- I am going to make a comment and sound a bit like a broken record in the process. For just shy of four years at various AfD nominations, I have pleaded with Philippines radio and TV topic area editors to up their game, asking for their three best sources, pleading with them to read the room and add more references, begging for higher source quality, hoping they will wait for a TV station to become notable before writing an article on it, and so on, and all my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Again, I exhort the people who work on these pages to get serious about either improving the quality of the sourcing in these articles or developing a plan to cull them when they can't meet the GNG. I understand and sympathize with the problems about source availability and even reliability, particularly for pre-internet topics. But what we have now will not fly on this project, and the fact that new pages continue to be hurtled into the sun with not even the slightest sense that something has changed is concerning. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 06:19, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Subic Broadcasting Corporation – There doesn't seem to be significant coverage in reliable sources, but DXXM is very briefly included in the other article, so a redirect might be helpful. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 08:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

I know the good folks are busy and hardworking and when they're not working they're hosting family reunions, but in agreement with Sammi Brie, editors with specific interests need to up their game.

- I'm not being silly, I'm addressing my own personal experience with researching Philippines sources, which tend to be hidden from Google. I discovered this when writing Blumea balsamifera, Carbon Market, and Philippine energy law. That's why I rely heavily on the relevant WikiProject, because they have expertise in diving into the deep end of the Internet on topics like this. Bearian (talk) 10:40, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Subic Broadcasting Corporation. There are some not great sources in the Subic Broadcasting Corporation article. If more sources for the DXXM article are found later, it can be changed from a redirect back to an article. - tucoxn\talk 11:49, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

All of the four sources are the *barest* possible passing mentions, zero are significant toward GNG. Just because chicken (fried/roasted/whatever) is, like many other foods, commonly served with chips/french fries does not mean that the combination is a specific dish that is notable or needs its own article. Unlike the well-established fish & chips, I am not finding sources that specifically discuss this as a notable set, just a parallel name. Nor do sources establish the mentioned "chicken and chip shops" is a specific thing, rather that shops that specialize in chicken also offer chips as a common side, and I don't think this is a necessary article.

- Comment I am looking for sources, but just wanted to say that I don't think Chicken tenders is an appropriate redirect. The chicken in "chicken and chips" is not always in that form (in Australia, often not, I would say - it's often a quarter or half a roast or barbequed chicken with chips). RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:35, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

- There's nothing in the edit history of the article to indicate where proper sources might be found. The first source cited is a 1970s newspaper article about the rising price of beef. The third source even tells the reader in the citation that it is an advertisement, giving the price of chicken and chips. As did Special:Diff/528477895, which sets a low bar indeed when it is one of the better pieces of rubbish added to the article over the years. Looking for sources, the world seems to have written nothing more profound on this subject than the tautologous statement that it is chicken, with chips. The icing on the cake is that no image ever added to the article has illustrated the content that claims how it is usually packaged. Which makes a third of the article now at hand a lie; but then that is the last remnant of longer text originally in the article that seemed to be making the bizarre case that KFC does not sell chicken and chips. (For my own amusement, I tried to find a KFC menu on the WWW from somewhere near the places mentioned in Special:Diff/528477895, which was such a random addition to the article. I found one. It sells chicken, optionally with fries.) I see no way for this to become a proper article. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 15:37, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect as a perfectly good compromise/ATD. There's literally one good source. I don't have the patience to look through potentially thousands of recipes, advertising, and Facebook posts on Google to find two more reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 00:40, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep There are several scholarly articles looking at consumption of chicken and chips from the perspectives of unhealthy food/obesity and young people's preferred social spaces and sense of agency, eg "“Two quid, chicken and chips, done”: understanding what makes for young people’s sense of living well in the city through the lens of fast food consumption" [1] and [2] (which also says "a London-based observational study of food behaviours of secondary school pupils showed that the most purchased fast food takeaway product was chicken and chips. Further, that skipping lunch at lunchtime to save money for after school socialising and eating was a popular means of financing this"). There are also sources that talk about chicken and chips as a ubiquitous food consumed travelling through Essex, Holland and Belgium (a review of John Muckle's novel My Pale Tulip [3]) or through Iran by train (an article by Robert Fisk in The Independent [4]). There are recipes for home-cooked chicken and chips from Jamie Oliver [5], Better Homes and Gardens [6], Country Life [7], etc. There are newspaper articles like "Chicken and chips: My very first time" [8]; "Why chicken and chips now top the menu at Britain’s newest restaurants" [9]; "Liverpool's first KFC that sold chicken and chips for 47p" [10]; and a Zimbabwe election with one party giving away free chicken and chips "Zimbabwe election: Chicken and chips put a taste for democracy to the test" [11]. There are other scholarly sources which I haven't yet accessed, and books and journals which only show a snippet view on Google Books, such as the Journal of the British Chicken Association suggesting the use of chicken and chips as an alternative to fish and chips in 1964 [12]. There's a poem called "Chicken and Chips" in an anthology published by Oxford University Press, according to this book from 1998 [13]. This seems to me plenty to meet WP:GNG, and to write about health and social aspects of the meal, its history, and cultural uses. RebeccaGreen (talk) 05:32, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Strong disagree. These are minor passing mentions, generic, or inconsistent, still merely pairing a popular entree and a popular side and not enough to justify a standalone article even if the alliteration makes it a good name or that it parallels fish and chips. These recipes and subjects of articles are entirely different, sometimes about fried chicken and sometimes about roast chicken. Anything about history and cultural uses can go generally those articles or fast food or Fried chicken restaurant/chicken restaurant, such as the discussion relating to health. There's nothing substantive in those articles specifcally about this combination that justifies a standalone article and that can't be added to those articles, as well as ubiquitous French fries. Would be absurd to even mention in the encyclopedia that a political party gave out fried chicken once. Reywas92Talk 16:40, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not sure where you are, but the use of word "entrée" to mean the main dish of a meal is (I think) North American - it is certainly not British or Australian (where an entrée is what you eat before the main dish). Perhaps "chicken and chips" is not a thing in the US as it is in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Chicken and chips does differ from fish and chips in that the chicken is sometimes roasted on a rotisserie, sometimes (battered and) fried, sometimes processed chicken, sometimes actual chicken or chicken parts - but that is part of the selling point of each shop (as discussed in some of the sources I found). We also wouldn't call most shops selling takeaway chicken and chips "restaurants" - they are chicken shops (as named in the sources), cafes or just take-aways. I could just as well argue that there's nothing about fish and chips which couldn't be said in the Fried fish article (where in fact the first photo is of fish and chips!) RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:01, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- We do have chicken and chips in the US, we just call them french fries and the chicken is fried. Fish and chips is a specific style of fried fish with less variation and as shown in the article has plenty of history specific to it and clearer cultural significance. This is not a good comparison.

