Fictional location. Pure plot summary and list of appearances; no WP:GNG visible in the article (no reception/analysis), nothing in my BEFORE. At best, WP:ATD-R suggests we can redirect this to Features of Marvel Universe or such. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:59, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - I'd suggest the redirect target be Arcade (Marvel Comics). What it is and its various appearances are already covered extensively there, so it would make the most sense to direct anyone searching for the term to that article. Even if there were sources that allowed this topic to demonstrate notability, (though I have not found any), I would likely still suggest this, as the concept is tied directly to the character who created it and per WP:NOPAGE it would be best to cover both as a single topic. 00:54, 25 February 2025 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rorshacma (talk • contribs) 09:54, February 25, 2025 (UTC)

Redirect - per Rorshacma. Doesn't have reception in independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG and WP:NOT, but I can see a decent redirect target. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:27, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per above. Good target. Even if this was technically notable this is probably better per NOPAGE. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:01, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Spider

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fictional... exoskeleton? Really? Sigh. Well, it's probably just a badly written lead. Realistically, this is a fictional character (per WP:DUCK :P). Regardless, it seems like a niche comic book non-notable character; the article is the usual plot summary+list of appearances, with no reception/analysis. My BEFORE fails to find anything. Assuming we agree this is a character, it should be merged to list of Marvel Universe characters; otherwise, probably to Features of the Marvel Universe (since we don't have Technology of the Marvel Universe article). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:51, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per nom. Given Iron Spider isn't a "character" per se, I feel it's likely better redirected to a primary topic. The two best options are likely Peter Parker (Marvel Cinematic Universe), who uses a variant of the armor extensively, or to Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series), where the Iron Spider is the identity used by one of the main characters. I have no preference to either, since both are solid targets. Alternatively, it can be mentioned at Alternative versions of Spider-Man, since this is technically an alternate version. I have no preference, but I'll let further consensus decide what is best. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:39, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Pokelego999. There isn't WP:SIGCOV for this as a separate character (because it isn't). I am neutral on the redirect target (but Spider-Man is as good as any). Shooterwalker (talk) 17:25, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Patriot

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Another fictional (comic) "exoskeleton"-cum-character that is is pure plot summary and list of apperances. My BEFORE shows some hits, but I what I see is pure plot summary - although I was hoping to find some discussion, as some similar 'dark/nationalist' heroes occasionally get academic writeups. Maybe someone will have better luck; if not, this should be redirected (or slightly merged) somewhere (probably to list of Marvel Universe characters, or maybe Features of the Marvel Universe, if folks feel this is more of a gadget than a character...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:57, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Norman Osborn the first user of the armor. His article covers the Patriot most extensively, and given the Patriot isn't really a "character", it's likely better redirected here than to a character list, similarly to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sorcerer Supreme (2nd nomination).

A hatnote can be included linking to War Machine's article, similarly to how Red Hood was handled after his AfD, since Rhodes is the other most significant user of the armor, having used it for an entire comic series. The other users seem to use the Armor more as a footnote; Garza, from what I can gather, doesn't even use the Patriot armor, and is instead paired with Rhodes's Patriot, while Ho seems to only use it for a brief span of issues, and not as a consistent identity like the other two. Carter's usage seems to have been only for an issue. Thus, I doubt any further disambiguation is necessary; if the Patriot armor is linked, it can be linked to Osborn's article, which gives the greatest amount of depth on what the Patriot armor is. Unopposed to a vice versa swap on if the primary target should be Rhodes while Osborn is the secondary target, but this just fails notability and is likely better covered as part of a primary topic. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:34, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Pokelego999. There isn't WP:SIGCOV for this as a separate character because it's more of a title or tool. I am neutral on the target and Norman Osborn is acceptable to me. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:27, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of radio stations in Alaska#Defunct stations: both KWJG and KMJG are listed there, making it a valid-enough alternative to deletion for both articles.

Comment: While both are short-lived defunct radio stations that probably do fail the GNG, I don't think bundling a Puerto Rico station with a Nevada station is a sufficiently common bond; they should be separate nominations.

