Last AfD in 2017 was no consensus. I tend to agree with one of the delete voters' comments from last time "Lacks reviews, sales, charting, depth of coverage. Current sources just verify it's existence but don't provide any real independent coverage". An added Amazon source hardly adds to notability, Australian Music Online is just a database listing. Still fails WP:NALBUMS. LibStar (talk) 03:55, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are articles for Dakota State for every season from 2015 to 2024. Yes, indeed, regarding your first point, which is why AfD shouldn't be the first move on articles like. It would be better to recruit editors like SS2027, who created this run of Dakota State articles, and others at WP:CFB. Is the coverage of Dakota State so sparse it can't even justify a decade article? In theory, maybe, but probably not considering your own creations like 2022 Ohio Athletic Conference football season and 2022 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. Jweiss11 (talk) 01:58, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I've created Dakota State Trojans football, 2010–2019, merged all the content from the 2015 through 2019 articles, and redirected the 2016 through 2019 season articles. Would you withdraw this nomination, and then we can redirect this article there as well? Jweiss11 (talk) 02:23, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a fan of Dakota State, so I have liked to do my part to help record their history. I completely understand when a page I create, especially when they are just an NAIA team, gets taken down for not relevant enough. I'm just an amateur at this and like to do it as a hobby, so I don't fully understand what it takes for a page to be relevant enough. I like the idea of a decades article and would gladly contribute to that. I'd definitely like to do a 'Dakota State Trojans football, 1970–79' article too, as that's when they won 5 conference championships, a bowl game, and had an undefeated season. SS2027 (talk) 05:51, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for creating a target article. I have no objection to the proposed merger as an ATD, but withdrawal is not available since there is a delete vote. Cbl62 (talk) 01:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And thus this is AFD is now is a futile exercise in wiki-bureaucracy. No matter what arguments anyone makes here now, there's no reason not to redirect 2015 Dakota State Trojans football team to Dakota State Trojans football, 2010–2019.

Typically, decade articles run from the beginning to the end of a decade. E.g., 2010-2019 or 2020-2025.

I am nominating this article for deletion because it don't prove the notability of the subject, Utsav Plus, as required by Wikipedia's general notability guideline WP:GNG. The article lacks reliable, independent sources that provide significant coverage of Utsav Plus. The single source cited is a primary source (a YouTube video from the channel itself), which is insufficient to establish notability. The article makes claims about the channel's launch and programming, but these are not supported by any independent verification. A redirect to StarPlus might be considerable. However, given the current lack of independent sourcing, deletion is the appropriate outcome. UNITED BLASTERS (talk) 03:21, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of an actor and radio host, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing inclusion criteria for actors or radio hosts, and a similarly poorly sourced article and semi-advertorialized about his show.
The attempted notability claim as an actor is a few small bit parts as a child actor in the 1980s, and the attempted notability claim as a radio host is small-market local radio stations, neither of which are "inherently" notable enough to guarantee a Wikipedia article without WP:GNG-worthy sourcing for them -- but the article is referenced entirely to IMDb and other primary sources that are not support for notability, and has been flagged for notability concerns since 2017 without improvement.

Indiscriminate collection of links to Wikidata, a user-generated database, which is not a reliable source. There is more to say about this particular list, but I am not going there because that would likely just distract from the main point. Randykitty (talk) 18:57, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - So, returning to think about this some more. WP:NLIST states One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable source further nothing that the entirety of the list does not need to be noted just the group of things. So it would appear that a simple way to establish if a list of learned societies is notable is to see if reliable sources consider them as a group. Here are some references that do that 1 and 2 and 3
Clearly Learned society is a notable idea and reliable sources have considered them as a group. It also seems likely that a list sorted by country consisting of many blue wikilinks would be useful for navigation - for example by a reader wanting to see which learned society exists in their country.

Well we are to make judgements against the policies and guidelines of en.wiki which I did.