Remember: The important thing is whether multiple people other than Timothy McAllister have written in-depth about Timothy McAllister's life and works. It's not about how subjectively worthy one might think someone to be. So go through the cited sources and any that you can find, and see whether any qualify as in-depth and independent of Timothy McAllister here.

- Keep per WP:ANYBIO#3. The entry in Dansk Biografisk Lexikon also appears to cite four secondary sources. The only one I was able to track down was this one, which is titled "In memory of the Herlovian Hans Bøchman Melchior" and is by his peer Frederik Christian Sibbern. I don't speak Danish and it's a book scan so I can't properly assess it, but it's 58 pages long and seems like it might be usable. It also looks like he is covered in this book, but I can't find a digitised copy of it. And he also has an entry in a separate Danish biographical dictionary.

I cannot find many sources that refer to a "Kingdom of Gujarat" that consists of the Chaulukya dynasty and Vaghela dynasty as one polity separate from what came before or after it. This article seems to be a WP:POVFORK of those 2 dynasties' articles, and adds no new information. The creator of the article, PadFoot , actually removed content from those articles, without consensus or at least a discussion, to create this article. AlvaKedak (talk) 21:22, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, India, and Gujarat. AlvaKedak (talk) 21:22, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete:
Per nomination, "Kingdom of Gujarat" flops under WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search digs up nothing independent or significant,its just a POV-fork article of Chaulukya dynasty & Vaghela dynasty without any prior discussion. Total trash per WP:CFORK, no point keeping this mess around. NXcrypto Message 06:50, 21 March 2025 (UTC) - And yet the sources cited do check out. I checked the very first one, and it does indeed say on page 311 that there was a Kingdom of Gujarat founded by Mularaja and lasting until 1298.
Random history books such as Allied Publisher's Indian History yes in fact do have the Chalukyas and the Vaghelas as one thing from 950 to 1300 when it was annexed to the Sultanate of Delhi. That's in its Chronology at the start of the book, and later it says that Alauddin's "first major conquest was of the rich kingdom of Gujarat, which was then ruled by the Vaghela (Chalukya or Solanki) king Karna."
Likewise The Groundwork of Indian History (Chuckervertty, Chatterjee: "[…] the Chaulukya and Vaghela kingdom of Gujarat"), The Story of Early Indian Civilization (Longmans: "[…] finally annexed to the Sultanate in 1297. Thus ended Hindu rule in the kingdom of Gujarat"), and others. I was slightly concerned about Raj-era sourcing until I started turning up 21st century books such as Schmidt's An Atlas and Survey of South Asian History which says that the Delhi Sultanate under Alauddin "conquered several neighbouring, independent kingdoms. The kingdom of Gujarat was forcibly annexed (1299)".
There's also the 1989 Gujarat State Gazeteer that says "During his campaign in South India he had already been attracted by the proverbial wealth of the sea-borne kingdom of Gujarat. He therefore seized the opportunity that came on his way by itself. Alauddin ordered his brother Ulugh Khan, alongwith another trusted general Nusrat Khan in Delhi to invade Gujarat in February 1299 A.D"
We can be quite confident that this is not a Raj-era thing from Apama Kapadia's 2018 CUP Gujarat: The Long Fifteenth Century and the Making of a Region having this whole kingdom as one thing under the heading "The Chaulukya–Vaghela Polity, c. 940–1304", beginning with Mularaja and ending with the Vaghelas losing to Alauddin.
I don't know where you two are looking, but it certainly hasn't begun with the sources right in front of you, and the statement that there are no sources presenting this as one continuous kingdom from Mularaja up to Alauddin is blatantly false. There definitely are, and if I could find them, with my limited means, you two certainly should have been able to.
Uncle G (talk) 00:03, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- I will concede that point to you, you are right. It was an oversight on my part and I should have looked into those sources before I filed this AFD, my apologies to everyone.