A7/ The notability of the individual needs to be reassessed. The sources are not particularly relevant to the person and are merely news coverage. Persia ☘ 20:39, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Philosophy, Islam, and Iran. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:05, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. The OP's nomination rationale is confused at best. WP:A7 is not a criterion of notability but of significance, hence not related to AfD. As for reasons cited, WP:NNC: "the notability guideline does not apply to the contents of articles" so the nomination is inadequate. But even if we pretend that we had an adequate nomination: Radio Farda cites the subject as "a prominent administrative figure at the Qom Seminary," responsible in forming the First and Second government of Hassan Rouhani. He's a member of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, Academy of Sciences of Iran, and Supreme Leader of Iran’s representative in the Islamic Students Associations in Europe. There are multiple other sources, from The Times, Mehr News Agency, and Tehran Times to name a few. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Xpander (talk) 09:14, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He is one of thousands of clerics in Iran who have been appointed to a position. The mere mention of his name in an article by Radio Farda, without any further details, does not establish notability. Persia ☘ 10:42, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Millhouse

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This subject fails WP:NMUSICIAN, as well as WP:GNG due to a lack of significant in-depth coverage by unrelated third-party reliable sources, to exclude the likes of IMDB and self-publications/blogs. JFHJr (㊟) 22:01, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Bands and musicians, United States of America, and New York. JFHJr (㊟) 22:01, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't understand. The man played on Broadway. This is not the IMDB site but IBDB (Internet Broadway Database). "IBDB (Internet Broadway Database) archive is the official database for Broadway theatre information. IBDB provides records of productions from the beginnings of New York theatre until today. IBDB provides a comprehensive database of shows produced on Broadway, including all "title page" information about each production. IBDB also offers historical information about theatres and various statistics and fun facts related to Broadway."

You have to understand that jazz and classical music are not as widely covered by the media. This is already the second article in a row that has been marked for deletion. I assume the same will happen with the third article I'm currently working on. Since it's obvious that I'm doing something wrong, maybe it's best to go back to Wikipedia in my native language. There's no point in wasting my time if none of the articles can stay.--Марко Станојевић (talk) 22:19, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Please see WP:RS and WP:RSNP. The guidelines I linked in my nomination are the main reasons for deletion. Please don't doubt your own English proficiency. The reading is copious and it's hard for native speakers to understand in many cases. Our guidelines surely differ from other language Wikis. You may find that feedback (without deletions) in draft spaces and the WP:AFC process are a better fit for new articles. Just an idea. Cheers! JFHJr (㊟) 00:52, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~: I found a mention of subject in NYT[6], however the article is mostly about a different person. I also searched newspaper archives, all I could find is this [7] which is just confirmation of a show he's playing at. I don't think these in combination with sources in the article meet the criteria for WP:MUSICBIO or WP:ANYBIO. Zzz plant (talk) 02:58, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JFHJr:, @Oaktree b:, @Zzz plant: I would like to try once again to highlight some facts that could help keep the article. Firstly, Steve recorded two albums for SteepleChase Records, one of the oldest and most renowned jazz record labels. Other musicians who have recorded for them are among the most famous in jazz history. Steve is also mentioned on their Wikipedia page. Regarding Broadway, he was the bassist for five Broadway shows. The albums he recorded with Ute Lemper were Grammy-nominated.

