There is no doubt that the subject is notable. However, the article in its current state is not sufficient to stand independently. Previously, I added content from a CC-BY licensed source, but it was removed due to incompatibility. I have checked multiple revisions, but most of the content remains unverified and unsuitable. Therefore, I propose deleting this article and redirecting it to Shibli Nomani.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ –𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 23:52, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

A chain with 10 locations just does not seem notable enough to me. There is some coverage, but it does not seem significant to me. One of the references used is an Ubereats link. Aŭstriano (talk) 15:09, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

- Comment Per ads and advertorials in Newspapers.com, it started in the 1970s in Mexico, and by 1998 also had locations in Guatemala, El Salvador and Panama (to add to Colombia and Costa Rica as stated in this article).

- It means exactly what it says; and your argument very much was rebutted, in both its erroneous claim and its nonexistent policy basis. It just has been, yet again. The first time it was rebutted was about 20 years ago when the community heavily pushed back against the GRider sockpuppet's "schoolwatch". Indeed, the GRider sockpuppet xyrself was one of the loudest voices claiming that things weren't going the blanket notability way in actual practice. Uncle G (talk) 01:34, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. Universities established by statute have almost always been considered to be notable. Clear precedent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:05, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- As per the discussion in the previous AfD when you made this argument, the idea that we use the precedent of previous outcomes has been rejected by the community. The SCHOOLOUTCOMES RfC close made the point:
Citing SCHOOLOUTCOMES in an AfD makes the circular argument "We should keep this school because we always keep schools". This argument has been rejected by the community.
And even if we did follow precedent, this same university article was previously deleted (and is not alone), so we do delete these, and the precedent is that we did delete this one. When do we delete them? "Almost always ... considered to be notable" is actually correct. Usually a university meets the appropriate notability guidelines, because they are big and important organisations that people write about. Almost always, perhaps. But when the notability guidelines are not met (NCORP being the appropriate SNG for this one), then such articles are deleted. It is the notability guideline that matters, and not what we did for different pages on different subjects. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:36, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Article about an upcoming new opera, not reliably sourced as passing inclusion criteria. As always, operas are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about them -- but this is "referenced" solely to the self-published website of the opera company that's producing it, with no media coverage or analysis about it shown at all.
No prejudice against recreation later in the year if and when it does have adequate GNG-worthy coverage to satisfy inclusion standards, but a single primary source is not sufficient for it to already have an article now. Bearcat (talk) 16:08, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep With a Nobel prize-winning librettist and notable composer, I don't think we need a crystal ball to know that there will be SIGCOV of this opera, whether it's a success or a flop. Its premiere is 5 days away - why delete it when it can be expanded and have more sources added in less than a week? The NRK source found by Bearian could be added now; the other source is paywalled for me. (No, I can't read Norwegian - I just put it in Google Translate, which is good enough to provide the info that it was commissioned by Eivind Gullberg Jensen, the current director of the Bergen Opera, and Frank Kjosås will take the title role, despite never having sung in an opera before ...)

- Real Communist Party of India (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I created this article back in 2004, when online sourcing was more scarce than today. So to recap, in the 1991 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election and 1991 Assam Legislative Assembly election three candidates appears in election results from the Election Commission of India as candidates of the RCPI, Real Communist Party of India. Looking at the constituencies, there is clearly a linkage to the Revolutionary Communist Party of India. This is the same year as two different Revolutionary Communist Party of India appears in ECI records - RCPI(Rasik Bhatt) and RCPI(Gouranga Sinha). See [3], [4]
The supposed Real Communist Party of India (listed as RCPI) candidate in the Santipur Assembly constituency, Asim Ghosh, was clearly Left Front-supported. But nowhere is there any mention of the Real Communist Party of India having joined the LF. If the Real Communist Party of India was a separate LF member or ally, that should have come up in CPI(M) media (like the memoirs of Jyoti Basu, for instance). Notably Santipur had been held by Bimalananda Mukherjee of the Revolutionary Communist Party of India in the 1987 election.
The work Election Results of West Bengal: Statistics & Analysis, 1952-1991, compiled by the CPI(M) West Bengal State Committee and arguably an authoritative source on all issues on the LF states that Asim Ghosh in 1991 was a Revolutionary Communist Party of India candidate.
Today I encountered copies of the Mizoram Gazette from 1989 and 1991 which includes ECI party registration listing. The registered Real Communist Party of India has its address at the home of a K. Kvankata Subhaiah in Kovur, Nellore district. The listing also includes registrations of RCPI(RB) and RCPI(GS) with addresses in Calcutta.
It's very likely that the Kovur-based Real Communist Party of India had nothing to do with the Revolutionary Communist Party of India. Presumably it was a one-man outfit. Presumably the listing of the 3 candidates as 'RCPI' rather than RCPI(RB) or RCPI(GS) candidates by ECI in 1991 would have been an error. There have been other such cases, such as the mix-up between Biplobi Bangla Congress and Bharater Biplobi Communist Party in earlier election.
The Mizoram Gazette copies also mentions a 'Communist Party of India (Realism)' based in Calcutta. Perhaps the moniker 'Realist Communist Party of India' originates from a mix-up with that party. Soman (talk) 23:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- With a PROD, you'd have no means of fleshing out the rationale for deletion. I'm not really expecting a lot of debate here, but without the deletion rationale documented it could occur that the article be recreated by someone making the same assumption as I did back in the days (speculating that RCPI and RCPI(RB) were separate parties in West Bengal in 1991). So in the longer run, doing this via AfD might be more time efficient. --Soman (talk) 10:16, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Absence of reliable, in-depth coverage of both the 2001–2009 party, which this article's scope was originally limited to, and the 2023–present party, details of which were added after Freedom Party of British Columbia (2023) was deleted following a discussion (thus an attempt to circumvent the deletion process). Both parties were insignificant in the provincial elections they contested in, garnering less than a thousandth of a percent of the popular vote and barely exceeding 1 percent of a riding's vote in their best results.
The sources cited for the 2023 iteration of the party focus on the anti-SOGI advocacy of the party leader as one part of the much wider anti-SOGI movement in Surrey, British Columbia. The party is not covered in-depth nor the focus. Yue🌙 23:51, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