- However, this article does not contribute any new information, everything except the lead and Infobox was copied off the Chalukya dynasty and Vaghela dynasty articles. The creator removed the History and Culture sections from both articles [17] [18] and just pasted those contents (little to no changes) into this article without a discussion. Those contents that were removed have since been restored, making this article redundant. AlvaKedak (talk) 08:08, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Oppose as the article has pretty substantial material and sourcesOn a second thought, Delete per WP:REDUNDANTFORK, as there aren't sufficient reliable sources to group the dynasties into one kingdom. Waleed (talk) 13:54, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Changing vote with reason per WP:CFORK.
Keep. I am confused why this page was nominated. After going through first source itself, I see coverage on the subject and more followed after. Passes WP:GNG with significant coverage.RangersRus (talk) 22:39, 24 March 2025 (UTC)- The primary issue here is not whether the "Kingdom of Gujarat" is mentioned in sources, it is the fact that this article appears to be a POV-fork of the existing Chaulukya dynasty and Vaghela dynasty pages, created without prior discussion or consensus. Much of its content was lifted directly from those articles with little to no new information added. While Uncle G rightly notes that some sources treat the Chaulukya and Vaghela periods as a continuous polity, the key question is whether this overlap justifies a separate article, or if it is better addressed within the established dynasty pages. Given the redundancy, I am still inclined to support deletion per WP:REDUNDANTFORK. AlvaKedak (talk) 10:12, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Per nom. Clearly a WP:REDUNDANTFORK, most sources are old which shouldn't be taken into our evaluation. While some sources may mention the "Kingdom of Gujarat" and we may get multiple google book hits with it but that doesn't mean reliable sources actually group the dynasties into one umbrella kingdom.

- Comment 1, I'm not an English speaker. Spanish is my first language. Two, similar to Ladder match, the article is a collection of every single Ladder/TLC match and has been removed in the past.

The vast majority of citations in this article are to the article author's self published book (see comment here). Most of the rest are other self-published sources, whitepapers and such, from 'Emerson Automation Experts' or employees of Emerson in other venues. What remains are cites (such as 'Control Global' or 'OnePetro') that do not mention the topic of the article. I've looked and haven't turned up any better sourcing, and the author of the article has stated on my user talk that their self-published book is the only one on this topic and there is 'not much out there' otherwise. Since we have very few (1, I think) reliably published sources - and no sources independent of Emerson automation - It would appear this topic does not meet WP:GNG and ought to be deleted.

- I will stand by that my sources are reliable, even though there is a potential conflict of interest. Also I am retired from Emerson, and nobody makes a significant amount of money from an engineering reference book.
- I appreciate that you are saying that Wikipedia requires multiple sources for reference. I would hope that there is a means to introduce new things to Wikipedia so that people can learn about them and grow knowledge in that area. This technology has been siloed in a few companies for many years, so as mentioned not much out there. It has great potential for benefit to humanity, through improved safety and productivity.
- As Dow Chemical mentioned in reference 2, this technology enabled health and safety, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars.
- It is also a type of automation that fosters human automation partnership. So, offers a lot to learn on how to deal with AI. It is a very worthwhile topic.
- To my knowledge there is at least one other book on the topic in progress, and in time I am sure there will be more.