I would also like to ask you something: since this is already the second article you are planning to delete, do you think the Philippe Baden Powell article is sufficiently relevant? It is available on the German, French, and Portuguese Wikipedia. If you believe it is not, I’d rather not start and waste my time.--Марко Станојевић (talk) 13:14, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Changing my vote to Draftify - The SteepleChase Records looks to be backed up with a podcast citation, and I don't see the Grammy nom mentioned on his page at all. @Марко Станојевић: I understand the frustration of being interested in a field/subject that doesn't get mainstream media attention. I made a sincere effort to look for WP:RS, which is why I linked to sources I found in the initial vote, but I'm sorry I did not realize this article was so new! I think the author should have more time to look for non-primary, reliable sources about the subject. Zzz plant (talk) 20:35, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
all the sources on Fr wiki say is that he plays in Brazil with some family members, and a concert listing. That's even less notable. Oaktree b (talk) 20:54, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would just like to ask, why, for example, isn't a review by Bill Milkowski considered a relevant source, given that he is one of the best jazz critics? As I mentioned, he included his album in the top 100. Also, I would like to point out that, as far as I know, the website bassmagazine.com is one of the best bass magazines out there. Finally, is it possible to use a podcast as a source? I have this link that I haven't used because I wasn't sure.--Марко Станојевић (talk) 21:54, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b:, @Zzz plant: I found an article in The New York City Jazz Record, but I can't add it to the references. The PDF won't upload. I will copy what it says: "From the ’50s through to the ’70s, composer, conductor, arranger, pianist and flutist, Henry Mancini was as prolific as they come in film and television scoring, winning four Academy Awards, a Golden Globe and twenty Grammys. For a group that concentrates on the vast body of work written for film, Mancini and the Steve Millhouse Cinema Trio are a match made in heaven. Millhouse, whose career has garnered him acclaim as a bass guitar player, appears here on the six-string contrabass, with Allen Farnham (piano), Eric Halvorson (drums) and—on half of the album—Scott Wendholt (trumpet). Of his time, and yet an acknowledged innovator as well, Mancini’s style could be categorized broadly as “creative orchestral”; there’s a jazz underpinning, which, owing to his craftmanship, now serves as a solid platform for the purely jazz arrangements of the Cinema Trio. Of the vast Mancini repertoire at their disposal, Millhouse has chosen only six works: three instantly recognizable, three seldom heard and probably somewhat obscure. In this latter category is the inventive Millhouse take on “Loss of Love”, the theme song from the film Sunflower (1970). It’s strikingly opened with an extended drum solo byHalvorson whose steady repetitions on the kit create a hypnotic feel throughout the track, as a subtle Millhouse enters for a few bars and Farnham takes over with assertive melodic and harmonic statements. These are matched by tradeoffs with Wendholt’s clarion trumpet, finally fading to a bookended button of finality from the drummer. In contrast, the 1970s balladic title song is given a slow, contemplative treatment dominated by piano and trumpet tradeoffs of the theme. The album opener (the eponymous theme song from the 1963 film, Charade) is marked with inventive tempochanges and variations by Farnham. The delivery is at once reminiscent of a ’50s basement jazz hangout and intensely modern in its driving improvisations and the pianist’s creative ideas, while Millhouse and Halvorson’s support is balanced between an ebb and flow of retreating and forward sonic embellishments. You’ll find no “Moon River” on this album, but for lovers of modern standards, there’s a jewel box of contemporized material from one of the masters of film scoring"

Marko Elez

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

According to WP:BIO For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"

Per WP:SUSTAINED a subject must have sustained coverage for sufficiently significant period of time, beyond fleeting news cycles, which Elez lacks.

WP:1E states Articles may still not be created for such people if they fall under exclusionary criteria, such as being notable only for a single event.

WP:BLP it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. I think this article is harmful to the subject because of the racist tweets.

Marko Elez received media attention solely due to a single controversy related to his role in DOGE, which lacks long-term significance. He has no notable achievements, and his government employment does not inherently confer "remarkable" or "significant" notability. The coverage surrounding him is temporary and reactionary, with no sustained coverage demonstrating lasting impact or contributions. Per WP:BIO1E, biographies of living persons notable for only one event should generally not have standalone articles. Therefore, this article should be deleted. Astropulse (talk) 21:50, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The logic isn't there. Quoting from previous articles of deletion: "Nobody actually wants to delete this article! The multiple independent reliable sources with in-depth coverage are several times as much as we need to earn a special award from WP:Notability people. The only thing left to consider is whether it comes under WP:BLP1E - since he's been in the public eye for less than one month.

Let's count the events

1. He gains (read - only) access to one of the most sensitive financial databases in the world: US Treasury payments (amounting to "$5 Trillion per year, which likely includes name, address, bank account number, social seurity number for all federal employees, social security recipients, government contractors and others who get paid by the gov't

2. He was then caught having made racist comments on social media.

3. He resigns.

4. Musk conducts a survey of his Twitter followers on whether he should be rehired

5. Musk, the Vice-President, and the President all agree at a news conference that he should be rehired.

6. Whoops! It's reported that he he actually had read-write access to the database

That looks like more than 1 event to me.

I suppose we could theoretically consider merging into DOGE, but that article is huge already, we'd have to split the Elez part off almost immendiately.