or Draftify (ATD) only if COI issues are resolved.The article really needs a "Do OVER". Everything in the "Election results" section was deleted as a BLP violation. Concerns: The article was previously deleted. Although created by Kevintoronto, 28.3% of the content was edited by Amrit.Birring. There seems to be an obvious conflict of interest. Draft:Freedom Party of British Columbia 2023 has been submitted to WP:AFC, which will likely suffer the same issues as it has been declined publication several times. NOTE: The subject does have some notability. A minority party can create a conundrum in those political circles. The party and apparent COI editor did show up with candidates and results in Surrey North, Surrey-Newton, and likely more. The party has a platform and, as of March 2025, was listed among "Registered Political Parties". For inquiring minds. -- Otr500 (talk) 08:56, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
Comments
[edit]- I removed "draftify". The sources: I could not find significant and independent reliable sources, that at least is "mainly" about the "party that was". My comments above accidentally crossed up the defunct party with the 2023 party. While a defunct corporation can be temporarily "revived" (under certain conditions), no sources show that a defunct political party can be revived. The party, which will inevitably involve names of living persons, requires better sources for compliance.
- Current sources:
- 1)- Magher, Jennifer is a non-English source that is about Counter-protesters for LGBTQ+ rights and opposition protesters demanding the removal of policies that integrate sexual orientation and gender identity into B.C. schools.
- 2)- Thayarapan, Arrthy is more about "Opponents of sexual orientation and gender-identity policies bring Surrey school board meeting to halt"
- 3)- [a] more about clashes, [b] "Petition filed to recall Surrey MLA Rachna Singh", [c] "Protesters clash in Surrey over SOGI in B.C. schools"
- 4)- Bower, Angela, "Protesters clash in Surrey over SOGI in B.C. schools"
- 5)- Burns, Anna, "Saturday’s anti-SOGI protest in Surrey was a missed opportunity to educate, says Surrey teacher" more protests and a missed opportunity.
- The creating editor might have missed that this is a political piece. This, in my opinion, places it in the middle of What Wikipedia is Not. "NOT" a place for promotion, advocacy, place to right great wrongs, a place to advance political causes, a newspaper, and certainly not a political battleground. Such articles must be written neutrally. While a political pundit could attempt to argue away some of these, it only takes one to justify removal.-- Otr500 (talk) 16:10, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Otr500: I didn't even catch the possible COI edits. Seems to me like the article for the 2023–present party was deleted after a discussion (as noted above) and the article's creator (possibly the leader himself), just moved some of the content to this nomination's article, which was originally just about the 2001–2009 party. As you pointed out though, most of the existing sources are about the political protests relevant to (but not focused on) the leader of the 2023–present party. Remove that and all the COI edits, and you're left with nothing of significance for either iteration of the party name. Yue🌙 22:03, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

- Aydoh8, Thank you. You are right about nothing being left if all the problematic sources and edits were deleted. I dig pretty deep, trying to prove that an article has merit to remain. My laptop was getting old and would bog down after sometimes opening three browsers and around 40 to 60 tabs, so I purchased a new PC. I removed the ATD not just because of the COI (an issue and the user has had previous notification), but I agree there appears to be some side-stepping. I didn't dig into any COI timelines. Some people don't know. If someone has been advised and made edits, it is usually caught. There is a Username policy and an organization leader, not even counting if they are an SPA, might end up with someone curious looking at the "User creation log" unnumbered (Bulleted) #4. Whew! Since I am not an Admin, I will bail out of this before I get a migraine. Again, thanks. -- Otr500 (talk) 05:32, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep as a formerly registered political party which ran candidates, ergo notable. This is the sort of topic which our readers have a right to expect a serious encyclopedia project to cover. Carrite (talk) 18:25, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- A political party is not inherently notable because it existed and ran candidates (WP:ORGSIG). Wikipedia is not a database for minor political parties and candidates. The first criteria of the general notability guideline is "Contain[s] significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth." I argue that this article should be deleted because neither party that used this article's name had or has that kind of coverage. Yue🌙 05:45, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Also worth noting again that all the sources mentioned in this current discussion are about the 2023 iteration of the party name, whose article was deleted after an earlier AfD for similar reasons, then possibly the party leader himself added his party's details to this article, which was about another non-notable party that existed from 2001 to 2009. Thus, the discussion to delete the 2023 party's article was already had despite the bulk of this discussion being focused on it, and the deletion of the 2001–2009 party's article (which this article was until recently) is the one that hasn't been had yet. At least the 2023 had trivial mentions in routine election cycle coverage; the 2001–2009 party has no existing sources at all. Yue🌙 05:51, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Making the global final on its own isn't enough to make the subject notable if he doesn't already have in-depth coverage from multiple independent reliable sources. A google search doesn't yield any coverage of him, though perhaps he is gaining local coverage in China as a result of making a global final in his home country.