Article about a band, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The attempted notability claims here are the existence of singles and EPs (where NMUSIC requires full-length albums), airplay on the local radio station in their own hometown (where NMUSIC requires playlisting on national networks, not just individual commercial radio stations), and having been booked to play a cancelled local music festival (where NMUSIC requires a national tour that actually happens) -- and the article is referenced entirely to a mixture of primary sources, which are not support for notability, and purely local coverage in their own hometown, which is not sufficient to demonstrate more than strictly local notability. The only more than local source present at all is used solely to verify the cancellation of the festival, and does not constitute support for the notability of The Noolands.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the band from having to have a stronger notability claim than just existing, and better sourcing for it than just a small handful of hometown coverage in Barrie's community hyperlocals. Bearcat (talk) 19:40, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

- @IgelRM, can you point out which portions of the content are mergeable, and supported by any secondary WP:RS? None of the sources jumped out to me as such. And merging unreffed or WP:PRIMARY sourced info is less than ideal. So I'm wondering what there is to merge. Thanks for your feedback! JFHJr (㊟) 02:52, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- He is conveying to merge the Star engine and the CIG from the first message which seems to me the actual thing? However he also says it overlaps the contents virtually which seems true. I am checking, deeply, if I can merge anything. It would be good if he contributes to discussion in due times. Sys64wiki (talk) 09:29, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- I'm just talking very generally. Although I agree that the sources are mostly inappropriate, the Star Citizen article currently doesn't mention Star Engine at all. IgelRM (talk) 15:09, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- {Response to merge suggestion}
- I disagree with the suggestion to merge Star Engine (CIG) into Star Citizen. While Star Engine is used for Star Citizen, it is a separate technology with its own development history, technical details, and significance.
- Star citizen is a game.
- Star engine is a game engine.
- The Star Engine article provides unique information about its development, modifications from CryEngine and Lumberyard, and its role in game technology.This content does not fit within the Star Citizen article, which focuses on the game itself.
- Merging would remove important technical details that deserve a dedicated space. Instead of merging, I suggest improving the Star Engine article with more independent sources and details. Sys64wiki (talk) 12:24, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- In general, a technology like a game engine developed for internal use rarely pass WP:Notability. Among other issues, please familiarize yourself with WP:Verifiability and WP:Reliable sources. IgelRM (talk) 15:14, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- I have carefully reviewed Wikipedia's guidelines, WP:Verifiability and WP:Reliable sources and verified that the article meets the necessary criteria.

- Merge to Star Citizen per above. Reddit, Google Search, YouTube, a MMORPG Internet forum and the game's fan wiki does not constitute reliable sources, with Google Search being a nothing burger for a source and the others being user-generated content. @Sys64wiki I strongly recommend that you try to understand what the editors sent instead of blatantly swearing that the article fulfills all those requirements. In addition, there is a good amount of overlap between both articles, with the minimum required information added into a section. MimirIsSmart (talk) 08:56, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect No objection to a very partial merge. Hobit (talk) 16:54, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Star Citizen does seem appropriate here. Just the statement about the engine being used from WP:PRIMARY ought to be OK for the article for the far more notable game itself, I'm not sure a formal merge process is necessary if someone thinks the one useful sentence can be salvaged. ToffeeThumbs (talk) 05:17, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note for closer: I'm the nominator. I don't think there's anything to actually merge ("this exists" - WP:PRIMARY). The article history is worthless. Its author was blocked for 3 months for disruptive behavior, including copyvios, so the history should probably not be kept. But I will join a consensus to redirect this namespace. Please also consider WP:REVDEL as one possible remedy. Let's close this and move on. JFHJr (㊟) 22:14, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - I agree that the subject is non notable per all the excellent arguments above, so the article as it stands should not exist. Having worked on the creating editor's other articles, I found it tricky to winkle out copyright infringements thanks to the combination of WP:CLOP and LLM usage to smooth over the prose. I have run Earwig's Copyvio Detector against this article and there is nothing obvious, but I would not be confident that infringements of some sort are not there, so I'd consider presumptive deletion to be a safer course of action. If there are useful sources in this article that could contribute to other related articles, then I'd recommend that editors use them from first principles and write their own prose, rather than merging existing content anywhere. If we do intend to keep this as a redirect, then I'd suggest that the first version up to and including the version immediately prior to the redirect be WP:REVDELled.

The article doesn't provide evidence of notability but this does appear to be deployed in multiple school districts.

