meet WP:GNG because there is minimal direct coverage from outside, reliable sources, based on a review of Google News, Google Scholar, and the Wikipedia Library (inc. EBSCO and JSTOR). In addition, the material in the article (based primarily on sources and data from the member schools) suggests that the ESA has not been very active since 2013. Several members of the association attempted to start an athletics league, which used to have the Wikipedia page Six Schools League. The SSL page was deleted in July 2024 via WP:PROD, as there was no evidence that the league ever began play. I don't think there was any substantive discussion about the deletion then.
As far as I can tell, the only meaningful discussion of the ESA by an outside source appears to be a 2018 book about campus planning by architect and Princeton administrator Robert Spencer Barnett with photos of the ESA campuses. In his preface, the author states that "limiting the scope [of the book] to this group may seem overly restrictive," but "these schools embody most of the opportunities and challenges that exist at peer institutions." Other than that, specific descriptions of the ESA in outside sources have generally been limited to offhand mentions in articles about member schools.

The Vancouver school district has many other mini school programs in other schools, and while the Byng Arts Mini Program has unique aspects to it, the coverage available isn't enough to establish it as especially notable.The version of this article before I edited it had two in-line citations; most of the article has been unsourced for over a decade and a half. Although more sources were added for existing content on the day of this nomination, most of the article remains unsourced and reads like a directory or guide for applicants to the program. This is not what Wikipedia is for, and the Byng Arts website serves this purpose already and in a more detailed manner.If a merger is decided, reliably sourced and encyclopedic content should be merged into the Lord Byng Secondary School article.

There's no critical commentary, and it consists only of a credits list and a brief one sentence plot summary. It describes the film as a "Tele film" but gives no named network or broadcast date. I searched TROVE database of Australian newspapers, magazines, and journals at the National Library of Australia and found only primary documents covering production costs as it appears the film was made through a government grant for developing young film makers (the production company Australian Film Theatre appears to have been a short lived government sponsored company that made only three works in 1985 before disappearing). I can find no evidence that this film was ever actually aired on television. It's very possible that it was never seen as there are no reviews in media archives or in google news, google scholar, jstor, ebscoe, proquest, etc, and no sources naming when it aired or on what network. The only thing I can find is credit listings that the film was made and went through a post production period. Best.4meter4 (talk) 05:06, 23 February 2025 (UTC)) |

Superficial accolades and self-promotion shouldn't form the basis for a Wikipedia BLP. The overwhelming reliance on press releases, self-published notices (such as Aggie100.com), and local business media results in an article that reads more like a CV than an encyclopedic entry. The awards listed, while seemingly numerous, come largely from promotional or local sources, which raise questions about their substantive relevance and genuine impact. Also, some awards appear to be linked to organizations with potential conflicts of interest. The citations from Bloomberg and the Houston Business Journal, though reasonably reputable, fail to provide the depth of third-party analytical coverage required for notability. Given the heavy reliance on WP:PRIMARY SOURCES and promotional material, the article does not meet WP:NOTABILITY guidelines. In my WP:BEFORE search, I found nothing to improve the article.

There are exactly two books on Google Books that mention it, one of them self-published in 2024 (and probably inspired by this article), and the other uses the term only 3 times. The word "proteans" is used in sociology books sometimes, often about racial identity, but I can't find any remotely legitimate source other than those 2 books to use it how this article does -- INCLUDING the article linked in its references, which does not include the string "proteans" at all, (and although that article uses the adjective "protean" in its discussion, it is far from the core point of the article. Regular internet users do not appear to use the word this way either, as a Google search for '"proteans" body language' returns almost no results. This article appears to effectively be disinformation, to be honest -- many websites appear to have copied this article to define the term. There are only two books I can find that are relevant at all: Body Language by Glenn Wilson, 2016 (publisher: Icon Books).

First, as the talk page states, it isn't clear what the criteria for inclusion on this article entails.