- The SINA article goes far beyond the subject's participation at the world championships, going in detail about his life since age 11. Subject also has a long history of notable performance before the World Champs this year going back over nine years, as detailed in the article. Subject is at the peak of his career and was only one second off the Chinese record, and I would expect that several more pieces in will be written about him following the 2025 Diamond League season which begins in China this year. Based on his regional medals I think there's definitely more than what I've found – Google is banned in China so I feel like a fool trying to search his name on Google and expecting relevant results, but even given that major caveat I think we've been able to construct a WP:BASIC-compliant article so far. --Habst (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm, that article is indeed very good...I can't let the predicting the future slide, though – we have to decide now whether he is notable based on sources that exist now, and the state of the article is irrelevant to his notability.

We have one (1) source with significant coverage and it's not included in the article yet, putting us very far from a WP:HEY. Still no-one has been able to explain how a 14th-place finish meets any NATH criterion. And, to my astonishment, not even Cunard was able to find more sources. I am unstriking my delete !vote.

The only coverage I could find on this album is already present in the article, and I'm not convinced that's enough for notability. Half of the sources are routine news coverage, which isn't typically counted toward notability unless there's an overwhelming amount of it, and the other half are reviews from websites which I'm not convinced of the reliability of. Boolin Tunes maybe has potential, but I'd need to see it discussed first, while New Transcendence and Metal Noise are both blogs with very few writers and no evidence of an editorial policy or anything else that makes a proper publication reliable. If, at best, there is one reliable review for this album, I don't believe the subject is notable, and you can understand why I redirected it in the first place and think that it should remain a redirect.

- That depends on what the sources are. If it's more routine news coverage then probably not (oftentimes, reporting on album announcements/single releases are just based on press releases and don't contain much original reporting, so they aren't highly valued in terms of reliability). If there are reviews I missed, or anything else based on original writing, then there's a better chance. Some of that could also come out in the future; a huge amount of an album's notability comes about around the time of its release, but there are also opportunities later on such as year-end lists or late chart appearances.

Semi-advertorialized article about an actor, not properly sourced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they've had roles -- the notability test isn't in listing acting roles, it's in showing that they've received WP:GNG-worthy coverage and analysis about them and their performances. But the roles listed here are all minor supporting and guest roles, and the article is referenced entirely to primary sources and directory entries (which are not support for notability) rather than any evidence of GNG-building coverage about him in reliable sources.

Jordano53 21:50, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- It will — or at least should — surprise exactly no-one that a river landing was exactly what this was: Turner's Landing in fact, as marked on early 20th century maps, as listed in Mississippi River Commission reports and mid-19th-century USACE benchmark listings, and as listed in Louis Adam's 1877 Directory of Points and Landings on Rivers and Bayous. See Landings on All the Western and Southern Rivers and Bayous at the Internet Archive for example. The cherry on top in this case is that this was not originally claimed to be a populated place. The 1980s GNIS listed this as a "locale" not as a "ppl". This is more "unincorporated community" lies that Wikipedia has been telling the world. Uncle G (talk) 02:06, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- Hi GrabUp, The BLP clearly passes WP:NPOL, WP:POLITICIAN which says "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." Also WP:BIO1E is not applicable here, it says, "...the degree of significance of the event itself and of the individual's role within it should both be considered." A Mayor's election is a significant event in itself, like the election of an MLA. Or else, over 3000 pages created for MLAs after just one election would have been dismissed under WP:BIO1E. Per say, Mayors are not entitled for a page but if they have WP:SIGCOV, they pass general notability: SIGCOV says: Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. HT, and this HINDI have indepth coverage. This one in Week is a bylined article where her interview was published. This is not election news... it is almost two years after the election (Not one event) and there are many refs exist in vernacular press. I have good faith in your intent as I have been following the great work you are doing. But of late, I am taking part in deletion discussions, as I feel many editors are nominating articles that easily pass guidelines and just two or three editors participate in AfD and they are deleted.

News about the organization has been presented in the Toronto Star as well 5 .This coverage spans at least a decade, so it's not a small burst.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The article fails to meet the notability criteria outlined in WP:BIO and the general notability guideline (GNG). While Aruna Gujral holds a leadership position at ICCROM, there are no reliable, independent secondary sources that provide significant coverage of her. The article relies heavily on institutional bios and primary sources affiliated with her employers (FAO, ICCROM), and her name is only briefly mentioned in the one FAO reference without in-depth treatment.
Additionally, the article appears to be autobiographical or written by someone with insider knowledge, based on its detailed and promotional tone, which raises neutrality and conflict of interest concerns. Holding a high-level position does not confer automatic notability unless there is independent, sustained coverage — which is lacking here.
Therefore, the article does not satisfy Wikipedia’s core inclusion criteria and should be deleted. Johnj1995 (talk) 17:48, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Non-notable battle; article is cobbled together from passing mentions in various sources and padded out with the "background" and "aftermath" sections. Sources that do exist do not properly verify the content. For example, the date of 10 March 1748 is cited to a book that only says "In a battle fought near Sirhind early in 1748 Qamruddin received a fatal wound but his son Muin ul-Mulk defeated Ahmad Shah Abdali with the support of Safdar Jang." Indian campaign of Ahmad Shah Durrani is a possible redirect target, but I'm not sure it's a good one, and it may be better just to delete this.