- Keep: I understand the concern that this article may fit the WP:BLP1E, but looking to policy it states that: (1)
Reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
we have coverage now about the anniversary of his death from MSN and Tuko.co.ke (here and [20]). (2)The person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual
For his death there is a coverage from the BBC which means this not a low-profile individuals. Also there is a plenty of coverage beyond his death from Nairobi news here, here, and here in 2023, Tuko.co.ke (here and here), The Standard (here and here), Nairobi Wire, The Start, and many more for controversial things that he has done (which should have been included in the article). FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- So he has a few news articles (two of which are not new imo) about his TikTok activity (routine for influencers) and the rest is about his death. Is he notable for his death or for his arrest for defamation? If its the latter, I can find a lot of news articles on people we could create Wikipedia pages for. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:39, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- The is not how WP:BLP1E works as I explained above. Buzz Aldrin is mostly known for one event but there is coverage about different aspects of his life, hence why him and other astronauts have articles. WP:42 “in depth coverage from multiple reliable sources” and these articles establish that.
- Let’s take a moment and think why would the BBC cover the death of a TikToker if he wasn’t notable enough before his death, as nothing about his death is surprising. 400,000 people who attended the funeral, and you think it’s BLP1E FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:25, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- So, someone is notable if they are written about in the BBC? I am not sure how someone's notability claim of being a TikToker can be compared to someone who's claim to notability is being the second person to walk on the moon, the first astronaut with a doctoral degree (from MIT I will add), and being portrayed in dozens of films and television shows. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:44, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

The book Escape to Prison: Penal Tourism and the Pull of Punishment (page 76) [25] describes how Old Melbourne Gaol museum asks visitors to think about how Ned Kelly would be treated today, and show a photograph of him dressed in an orange boiler-suit ("think Guanatanamo Bay"). The quote in the article, that "that is the image that is being left with people all around the world, that everybody in Guantanamo is wearing an orange jump suit", does fit with these sources. Some more about these issues could be added to the article. The Guantanamo Bay article is already long, so it would probably be better to keep this article separate.

- Comment I have edited the article and started adding more sources and info. Many of the arguments presented so far seem to fit WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC and/or WP:ITSCRUFT. However, this topic is the subject of a chapter in a book published by Indiana University Press, 4-5 pages in a book published by Bloomsbury Publishing, and an article in The Washington Post, in addition to less substantial coverage in other articles. For other topics, I believe this would be considered WP:SIGCOV. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:01, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Non notable film. Created as part of a soapbox effort to highlight Bitel's alleged crimes. Massive bombardment of sources but a good number are about Bitel and the allegations and do not mention the film (and predate it by years). No sign of any reviews.

(It then goes on to talk about that broadcasting fight for several paragraphs)
- There are plenty more hits as well, for example see [27]
"Kim Ju-yong (Gyeongbuk) at the moment of setting a new Korean record, breaking the previous record by 5.27 seconds, marking 8 minutes 5.8 total 0.2 in the men's 3,000m obstacle race"
. Overall just searching for "김주용" or "김주룡" at https://newslibrary.naver.com/search/searchByKeyword.naver around the 1980s turn up at least dozens of relevant results in prose, but they are difficult to translate because I need to use Google Cloud Vision for each one.

During that discussion the article was rewritten and renamed into the current article about the restaurant (while retaining the minimal content about Cawthon himself). While there was consensus at the time to retain the article in that form, that was 12 years ago and should not be indicative of whether or not it meets our 2025 standards (on that front, I have no opinion or comment).

This is a small local article but it says that one of the restaurants is located on the site of a former state prison which could be a section in the article [29].

lacks sufficient notability and reliable sources to substantiate its claims, as the organization does not have significant independent coverage in reputable sources. Additionally, the article seems to rely heavily on promotional content Xrimonciam (talk) 08:54, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose deletion the article has some issues with it, but if you do a WP:BEFORE its clear the organization more than fulfills the notability requirement according to WP:NORG. An organization that operates as a coalition of 70+ civil society organizations working across 33 countries for over 20 years is notable. It is additionally involved in a number of notable activities in the region they operate 1 2 3 4 5
- Its true there is a disparity of information about what happens in this part of the world as they are not frequently reported on or by what Wikipedia deems reliable sources. But that does not mean they are not notable. I think it is more than fair to strike or tag what you consider "promotional content" or what you deem unreliable and tag it for cleanup so it can be worked on. It would not take much work to improve this article. But the argument that this org is not notable is just not accurate. Nayyn (talk) 14:02, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose deletion - SOAWR meets the notability requirements of WP:NORG. As a coalition of civil society organisations operating across more than 30 countries for over 20 years, the organisation has significant regional impact on women's rights in Africa. While mainstream media coverage may be limited, the organisation’s work is well-documented in regional and human rights sources. I have already made improvements to the article, and further refinements can address any remaining issues. Deletion is not warranted.
- Officialworks (talk) 14:52, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: The article now meets both WP:GNG and WP:NORG. SOAWR is a coalition operating in 33 African countries, with regional impact on women's rights through the Maputo Protocol. Its role has been independently recognized in multiple WP:RS, including Oxfam GB, United Nations Development Programme, and the American Society of International Law Annual Meeting Proceedings (via JSTOR). These sources substantiate its contributions to legal advocacy and multilateral engagement.