Note to closer, !votes that don't mention notability or BLP1E should be discarded as not addressing policy or guidelines." 129.222.162.136 (talk) 21:56, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All listed “events” are part of the same controversy – The access he was given, the discovery of past comments, his resignation, the poll, and his rehire are all connected actions within one broader incident rather than distinct, independently notable events. I think WP:BLP1E applies to individuals whose only public recognition arises from a single controversy, crime, or event, and Elez clearly fits this criterion.

Media coverage is reactionary and lacks long-term significance – The sources covering Elez focus only on the scandal and its immediate political implications. There is no indication of sustained coverage over time or discussion of his lasting contributions to government, technology, or policy. Per WP:SUSTAINED a subject must have sustained sufficiently significant period of time, beyond fleeting news cycles, which Elez lacks.

Being in the public eye temporarily does not equate to notability – The presence of major figures like Musk or the U.S. government in this story does not make Elez inherently notable. The focus of reliable sources is primarily on the controversy itself, not Elez as an enduringly relevant public figure. Astropulse (talk) 22:08, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If its "events" then it isn't one event. A news cycle lasts a few days, the subject has received sustained significant coverage. Weak sauce. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:12, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A brief moment in the news ( a day or few) does not equate to lasting notability. With a global population of 8 billion, if every individual who made headlines for a few days warranted a Wikipedia article, the platform would be overwhelmed with fleeting stories rather than subjects of enduring significance. Astropulse (talk) 22:18, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're making arguments that don't make any sense in the context of this deletion discussion. We aren't talking about a day or a few of them, we're talking about more than a month of coverage. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:29, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

> "All listed “events” are part of the same controversy" and "Media coverage is reactionary and lacks long-term significance"

This is obviously not true. There was significant sustained coverage of his Treasury payment system access and the resulting litigation which is completely distinct from the firing/rehiring stuff. That is at least 2 highly reported, completely distinct events. Xy1231321 (talk) 22:15, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The covering around his Treasury payment access in addition to the firing/rehiring drama with JD Vance and Trump supporting his reinstatement obviously indicates that WP:BLP1E doesn't apply here.

Keep, "Marko Elez received media attention solely due to a single controversy related to his role in DOGE, which lacks long-term significance." simply is not true... We have media attention prior to the racist tweets controversy. That should have been obvious from a basic BEFORE. Did you even review the sources before coming to the conclusion of BIO1E? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:09, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
racist tweets was discovered after he became DOGE employee. so its part of the same controversy Astropulse (talk) 22:13, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It appears to be multiple events, its certainly covered as such. If you think its part of the same controversy what is that controversy? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:14, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He is just a ordinary guy who got into trouble or media attention because of DOGE. This entire article is based on a single controversy for his role in DOGE. The controversy centers on Elez’s appointment to a role with administrator access to sensitive Treasury payment systems despite lacking relevant experience, which was compounded by the revelation of racist tweets. This single scandal led to his resignation and a subsequent contentious debate over his reinstatement.

This article might be ruining that guys life.

Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons Biographies of living persons ("BLPs") must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article, and to material about living persons in other articles and on other pages, including talk pages. The burden of evidence rests with the editor who adds or restores the material. Astropulse (talk) 22:37, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the scandal led to soemthing else then its multiple events. I don't think that there is a Verifiability/Responsibility for providing citations issue here, citations have been provided (I don't at a glance see any unsourced text on the page) Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:48, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again, these are obviously multiple events. There is no "single scandal" here. Trying to lump the Treasury payment system access arc (which is revelatory by itself considering the individual was 25 at the time and had no prior government or finance experience) and the revelation around his Tweets (which directly involved the President and Vice Presidents of the United States in addition to the richest man in the world, Elon Musk and set a historical precedent) into a single event makes no sense at all. Xy1231321 (talk) 22:59, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

> the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment

This makes no sense at all and one questions why you would bring this up. We have no evidence to suggest that the individual cares one way or the other. From an outsider's perspective, he was reinstated to a high-profile position in the Executive Office of the President and by all accounts is doing fine. Xy1231321 (talk) 23:06, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The only source I can find for this locality in Luengue-Luiana National Park being a populated place is an entry on page 198 of the Gazetteer of Angola (2nd ed.) published by the US Board on Geographic Names. The latitude it and our article gives (S 17° 30′) is close to that of a pan mentioned by Col. J.C.B. Statham on page 18 of the Jan. 1924 Geographical Journal: "Not far from Shu Shu pan was another called Didimbo, where Goold-Adams had taken a latitude of 17° 26′, and I tried to march there, but no one knew of Didimbo, and we never saw or heard of it on the route."