LibStar (talk) 23:34, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- I dislike relying on topic-specific notability guidelines in general, but if you're going to cite NATH, then NATH #1 is the prong applicable to this case. It says
Finished top 8 in a competition at the highest level outside of the Olympic Games and world championships. Individual events in these championships must contain either several heats or extended fields (e.g., European Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games, or any of the 6 World Major Marathons).
Because the West Asian Championships is an international championship that includes several heats in track events (see World Athletics), the subject's silver medal fits the bill. --Habst (talk) 13:32, 27 March 2025 (UTC)- No, it does not, because the West Asian Championships is a woefully minor, not a major international competition.

Whether or not a competition is "minor" has always been dependent on regional context; over 300 million people live in West Asia and for them it's a major international competition. I agree with what you said earlier that there are top-25 World Championship athletes without articles that are higher priority, but these AfDs are time-sensitive while there is no time limit to work on those other articles. --Habst (talk) 14:54, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- I dislike relying on topic-specific notability guidelines in general, but if you're going to cite NATH, then NATH #1 is the prong applicable to this case. It says
- WP:NATH #2 states "Finished top 3 in any other major senior-level international competition (this includes prestigious small field meets, e.g., IAAF Diamond League/IAAF Golden League meets, less-prestigious large-scale meets, e.g., Asian Games, and any IAAF Gold Label Road Race that is not explicitly mentioned above)" The West asian championships does not fulfil this.

Can't find anything in a BEFORE, and the current revision's sources do not establish notability. 1 is an entry in a list of 13, 2 is in entry in a list of 15, 3 is only about one EP (not the group as a whole) and is from a student-run paper, 4-10 mention the group in passing, 11 does not mention the group, 12 is a YouTube video of a song, 13-14 do not mention the group, 15 is an album, 16 is a song, and 17-25 do not mention the group.

The review notes: "Galaxy Xtreme Tuner软件由影驰自主研发,并随该厂的GeForce 9600GT HDMI显卡附送,暂时只适用于该显卡。打开软件的控制面板,大家会发现其界面与其他厂商的显卡超频软件颇为相似,主要提供Shader频率、图形核心频率及显存频率调整功能,前两者还可设置为非同步模式进行调整,而且幅度极大。"
From Google Translate: "Galaxy Xtreme Tuner software is independently developed by Galaxy and comes with the GeForce 9600GT HDMI graphics card of the factory. It is only applicable to this graphics card for the time being. Open the control panel of the software, you will find that its interface is quite similar to other manufacturers' graphics card overclocking software, mainly providing shader frequency, graphics core frequency and video memory frequency adjustment functions. The first two can also be set to asynchronous mode for adjustment, and the amplitude is very large."
The article notes: "根据笔者个人所作测试来看,在默认模式中把图形核心和内存频率提高,并把Shader频率设置为与核心频率同步,而风扇供电则保持为“Auto”模式。测试结果发现,预设频率为650/1800MHz的影驰9600GT显卡的最高图形核心超频能力为777MHz,显存则可超频到2266MHz,3DMark06测试得分由11382分提高到11715分,性能增幅为2.9%。"
From Google Translate: "According to the author's personal test, the graphics core and memory frequencies are increased in the default mode, and the Shader frequency is set to synchronize with the core frequency, while the fan power supply remains in "Auto" mode. The test results show that the maximum graphics core overclocking capability of the Galaxy 9600GT graphics card with a preset frequency of 650/1800MHz is 777MHz, and the video memory can be overclocked to 2266MHz. The 3DMark06 test score increased from 11382 points to 11715 points, and the performance increase was 2.9%."

The article notes: "影驰9600GT中将版显卡采用了非公版PCB设计,使用了全封闭式电感搭配日本化工固态电容,整体做工扎实,用料非常不错。... 踏入2009年,首先值得我们记忆的就有影驰9600GT中将,这款显卡在08年的12月初就以699元的低价示人,这款显卡拥有强劲的供电配置、相当有个性的散热系统,加上默认高频以及低廉的售价,在09年的市场上就率先火了一把!以笔者的记忆,当时可谓受到众多的DIYer关注,几乎全国都出现有价无货的场面。而影驰9600GT中将在2009年的率先获得成功,除了产品的质量之外,很大程度上也要多得影驰市场运营上的成熟,与对消费者消费独到理解。而笔者认为影驰9600GT中将如果失去了一群出色的市场营销人员,那么它的确会失色不少。"
From Google Translate: "The GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition graphics card uses a non-public version PCB design, uses a fully enclosed inductor with a Japanese chemical solid capacitor, and has a solid overall workmanship and very good materials. ... Entering 2009, the first thing worth remembering is the GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition. This graphics card was shown at the beginning of December 2008 at a low price of 699 yuan. This graphics card has a strong power supply configuration, a very unique cooling system, a default high frequency and a low price. It was the first to become popular in the market in 2009! As far as I remember, it attracted the attention of many DIYers at that time, and there was a situation of being out of stock almost all over the country. The GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition was the first to succeed in 2009. In addition to the quality of the product, it was also largely due to the maturity of GALAX's market operations and its unique understanding of consumer consumption. And the author believes that if the GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition lost a group of outstanding marketing personnel, it would indeed lose a lot of color."