Fails WP:SPORTCRIT as he probably also fails WP:GNG. This piece about a disagreement with his agent is something, but probably not enough to sustain a whole biography. As for his sporting career, he made 5 appearances for Osijek in the highest Croatian league (this is just a mention in a squad list) and later played 262 minutes in Bosnia. The source in the article is a WP:ROUTINE news announcement about him leaving the Bosnian club. A story about him opening a gym followed, but opening a gym is hardly notable.

Unsure if this fulfills NBOOK. Most sources are to source background information. The reviews are from a Forbes contributor (not RS), Newsweek (dubious), and the Marin Independent Journal (fine). That's one, and we need two. The Malta one seems... dubious to me (reads like AI) and is not sigcov anyway. Merion West I am unsure about its reliability.

- Hi, What about The Irish Independent review on Transhuman Citizen? That’s Ireland’s biggest and most notable newspaper, and the review is both a full feature (in print and on web) on the book and its launch. Can that be the second review you are looking for? There’s also the Church and State review, a long standing publication that appears to have decent traffic. And there’s the author’s essay of the book in Foundation for Economic Education, a well-established org which has a wikipedia page and has long published important essays. Of course, there’s multiple mentions in many languages of the book across the internet (in the last few weeks, I saw discussions on it in French and Chinese). Finally, there’s other smaller blogs that ran full reviews in English of the book that aren’t in the wikipedia page like Anne Carlini’s somewhat well known book blog. In short, it seems the book is notable, just barely, given wikipedia standards, and I believe the transhuman and futurist communities would like to see this page stay where it is and be improved upon. Thank you for reconsidering to keep this page alive. AlexDurham909 (talk) 16:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Most of this article is an assortment of pop culture references and random listings, which violates what Wikipedia is WP:NOT. There is some decent legacy at the top of the article, but the parent article (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) is at a decently fine page size (57,000 or so bytes), making a WP:SIZESPLIT unnecessary. While this film had a large legacy, the coverage on it does not appear to be so vast that a split from the parent article is needed and is better covered at the parent, per WP:NOPAGE.

- Comment. I agree with Clarityfiend that nothing outside the "Filmmaking" section is worth retaining, and I agree with Pokelego999 that it would be better to cover the relevant information at the parent article per WP:PAGEDECIDE. That being said, what exactly would we merge? The information in the "Financial legacy" subsection is already at Monty Python and the Holy Grail#Development, and the subsequent "Impact on television and filmmaking" subsection is pretty poor. I could maybe see using the cited "How Monty Python and the Holy Grail Influenced Film by Satirizing It" article from The Atlantic and possibly the cited "45 Years Ago: Monty Python and the Holy Grail Changes Comedy Forever" article from Ultimate Classic Rock (is that outlet WP:Reliable for this kind of content?), but in that case I wouldn't use the current content but rather start over from scratch in summarizing those sources. The rest of that subsection is either sourced to this article from Screen Rant (not a source we should be using here, see WP:RSP/VALNET), this article from The Daily Telegraph about the show Disenchantment that briefly mentions Monty Python and the Holy Grail as an inspiration, or completely unsourced. Even the best sources currently cited here are way below the quality I would expect could be found for this topic, so surely we should locate better sources and use those instead. As far as I can tell there is no need to keep the edit history for attribution (WP:CWW), and I don't think the title is worth keeping as a redirect. So I don't really see anything to WP:PRESERVE here and no other strong case for any particular WP:Alternative to deletion. Maybe I'm missing something, but at the moment I don't see why we would merge or redirect instead of simply deleting this. TompaDompa (talk) 21:14, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

- I thought that Monty Python and the Holy Grail was popular culture. Is it not popular any more? ☺
I really do not understand why the article creator made this page in the first place. Nothing was split out of the main page. The article creator has not touched the main page at all. (The "see also" was wikignomed in by someone else.) It seems a total duplication of effort to no good end. Plus, a lot of the content here is things that "are similar to" MPATHG, a lot of which is highly suspect. Eric Idle was not the first person ever to say "Bring out your dead!", which a lot of this content seems to think to be the case. I agree with both Clarityfiend amd TompaDompa on what little there is to merge, and with the latter on perhaps working from scratch from better sources in any case.
- I think we could merge what's well-referenced in this article into a new article named Cultural impact of Monty Python (based on similar articles like Cultural impact of Star Wars and Cultural impact of Dragon Ball); a Google search reveals more sources talking about the impact of the Pythons as a whole ([35], [36], [37]). -insert valid name here- (talk) 23:01, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. There are questions about sourcing and notability but no general agreement. That usually defaults to the article being kept, and having checked that the verifiability requirements for what is a short article are met I see no reason to deviate from that. I have considered the option to redirect, but Khalifa participated in two Olympics, so redirecting to just the 1988 article does not seem entirely satisfactory.