The existence of this article seems to be an open invitation to violate WP: INDISCRIMINATE. Computers can do infinitely many things.

| 2025-02-23 | Uncertainty theory (Liu) (Approach to fuzzy logic) | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (The article seems to fail to meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines (WP:NOTE) and might be a fringe theory (WP:Fringe). However, this is not a clear-cut case, so it would require a detailed review from people familiar with the field.
The article relies almost entirely on primary sources—Liu’s own book (Uncertainty Theory, Springer, 2015) and papers by closely associated researchers in niche journals (e.g., Journal of Uncertain Systems) or conference proceedings. I didn't find evidence of recognition, critique, or adoption by the broader mathematical community, unlike established fields like probability theory or fuzzy logic. Additionally, the article’s heavy reliance on Liu’s work without secondary sources violates WP:V and risks being original research (WP:NOR). Its technical depth, unmoored from independent context, suggests it’s more a summary of Liu’s publications than an encyclopedic entry reflecting widespread significance. Without proof of impact beyond its proponents, it doesn’t warrant a standalone page. The main counter-argument to deletion is that Liu's book is published in Springer, and is currently in 4th edition. According to Google Scholar, the citation count is over 4000. However, such a high citation count should be accompanied by many more non-primary articles talking about the topic. It makes me think that these citations might be "fake", or from individuals connected to the author, which isn't unheard of in China, where academic fraud is especially prevalent. Note that this was previously discussed in 2009, without consensus but with many people supporting deletion. Since then, a potential deletion was brought up by several other individuals in the talk page. 7804j (talk) 17:45, 23 February 2025 (UTC)) |

I found another much more detailed paper by S.

Referencs are very poor - most examples are unreferenced; the few that are not just primary refs to fictional examples references are about a bigger concepts, like about history of spacesuits (not primarily about fiction); or about real spacewalks; the best source we have is a listicle about "18 space suits from science fiction" [146] (at least The Verge is generally RS, but I am afraid that's too little to save this). My BEFORE is not very helpful (there is a passing mention of the concept in MA here, but that's not SIGCOV and MAs have borderline reliability), although SFE has an entry for Spacesuit Films (but that's a related concept - not identical, however). FYI I also checked, without any hits for this topic, the following reference works: Encyclopedia Of Science Fiction by Don DAmmassa, Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction Literature, The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Science fact and science fiction: an encyclopedia, and The Visual Encyclopedia of Science Fiction i The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Pinging User:TompaDompa who has a great track rescuing such content - I'd love to be proven wrong, but so far, I am not seeing sources for that :( Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:20, 23 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-23 | Yaazhnila (Wikimedia disambiguation page) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Name page that fails WP:NNAME and WP:NOTDICT and lacks any evidence of notability whatsoever. The only sources I can find are random baby name websites of questionable reliability. I only bring it to AfD because it was deleted via PROD back in 2013, and so is ineligible for that.

Fails WP:GNG, as Wikipedia is WP:NOTDICT. The article is a collection of various WP:PASSING and WP:SYNTH. Longhornsg (talk) 08:15, 10 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-24 | Misschief Films | AfD (0 k, 4 d) (NN company which apparently produced two non-notable "snowboard all-girl films" (???). Clearly fails WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH requirements. Cavarrone 14:14, 24 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-25 | Mason Bernard | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (Minor, short-lived guitar brand with no coverage beyond passing mentions in articles about the founder's other company, B.C. Rich. But B.C. Rich being notable doesn't make this company notable. Most of the content also appears to just be OR. Mbinebri (talk) 14:49, 25 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-25 | 2029 British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand (International rugby union tour) | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (Per WP:Rumour, all sources are discussing something that might happen in Las Vegas. The tour in 2029 has not been confirmed by the British and Irish Lions. If the tour were to happen there is no evidence it will take place in New Zealand this suggestion of this is based on historical trends. SimplyLouis27 (talk) 20:06, 25 February 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-02-26 | The People's Recorder (Podcast about American history, culture and literature) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (I doubt the notability of the topic. I tried to find some secondary sources but I couldn't. The only thing us that it had been nominated by an award, but I am not sure whether that award is prominent or not. Current sourcing in the article is mainly primary. ToadetteEdit (talk) 08:01, 26 February 2025 (UTC)) |

| 2025-02-27 | Jihobbyist (Jihad sympathiser) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (2 relists) (This is a neologism, and does not meet our standards for it. There is actually a lot of usage of the term, but it's always referring to it in the context of its creator, and should be merged to the creator of the term, Jarret Brachman.