The review notes: "影驰的显卡性价比一项很不错,特别是近期热卖的GTS250骨灰上将版,上市价为899元,而且还送NV原装键盘,有着738/2200MHz的核心显存频率,性价比非常好。影驰 GTS250骨灰上将版其核心采用55nm制程工艺,拥有128个流处理器,支持Phsyx物理引擎、CUDA并行运算,可以为游戏玩家提供更真实的游戏体验,性能相当强劲。制程工艺的提高,意味着产品成本的降低与功耗、发热量的降低,这无疑使得产品性价比更高了。"
From Google Translate: "GALAX graphics cards have a very good price-performance ratio, especially the GTS250 Hardcore Admiral Edition, which is popular recently. The listing price is 899 yuan, and it also comes with an NV original keyboard. It has a core memory frequency of 738/2200MHz, which is very cost-effective. The GALAX GTS250 Hardcore Admiral Edition uses a 55nm process technology, has 128 stream processors, supports Phsyx physics engine and CUDA parallel computing, and can provide gamers with a more realistic gaming experience. The performance is quite strong. The improvement of the process technology means the reduction of product costs and power consumption and heat generation, which undoubtedly makes the product more cost-effective."

The review notes: "影驰9600GT中将版采用独特的非公版设计,PCB颜色沿用了影驰出道以来管用的深蓝色。影驰这款中将版Geforce9600GT并没有因为使用非公版而降低产品规格,无论在产品PCB设计还是用料做工上都不亚于公版产品。影驰9600GT中将版采用台积电(TSMC)使用65nm工艺设计的G94-300-A1核心,其拥有5.5亿晶体管和64个流处理器及12个光栅处理器,默认核心、Shader频率分别为公版的650MHz/1625MHz。"
From Google Translate: "GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition adopts a unique non-public version design, and the PCB color continues to use the dark blue that has been used since GALAX debuted. GALAX's Lieutenant Edition Geforce9600GT has not lowered its product specifications due to the use of a non-public version. Both the product PCB design and the materials and workmanship are no less than the public version. GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition uses the G94-300-A1 core designed by TSMC using a 65nm process. It has 550 million transistors, 64 stream processors and 12 raster processors. The default core and shader frequencies are 650MHz/1625MHz of the public version."

The review notes: "影驰 9600gso中将版是影驰将官军衔系列中比较热门的一款,采用三星1.2ns gddr3颗粒,容量384mb,实现575╱1600mhz的默认频率。它沿用了影驰8800系列时代起采用的经典非公版pcb,供电设计更加安全。来自酷冷的龙骨风格热管散热器有着比公版更高的散热效率和更低的噪音水平,是这款显卡最大的看点所在。 "
From Google Translate: "GALAX 9600GSO Lieutenant General Edition is a popular model in the GALAX general rank series. It uses Samsung 1.2NS GDDRR3 particles, 384MB capacity, and achieves a default frequency of 575/1600MHz. It uses the classic non-public version PCB adopted by GALAX 8800 series, and the power supply design is safer. The keel style heat pipe radiator from Cool Cool has higher heat dissipation efficiency and lower noise level than the public version, which is the biggest highlight of this graphics card."

For now, sources read like coverage of an event with little detailed information about Also, Inc which makes sense given there is little info beyond its focus on electric "micromobility". A (sub)section under Rivian would be enough for now.

Was recently redirectly through an AfD, then recreated by the lone voice in that discussion in favor of keeping. The same issues still apply. There is zero in-depth coverage of a flag by this name. Restored the redirect and was promptly reverted, so here we are again. Pinging all the editors who participated in the first AfD: Syphax98, Red Phoenician, OwenX, Toadspike, 4meter4.

- Diff of additions since the redirect. It looks like several sources have been added. "Complete Flags of the World" is a one-sentence mention that the cedar tree has long been a symbol of the Maronites. "The orange and the ‘Cross in the Crescent’: imagining Palestine in 1929" is a good journal article, but where it mentions Maronites it is mainly focused on the cedar symbol and how it ended up on the Lebanese flag. "Why Do Catholics Eat Fish on Friday?" is the same, explaining why the modern Lebanese flag has a cedar on it. "Double vision in Beirut" is a one-sentence mention in an opinion piece. Page 262 of "Encyclopedia of Stateless Nations: Ethnic and National Groups Around the World" does describe a "Maronite flag", but doesn't seem to (from my searching in the Google Books preview) spend more than a sentence describing the flag itself. "Flags and arms across the world" seems to have almost exactly the same text as "Why Do Catholics Eat Fish on Friday?", which does mention that the Maronites used a white flag with a cedar on it but not much more. I can't search in the "National Eucharistic Congress" source and jeancharaf.org seems to be a dead link. Searching for "drapeau" in "Voyage en Orient, Volume 1: Les femmes de Caire; Druses et Maronites", the only mention about this subject seems to be the sentence "Ce sont les signes qui distinguent les drapeaux des Maronites et ceux des Druses, dont le fond est également rouge d'ailleurs." This sentence doesn't have any context and is very confusing to me – I suspect there was an accompanying image not present in the linked version. The last two sources are cited for mentions of the flag, not analysis, so I presume they contain none.
- Some of these sources may already have been present in the pre-redirect version, it's hard to tell. Anyhow, I still don't think the concept of a Maronite flag has received any coverage beyond passing mentions, mostly in sources explaining how the modern Lebanese flag came to be. Thus, I still believe this should be redirected to Flag of Lebanon. Toadspike [Talk] 17:00, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: What is the Wikipedia policy for dealing with this situation? Should @Red Phoenician have gone to deletion review even though the page was not actually deleted but rather redirected? Stockhausenfan (talk) 19:41, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Deletion review (DRV) is only for reviewing whether the close accurately reflected the consensus reached in the discussion, not for relitigating the issues discussed in the AfD, so it is probably not what what Red Phoenician was aiming for. Also, if the recreated page is a duplicate of the original, it can be speedy-deleted under WP:G4, but the new sources probably make this different enough that G4 does not apply here.