JMWt (talk) 20:00, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikidata is not irrelevant here. Fact is that this list cannot be edited n WP. If one would want to change anything that is currently displayed in this list here, that is completely impossible and one has to go to WD and figure out how to make the desired change there! In addition, user-generated databases are not acceptable as sources and creating articles that are more or less automatically derived from such a database is a complete no-no. --Randykitty (talk) 17:26, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The fact that it can't be edited within en.wiki (which I didn't appreciate before) seems like an issue, albeit a solvable one if we don't like that.
    But this thing about "user-generated" content seems to me like we are talking about two different things. Usually when we talk about "user-generated" sources we are pointing to a dif which has given a reference which is a blog or other unedited and self-published material. I don't think when we talk about it we usually are meaning wikidata.
    Second, all lists on en.wiki are essentially user-generated because there are very few full lists in reliable sources for the majority of things we have lost pages for here. Also Wikipedia:NLIST doesn't even require a reliable source to show all of the things in the list.
    So we are really just back to a complaint about the formatting that wikidata produces and whether that's suitable for a page on en.wiki. JMWt (talk) 16:40, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Those are the districts of the Aden governorate which implies that they're the same thing) 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 18:55, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a source saying they're the same. We have sourcing saying the governorate exists; you need sourcing saying it doesn't. Listing things on two articles does not qualify. --Golbez (talk) 18:57, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Or rather, simply saying that there's similar info on both doesn't work. That might be a reason normally to merge articles, but subdivisions are considered inherently notable, so that doesn't work in this case. I can find several official bodies through a google search using the term "Aden Governorate," so I think we need some kind of affirmative sourcing that the governorate either does not exist, or is the same as the city. --Golbez (talk) 19:14, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Golbez: Just FYI I want this to be merged and redirected to Aden. Aden Governorate is a thing, the same thing as Aden and I'd like to see the source that says that they are not 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 19:18, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Usually when one article is mostly just info from another article, they can be merged, but since governorates are inherently article-worthy, in this case the solution is to build out the deficient article. From what I can tell, the City of Aden and Aden Governorate are separate actual entities, and therefore, get separate articles. --Golbez (talk) 02:40, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Clarityfiend I've read both documents and did not find a single instance where they showed any difference between the city and the governorate. In fact, the UNHabitat document "Aden City" showed nothing but the governorate. Implying that they're the same thing. This is just like the Greenland article case where it is both about the adminstrative region and the Island itself (Btw thank you for that document, it will be helpful in expanding the Aden article) 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 08:38, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Are you blind? I gave you the exact quotes. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:54, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Clarityfiend The UN quote is vague and the paper uses a map of the governorate when talking about the city and the Bergof foundation talks about the Aden port and not the Aden city... 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 09:24, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The UN quote is vague? How? Is Aden the "administrative centre" of ... itself? Don't be deliberately obtuse. It is what it is. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
At this point, we simply have to put the onus on you: Do you have sourcing that says the city of Aden is the same as the governorate? Not an "implication," a plain statement of fact. If so, supply. If not, then I think this discussion has run its course. --Golbez (talk) 19:16, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The sources are crummy (we have a claim that the Aden Governorate had a population of 589k in 2004 and 1.9M in 2011, and 3X growth in 7 years seems implausible).

Non-notable. Article is a summary of a book about SES (company) which was written by(/for) SES. I cannot find sources to show that this book is notable, and I do not see that it meets any of the other criteria in WP:NBOOK. The only coverage I have found besides that from SES itself is in the form of two reviews (both already referenced in the article). One is a very short review from a personal blog [13], and the other is a TechRadar article [14] which appeared in the Wotsat column, to which the authors of the book were contributors ("Written by industry-leading journalists and Wotsat contributors [...]").

  • Comment: I can't find anything either - I'm debating between a redirect to the Astra page or a delete. SES and its Astra satellites seem to be pretty well known enough that Springer decided to hire people to write about them, however they're not so well known that I would anticipate someone really seeking this book out on Wikipedia. In other words, redirects are cheap, but if it's not something people would plausibly search for, then there's no point in having it. I'm leaning towards a delete for these.

    I'm not sure how many people would be searching for the books, but of the three I think Beyond Frontiers is more worthy of a redirect than the others because it appears to (have) be(en) an SES motto (at one point): Press release Design company portfolio SES video. They own a trademark for it. I don't really think anyone would be searching for that either, but it did come up more than any of the three books when I was looking for sources.

  • Delete. After a cursory search of coverage, it is pretty clear this book is extremely niche and has very, very little secondary coverage. There is one source that gives the book a mention [15] but that is essentially it. Any reviews of the book might help in establishing notability but otherwise essentially all of the article's sources are primary or local, which don't factor into its notability. It lacks the widespread and significant secondary coverage required for notability.  GuardianH  00:58, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria, which says:

    Keeping in mind that all articles must conform with the policy on verifiability to reliable sources, and that non-independent and self-published sources alone are not sufficient to establish notability; web-specific content may be notable based on meeting one of the following criteria:

    • The content has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations except for media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site or trivial coverage, such as a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of Internet addresses and site, newspaper articles that simply report the times at which such content is updated or made available, or the content descriptions in directories or online stores.