- Weak keep - I'm old enough to remember his sporting days, but he was not one of the best in Africa or the world for that matter. Mauritania does not have a history of producing great sports people unlike some West African/African countries. However, he was good enough to represent and qualify for his country twice on the international arena. His performances on the international stage is however, a different matter, but enough to be added on the Olympics official site. I have tried to search the internet using different variations of his name and different search words, but no luck. I've even checked the corresponding article in Arabic for potential RS but no luck. That article is not better than this in terms of refs. I am however, mindful of the fact, most African RS prior to the dawn of the internet (as we know it today, were info is available at the click of a button) have not been digitized yet and made easily available online. Therefore, the notability of many older Africans, who would have been notable in their day, with significant coverage, can only be verified by certain archives and out of print materials–neither of which are available online. I can't dissect the Arabic magazine as I do not speak the language, and link keeps playing up on my device. Even if one could open it, one still needs to determine if it is RS, and he has been covered in detail. Perhaps notifying other Arabic speaking WikiProjects such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Berbers, Wikipedia:WikiProject Morocco, etc., might help. Tamsier (talk) 08:37, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Even if there was bounteous SIGCOV in the "magazine" cited above, it would not count towards GNG as it is published by the governing sports body. Regardless of what we think might be available offline, there is nowhere near sufficient evidence to override the clear requirement that this biography must cite a source of IRS SIGCOV.
I searched IO with"محمد ولد خليفة "موريتانيا

) and got just 5 hits: 1 where all the hits were for a "Khalifa al Talisi" who authored stuff on historical Tripoli; 2 from 1986 which has a hit for a Mohamed Ould Khalifa who served as Algerian ambassador to Yemen and a hit for "khalifa" used as the normal word for "successor"; 3 which is the same as the first hit in #2; 4 which is the same as #2; 5 which contains hits for a Mohamed al-Arabi Ould Khalifa who in 2002/2013 translated a work on colonialism in Algeria by Charles-Robert Ageron, a paper on Algerian history by Abdel Wahab ben Khalifa, and another book edited by al-Arabi Ould Khalifa.

- By the way, the Arab Athletics Magazine is independent in this case, in the same way that an nfl.com news article or a fifa.com article can be GNG-contributing if there's no conflict of interest, especially in the case of Arab Athletics which has no financial or social relationship with the subject. --Habst (talk) 19:21, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

- Weak Keep. I added a source that mentioned he held a longstanding national 5000m record. He was also the sole person to compete for Mauritania at both the 1988 and 1992 Olympics, which indicates (along with his record) that he was one of Mauritania's greatest athletes. That we've got an African editor above who remembers Khalifa also seems to indicate significance. Remember that no Mauritanian archives are available to us. Most of their newspapers today remain offline, and his name (which has several variations: "Mohamed Ould Khalifa", "Mohamed Ould", "Mohamed Khalifa") is extremely common; searching "Mohamed Khalifa" (how he was referred to in an article discussing his national record) in the Internet Archive along with "Mauritania" in Arabic brings up thousands of results – even though they have no Mauritanian papers – way too many to look through. However, we know that he was among Mauritania's best athletes in the 1980s and 1990s, and probably all-time, and thus it is simply does not make sense to believe that the nation of Mauritania, with its population of 4,000,000 and about a dozen newspapers, would not have devoted coverage to their best athlete. I think we've got enough to write two or three decent paragraphs on him, and I am sure that if we actually did look at Mauritanian archives, we'd very likely find plenty of in-depth coverage given his accomplishments. Ultimately, I don't think that being strict with our notability guidelines helps the encyclopedia in this case; remember that WP:Notability is a guideline that editors "should generally follow ... though exceptions may apply" – I think this should be one of the rare exceptions.

- No, out of the hundreds of Olympians that have been either PRODed or AFDed recently, I've only !voted based on the "rare exceptions" clause this once, with only a small handful of others having similar reasoning. I've got a pretty good idea of what sort of subject is likely to have coverage in archives; this is one of them. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:11, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to Mauritania at the 1988 Summer Olympics#Athletics. The subject lacks the WP:SIGCOV required by WP:GNG. The 1992 article is also a suitable redirect target, but I prefer the 1988 article since the subject participated in multiple events in 1988. Having two suitable redirect targets is not grounds to choose neither and delete anyway. Frank Anchor 19:52, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

All uses are either as a modifier ("autonomic nerve fibers", "autonomic nerve functions") or in the plural in a clearly general sense meaning "nerves of the autonomic nervous system". That is, all linked instances are in the sense "nerve of the autonomic nervous system". I don't think it's a necessary redirect, but it is a plausible one.