- These go **beyond trivial mentions** and highlight the company's significance in the Indian overseas film market.

I don't think this meets WP:GNG or, if you want to consider it a true "event", WP:NEVENT. Literally everything about this article, while attributed to reliable sources (minus some references to Gameranx, a Valnet source, and esports.gg which is dubious), is just basic observations that this thing happened and players had the chance to win money through it, but doesn't provide any critical commentary or observations about the event besides those two things. There is no significant coverage on the subject from these sources to be found, and the article itself is just mainly pieced together by content that at its core sounds extremely trivial and unencyclopedic (why do we care that Roblox tweeted clips of YouTubers playing the event, for example). And all of these sources were published within a short amount of time, so WP:SUSTAINED isn't met either. This does not warrant a separate page, and I recommend redirecting it to Roblox. Maybe it could be deleted entirely given that there isn't much to preserve or merge here, but I'd just go with a redirect. λ NegativeMP1 06:52, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to Roblox#Events. Concur with the nominator - it's a tricky one but I think reporting on game events tend to reiterate promotional or publisher information and lack much commentary that would suggest WP:NEVENT or otherwise. The Escapist article has some interesting commentary on the event maybe not going so smoothly in the end, but the rest of the sources are iterations of the same thing: it's going to happen, it will have these games, it has a prize, and will occur on this timeframe. All of that's really coming from the publisher. VRXCES (talk) 07:28, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Unsourced BLP riddled with unprovable or unnecessary claims. I can't prove this player played in the NFL in the given years. A search at NFL.com and Pro-football-reference.com return absolutely nothing, which would be unusual for someone who played for 12 years (and won a Super Bowl), and results from newspaper searches between the given playing years return nothing relevant. The only source I can prove here is the early years, that he did play football, but not enough to warrant notability. The personal life section is partially true but is not mentioned in non-primary sources. Most results for Kelly Bednar in newspapers and searches are for unrelated people. Additionally, author has only created this article and has not come back to edit since. Chew(V • T • E) 06:15, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Minor incident - no deaths. WP:GNG is dubious (consider WP:SINGLEEVENT and WP:NOTNEWS).

- Keep by the GNG and EVENT. By Dutch standards this is a major attack and the national and international coverage reflects that. The stabbing took place in the very heart of Amsterdam which further contributes to the interest. In the deletion rationale, nominator points at WP:SINGLEEVENT: "People notable for only one event". An attack is not a person so this does not support deletion. WP:NOTNEWS does not support deletion either:
For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage

An attempted bold merge of the article was reverted, but rather than start a merge discussion I am starting an AfD instead due to my serious notability concerns. This article would seem to fail WP:GNG as there are no secondary sources that appear to talk specifically about Off-TV Play as a feature as opposed to the Wii U console as a whole or its controllers. Looking at the sources given upon the article's creation, they are all Wii U console reviews and not much seems to have changed. Notability is not inherited; that is a core tenet of notability, so a feature does not become notable solely because the device it is on is notable. Furthermore, with devices like the PlayStation Portal, the feature cannot be said to be unique any longer either. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:20, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- I'm also baffled by the nominator's comment about the PlayStation Portal. It is, at best, completely irrelevant, and, at worst, completely against their own argument, as there is RS commentary about how off tv play did it better. There's articles saying that off tv play is the Wii U's legacy even. Very misguided. Sergecross73 msg me 23:39, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep If this were just the list of games that supported Off-TV play, it would clearly be reasonable, and would not be appropriate to merge back to Wii U or other articles. That more can be added to discuss development and its reception such that it is more than just a list seems to make sense to have this as its own article separate from the console or controller. Masem (t) 17:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Merge to Wii U Gamepad. This subject is almost entirely tied to its usage in the Gamepad, and is reflected in nearly all of the coverage. The bulk of arguments for keeping do not take into account Wikipedia:NOPAGE, which very strongly applies to this situation given the subject overlap, which would allow for a greater understanding of both subjects if they were to be discussed together. A separate article is not necessary in this case. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 04:34, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Article topic fails WP:ORG. The party is defunct and achieved insignificant results in the one election it fielded candidates in (0.21% of the popular vote, less than 7% in ridings it contested).
The article was previously PRODed in 2020 but deproded by Spinningspark with the explanation: "This is more than the usual joke/personal soapbox minor party. It needs a more thorough discussion before deleting, and some evidence of WP:BEFORE". I looked through Google (general web search), Google Books, Google Scholar, and my university databases (local to BC) for reliable sources and found no in-depth coverage. The only content about the party that has survived on the web is non-in-depth public records from the provincial government (i.e. date registered, deregistered, etc.).
I found this article by a local Indigenous publisher, but the coverage does not include a claim of notability. The coverage is quite routine and is a basic breakdown of the party's ambitions. Yue🌙 02:05, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies of living persons (WP:BIO) requires that the subject receive significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources. The existing article primarily relies on routine announcements and official listings, such as his judicial appointments and transfers. These do not constitute the in-depth, independent coverage necessary to establish encyclopedic notability.The article also lacks citations from independent news outlets, academic publications, or other reputable sources that provide substantial information about Justice Singh's career, judicial decisions, or impact on the legal field. The absence of such sources violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy (WP:V), which mandates that all material be attributable to reliable, published sources. The article predominantly focuses on recent events, such as Justice Singh's transfer proposals and appointments, without providing a broader historical context or analysis of his contributions to the judiciary. This emphasis on recent events without substantial historical significance may violate Wikipedia's recentism guideline (WP:RECENT), which cautions against giving undue weight to recent developments.