Not notable video game; not reliable reviews, covering etc. Insillaciv (talk) 15:44, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm one of the developers of Deadly Quiet, and I wanted to provide some clarification based on the discussion here. The game has received significant coverage from major publications like IGN, Vice, GameSpot, and Bloody Disgusting, AUTOMATION MEDIA, not as paid promotion, but as independent journalism. While Deadly Quiet is upcoming, it has already gained substantial industry recognition, being featured prominently across gaming media. Wikipedia’s guidelines emphasize independent coverage, and the references cited meet that standard. Given the widespread media attention and player engagement, I believe the article meets notability criteria. I appreciate the discussion and respect Wikipedia's guidelines, but I hope this clarification helps in making a fair decision. Thanks for your time!

Not meeting WP:NSCHOOL; directories and primary self published sources Insillaciv (talk) 15:50, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I respectfully disagree with the nomination for deletion and believe Si Ri Panya International School meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines under WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOOL. As the article’s creator, I’d like to address the concerns about sourcing and demonstrate the school’s notability.

The nominator states that the article relies on "directories and primary self-published sources." While some references, like the school’s website (ref #9), are primary and used for basic factual verification (e.g., facilities, tuition), the article also includes several independent, reliable secondary sources providing significant coverage beyond routine mentions:

- *The Thaiger* (ref #3) reported on the school’s 2019 accreditation as Koh Phangan’s first fully licensed international school, a milestone that sets it apart from other local institutions. This isn’t a directory listing but a news article discussing its impact on the island’s education landscape. - *Expat Life in Thailand* (ref #4) similarly covered the school’s opening and accreditation, offering context about its role in serving expatriate and local families, which goes beyond a mere announcement. - *WhichSchoolAdvisor* (ref #1 and #6) provides an in-depth review of the school’s curriculum, facilities, and fees, written by education experts, not the school itself. This is a detailed, independent analysis, not a directory or self-published source. - *Phanganist* (ref #2 and #5) features articles on the school’s leadership and 21st-century curriculum, written by a local news outlet, offering evaluative content rather than a simple listing.

These sources collectively demonstrate "significant coverage" in independent, secondary publications, addressing the school’s founding, accreditation, and educational approach—key criteria under WP:GNG. The school’s status as the first accredited international school on Koh Phangan (a notable achievement in a small, tourist-driven region) and its Eco-Schools Green Flag Award (ref #12, endorsed by WWF) further distinguish it from typical schools, warranting broader attention.

While directories like the International Schools Database (ref #14) or membership lists (e.g., ISAT, ref #11) are cited, they supplement—not replace—the secondary coverage, verifying the school’s affiliations and demographics. The Precious Plastic initiative (ref #13), a globally recognized program, also ties the school to a wider environmental movement, potentially meriting further coverage if editors can expand on it.

I acknowledge that some sourcing could be strengthened, and I’m actively seeking additional independent references (e.g., Thai newspapers like *Bangkok Post*, *The Nation Thailand*, or expat-focused media such as *Koh Samui Times*) to bolster the article. I’ve already begun this search and will update the article with any new findings during the AfD period, if allowed. However, the existing sources already establish notability beyond what a typical school directory provides. I’d welcome input from other editors to refine the article rather than delete it outright. Given its unique role and documented coverage, Si Ri Panya International School deserves a place on Wikipedia. Thafactfinder (talk) 10:04, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete — Article sources fail WP:SIRS. Only one source has a chance of passing, but not enough under WP:ORGCRIT. The article creator looks to have used an LLM for their argument.

  • Phanganist - Article written in cooperation with staff and in a promotional tone, fails independent and reliable.
  • Expat Life in Thailand - Dead link. Archive here. Press release that shows contact information at bottom, fails independent.
  • Nomad Mum - Fails reliable. Blog farm.
  • Cambridge International - Directory of schools affiliated with this organization, fails significant and independent.
  • WWF Eco-Schools - Directory of schools affiliated with this organization, fails significant and independent.
  • Precious Plastic - Fails significant, directory.
  • International Schools Directory.- Fails significant, directory.
  • Vegan Magazine - Dead link. Archive here. Blog, fails reliable.
  • PADI - Press release, fails independent.
  • ThaiSuggest - Dead link. Archive here. Blog, fails reliable.
  • TheThaiger - looks to be the best source on this list, having a large following. might fail reliability, but not from the local area.