- I really don't follow. The infobox also links this, which says that the anatomic name is "autonomic nerve". If we go by that, then the corresponding line of reasoning would say that the Latin term on the article—"neurofibrae autonomicae"—is what is wrong and should be "n. autonomicus" (i.e. "nervus autonomicus"). But of course the real problem here is that the contents of the article (
The autonomic nerve is a small nerve which carries postganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons from the zygomaticotemporal nerve [...]
) is just wrong. There is no such thing as the autonomic nerve, just as there isn't the capillary or the bone. TompaDompa (talk) 15:22, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Redirect per Enos733. If SIGCOV later surfaces, this can be resored. Until that happens, a stand-alone article can't be supported, because there is a complete failure to satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC, prong 5, which mandates: "All sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources."

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:59, 20 March 2025 (UTC)- Merge - per Star Mississippi’s suggestion, I think this would be sufficient. The nomination points out a critical point - the notability is held together by press releases. The Museum is significant enough to Hinkler’s legacy to be added there, but also agree with SM that it should be condensed to a mention. Brickto (talk) 01:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Merge I agree that there doesn't seem enough for an independent article, although the Courier Mail article [39] is one piece of SIGCOV. I have otherwise found brief mentions, eg in a Rough Guide to Australia [40] and a book about historic planes. I don't agree that the museum should just have a condensed mention - the Courier Mail article describes the five planes exhibited in the museum, and the collection of memorabilia - this article [41] from Bundaberg Regional Council says that there are now over 5000 pieces of memorabilia which are shown in a series of 'out-of-the-archives' exhibitions. However, some of the info in this article (about the piece of wood that went on the Challenger) is already in the Bert Hinkler article, so there's not much to add that's not already there. I'm not sure whether it should be merged to Bert_Hinkler#Legacy or Bert_Hinkler#Honours, where in fact this museum is already mentioned, as is his house which was moved from England and rebuilt in Bundaberg. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:58, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- That's what I meant about condensing, @RebeccaGreen. We don't need to merge it all as there's some duplication between the articles. Noting for closer's sake, either target is fine with me. Star Mississippi 15:03, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

In such marginal cases, I'm happy to let them recover their privacy.

- Redirect (not merge) to Hitachi#GlobalLogic – There is a lot of routine coverage of expansions, acquisitions, and mergers that do not count towards notability (see WP:CORPTRIV).

- Keep: I'm making this post as part of my work for Beutler Ink, on behalf of GlobalLogic. I have disclosed my conflict of interest on the article's Talk page and my User page. This article was proposed for deletion in 2011 and the result was to keep it. At the time, editors found adequate sources demonstrating notability. Some of the links in the prior discussion are now dead, but I am looking to see if I can find archived versions. That said, since 2011, GlobalLogic has continued to receive coverage in reliable sources: eWeek (discussed in 2011), The Hindu (March 2024), The Hindu (November 2024), The Times of India (December 2024), The Economic Times (2024), The Times of India (January 2024), The Economic Times (2023), The Economic Times (2015), MINT (2018), Silicon Valley Business Journal... There are plenty more, largely in Indian based business news. In LexisNexis, I'm getting about 600 results for newspaper articles that mention GlobalLogic, and will continue to look through for in-depth coverage. While frequent coverage is routine, given the past result was to keep the article and that there is still sustained journalistic interest, it makes sense to keep the article and improve it, rather than delete it. Given the limited engagement so far, I suggest at least relisting to give more time for research and discussion. Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 20:35, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Delete.Redirect to Hitachi#GlobalLogic – Per WP:NOTADVERT. This article is entirely dependent on routine WP:DOGBITESMAN coverage and press releases. It reads like it is just a list of its acquisitions. This company does nothing and is not notable. Aneirinn (talk) 00:34, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

The subject of the article has no notability so fails WP:GNG and I can’t find any WP:SIGCOV. Quite a bit of the article is written in a promotional tone. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 17:30, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Company that fails WP:NCORP and WP:SIGCOV. Apart from the L.A Weekly source which is now a dead-end i don't see any other sources that show that the subject is WP:N. Jamiebuba (talk) 16:03, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment I am finding other sources in Newspapers.com and will add them to the article. The article definitely needs editing ("passed the leadership torch" is not encyclopaedic!!), but there may be enough sources for it to meet WP:NCORP. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:40, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep I have added sources (and also found the archive url of the LA Weekly source). There is now enough for this to meet WP:NCORP. I have deleted some info for which I could not find independent sources - some still remains to be sourced. I've also deleted most of the non-encyclopaedic wording, I think.

Fails notability, it was deleted once Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amirreza Borzooei recreated again first under a different title to trick wikipedia. this guy won only few medals in age group competitions. no big senior achievement, the article tries to sell his medals as senior medals.