In this case, the available information primarily originates from official announcements and routine coverage, lacking in-depth analysis or commentary on Justice Sreedharan's judicial contributions.

Not Notable. concerns regarding notability and verifiability, as outlined in Wikipedia's content policies. For a film to be deemed notable, it must receive significant coverage from independent, reliable sources. While Kattumaram has been reviewed by several outlets, the depth and prominence of this coverage are limited. For instance, Asian Movie Pulse provides a review that, although positive, does not constitute the extensive coverage required to establish notability. Similarly, BollySpice.com offers a review, but its reach and influence are not substantial enough to meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Additionally, the film's listing on platforms like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, which include brief synopses and user-generated content, do not serve as independent, reliable sources for establishing notability. Furthermore, the article's reliance on such sources may violate Wikipedia's verifiability policy, which mandates that information be backed by reputable, third-party publications. Without substantial, independent coverage, the article does not meet the criteria set forth in Wikipedia's notability guidelines for films, making it a candidate for deletion.

The article Simran Gurung does not meet Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines (WP:GNG) due to a lack of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Most of the cited references provide only brief mentions rather than in-depth coverage, failing to establish the subject’s notability per WP:SIGCOV. Additionally, several sources are either primary, affiliated with the subject, or routine announcements, which do not meet the standards of WP:INDEP and WP:RS. The article also relies on repetitive sources that do not add substantial new information. If the subject is primarily known for a single event, it may also fall under the concerns outlined in WP:ONEEVENT. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 01:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: There is WP:SIGCOV here and here, both of which were already in the article, so I question whether sources were properly evaluated.

- Keep: The BLP is about a football player, who made her Senior India debut while still being a junior player... and received substantial coverage all over India including in vernacular press. The BLP easily passes notability guidelines and WP:GNG as one mainstream newspaper, Telegraph, a reliable, secondary source published a bylined indepth article on the subject. It also passes WP:INDEP. One more popular football website has a full article on her. Even if we ignore this, there are three other reliable sources where the BLP is the main topic. It passes WP:SIGCOV, which requires "coverage to be more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." The sources are from Telegraph, Sportstar, Ukhrul Times (a reliable and reputed small paper in the region), Sikkim Express and North East Live channel. Her events coverage spread from 2022 to 2025, the nominator must have missed it. So it is not a WP:ONEEVENT. So I added more sources for her domestic events. I urge the nominator to check the sources once again and also to familiarise with notability guidelines. Posting in good faith. Davidindia (talk) 05:02, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Notable director (his 75th film) and notable cast, so why are there no reliable reviews? A search in Telugu (or English for that matter) surprisingly yields nothing [18]. No reliable reviews or other reliable sources apart from the single sources already on the article. The old sources that used to be on the article and a WP:BEFORE yielded: [19] [20] [21] [22]. This is not a pre-2010 film, it is a 2016 film, hence it needs more sources.
Note several films by the same director lack articles including his immediate previous film (see the director's filmography). Note: I support a redirect to Relangi Narasimha Rao#Filmography, where the same source about this film is also there. DareshMohan (talk) 01:03, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

but if I don't get around to it this should be read as a !vote to delete. Toadspike [Talk] 21:39, 14 March 2025 (UTC)- After searching several newspaper archives, I finally found hits in the Schwäbische Zeitung [23]. Most of it is not sigcov, simply covering exhibitions of his work and by his art group Panta Rhei (likely notable) – this has four sentences about his work and his art, this has around a paragraph about his art, this has a sentence or two. I strongly suspect that their archive, which would have covered Feierabend when he was alive, will have more coverage, but it seems like I'd need their app to access it.

Searching that newspaper (Südkurier) for his name in quotes, I get over 39 results. At this point, I am certain that enough sourcing exists for an article, even if I cannot access it due to paywalls. We should keep this article. Toadspike [Talk] 18:55, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

suitable independent, reliable sources exist in the real world
. Toadspike [Talk] 15:25, 26 March 2025 (UTC)- If we remove the unverified content in the current article it would have no text at all. Not one word would remain. I do not think the sources you note might show notability or bring the article up to Wikipedia standards. Reading a machine translated version of the (uncited) article on German Wiki https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Feierabend one can see that it is a nice article honoring a local artist who painted as a side gig to his mechanical engineering career. His wife wrote a monograph about him.
- For some reason, an editor recently translated the German article and stripped out some the the fluffier fluff and pasted into the existing stub (that they created in 2009), without any attribution.
- Hope this makes my opinion clear :) Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 19:24, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

Regardless, a list or table should be kept as short as is feasible for its purpose and scope. Too much statistical data is against policy." On top of this, see what redirects there.Hell and Back.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 00:43, 29 March 2025 (UTC)- Leaning merge/delete I am still leaning toward merge/delete or merge/redirect. The four "yarns" with their own pages are notable on their own. I am still questioning the notability of the remaining books. In my opinion, the added citations on the page largely point to notability of the series rather than individual books. Some, like the reference to | dark horse comics or EBSCO really only establish existence, not notability. @Mushy Yank, it would be good to include pages or chapters for the book references you've added to make it quicker for other editors to judge notability. Yarns like "Just Another Saturday Night" that were adapted for the sin city films probably deserve their own page as adaptation into major films suggests notability of the original material.
- Overall my thoughts remain largely the same as they did previously: create articles for the books that meet notability guidelines, merge short summaries of remaining books to the main Sin City page, and delete this page. The table of yarns on the Sin city page should be enough for navigation to the various pages for individual yarns and this article can be deleted or redirected as appropriate.

- I struggled to find much on this person, too, outwith the discussions of "designed by". And I cannot find a convincing source that the Max Kalman architect in Boston and the Maxwell Kalman one in Montreal are in fact the same person. Max is not an uncommon name, no Boston source says Maxwell, and the Canadian one was in the class of 1928 (Omicron '28 says the Tau Epsilon Phi history) which would have xem not even a McGill freshman when the work in Boston in 1919 and 1922 was being done, and also graduating in xyr 40s.
The Gazette source has the Montreal one born in 1906, not 1884, and thus graduating at a more usual age. The Gazette one is a good single source for the Montreal one, sans any Boston and Texas conflation (as those two can be connected, albeit via the memoirs of a random neighbour in Texas). A good second source on the Montreal architect, and we'd be in business, but there are just a handful of building mentions elsewhere, that I can find.

- Via a very winding and roundabout route, which Drmies found the small obscure fingerpost pointing to, which this article did not hint at in its entire 11 year history, the answer seems to be that this is a {{R from short name}} for Maxwell M. Kalman. I can find nothing documenting the 1884 Boston person at all, and the "Ancestry" WWW sites do not cut the mustard for a biography of a historical person because of the Wikipedia is not a genealogy database policy. The person actually has to be documented in some sort of actual on-point history. Even in the sources about Vilna Shul the 1884 person is just a name-check, as xe is in the Texas neighbour's memoirs too. The links in Wesley Lyng Minor and Vilna Shul are clearly excessive.

- Delete Utterly pointless list with no source discussing the subject (and why would they; that would be like a "list of people with spinal cords"). WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 21:22, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment This is the second AfD for this page. The first was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of people on postage stamps back in 2022. The page has been moved several times: from the creation of the page in 2002 until 2015 it was List of people on stamps, then it was List of people on postage stamps until 2020, then Lists of people on postage stamps until 2022, then Lists of countries with people on postage stamps.

- Comment Do you have a source for the claim that all countries have people on their stamps? It sounds believable, but I would like to see a source just to make sure. Opm581 (talk | he/him) 00:43, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- Beside the point. I a not writing an article and I made a reasonable guess. The one who wrote the list must find sources that discuss this particular list criterion. Otherwise next thing we get List of countries with birds on stamps, List of countries with buildings on stamps, List of countries with behemoths on stamps. In other words, my major claim was "fails WP:NLIST", and no, I do not have a reference for that either. --Altenmann >talk 01:14, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- Just for the record, this page does not start with List but Lists, i.e. it's a List of lists. I'm actually inclined to keep it under a better name. Geschichte (talk) 07:21, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- Ouch. Anyway the process of getting rid of its members is underway: List of people on the postage stamps of Israel is gone, now Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people on the postage stamps of Sudan. --Altenmann >talk 10:35, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- I think a deletion of Lists of countries with people on postage stamps should not pre-empt those other deletions. As long as they're there, a list of lists seems valid. Geschichte (talk) 04:37, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

- Move to Lists of people on postage stamps by country and keep. It's a valid organizational list for these countries' lists rather than a topic under this title. Reywas92Talk 19:28, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- Move and keep per Reywas92 as a navigational page/list of lists. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:09, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star Mississippi 00:47, 22 March 2025 (UTC) - Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as there is still no consensus. User:Geschichte were you going to voice an opinion for a specific outcome? By the way, an AFD can not close as "Move" as that outcome, as it is renaming, is an editorial decision that is done after a closure. If this is your choice, then "vote" for Keep and then a move discussion can occur.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 00:25, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - Something needs to be done here, but I'm not sure how. Please see Category:Lists of people on postage stamps. If the individuals are cultural icons, they sometimes have stamps in more than one country. Elvis and John Lennon come to mind. — Maile (talk) 02:07, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

She has a metro station named after her in Romania, yet I cannot find anything else other than profiles, hence she does not meet WP:NSPORT criteria. Darkm777 (talk) 00:25, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. Clearly notable with sigcov such as [36] and for being a multi-time Olympic gold medalist (WP:NOLY), world champion, and a recipient of the National Order of Faithful Service per ru.wiki thus satisfying WP:ANYBIO as well. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:48, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep per BeanieFan11. Meets WP:GNG now. Gheus (talk) 12:30, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per Beaniefan11. Would be a high chance of more SIGCOV with 2 Olympic gold medals. Canary757 (talk) 12:53, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per above and with [37] [38] etc. Geschichte (talk) 08:19, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Does not have enough coverage to meet WP:NSPORT requirements. Darkm777 (talk) 00:21, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. Another in a series of poor nominations. Passes WP:NOLY as an Olympic medalist and has coverage such as this, with there being almost certainly further coverage given her status as one of the star Romanian sportswomen in the offline era, with her also having achieved multiple world championship medals in her sport.

- Speedy Keep. Very clearly notable as a medalist at three different Olympics, a seven-time world championship medalist and three-time world champion, as well as a multi-time Olympic champion, who received the highest honor for Romanian sportspeople, per ru.wiki, which satisfies WP:ANYBIO. It is also guaranteed that there is further offline coverage given that she was one of the greatest Romanian sportswomen and competed in the offline era. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:54, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