To summarize, there is no town called Didimbo. It seems that Didimbo was a waterhole that Hamilton Goold-Adams encountered in an 1896 expedition, but there is no evidence it was ever permanently inhabited, and it seems to have dried up over a century ago.

Weak keep Some coverage: International Journal of Indology paper on the poem, several paragraphs in this paper, an article in "Notions, a peer reviewed journal of English literature", which does not inspire much confidence but does at least claim to be an academic source. It's discussed briefly in this paper in the Journal of South Asian Literature, this book on South Asian Poetry. Obituary by The Hindu, describing the poet as "known for Indian Summer" (as do many other obits) and a blog describing it as "widely anthologized", another as a classic of Indian literature. I strongly suspect the existence of better sources given how the sources I do find seem to treat it as a classic (and a feature of school curriculums).

Heptagonal tiling honeycomb

Subject is a random hyper-compact tessellation. Nothing to establish notability. Of the sources in the article the only one that mentions this particular hyperbolic tessellation is the Nelson & Segerman preprint, which uses it as an example.

I could not find any coverage on this particular tessellation in specific anywhere (Google scholar and JSTOR come up with zero results, TWL has nothing useful). I really suspect the title for this article is WP:NEO which does confound the search a little bit.

Two items by the same author generally count for less when evaluating wiki-notability, however, than two items by different authors.

Comment: Steve Devlin of Skankin' Pickle is also named at Skafunkrastapunk and Skankin' Pickle Live. Steve Devlin is also the name of character in Stingers, played by John Brumpton, and a current defensive coordinator for the Ursinus Bears, named at List of current NCAA Division III football coaches. That said, none of these pages give detailed information about Steve Devlin, so I don't think they're overly helpful as DAB items. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 09:04, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For reference, I think the crux of this AfD is how we interpret MOS:DABMENTION: If the topic does not have an article of its own, but is discussed within another article, then a link to that article may be included if it would provide value to the reader (emphasis mine). Thus, the question is whether the information provided at the articles mentioned is enough to provide value to the reader. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 09:09, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Even if Wikipedia has very little to say about a subject, having a disambiguation page pointing to the relevant titles regarding that subject informs the reader that this is, in fact, everything that Wikipedia has to say about that subject. BD2412 T 22:20, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looking at the sources linked by Qwaiiplayer, most are preprints or "independent consultant" reports, mostly prepared by one A.D. Berkowitz. There is a book chapter by this author as well, and a journal article by an independent party (but it's a Sage journal, so should probably be viewed with some caution). But none of these are about the NSNRC, they just cite its reports, which seem to mostly trace to Berkowitz. I think we need more coverage of this organization to meet WP:NORG.

EastMojo and Northeast Now are widely recognized trustworthy media organizations in Northeast India that report on business, politics, and social issues. The subject has been featured in Forbes India 30 Under 30, which is an independent and prestigious recognition. You do not get into a Forbes list via PR agents. Also since the articles discuss Chettri’s entrepreneurial journey, challenges, and impact rather than just his company’s products/services, they contribute to an encyclopedic understanding rather than mere promotion.

Delete. The Google searches are clear that he is not the most notable person called TJ Norris and that at least one other person might have a better claim to this article title. He also does not seem to be more than very minimally notable even if you try to see past that. Adding "artist" to the searches turns up some passing mentions. The only even slightly substantial thing I found was this, which focuses on his appointment as a curator and, even the, its not much. That's nothing like enough. The books, discography and awards are not impressive. The monograph was published through a publisher that does not have an article. Factor in the promotional intent and the past COI editing and... there's no hope for this. --DanielRigal (talk) 11:51, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Two dozen casual mentions do not equate to notability. Being published in non-notable, ephemeral publications does not equate to notability.

Comment: That the subject of the article no longer exists is not itself a reason to delete an article unless it has also been demonstrated that the subject also fails notability guidelines (I believe that would be NGEO in this case); notability, once established, is not temporary. (I offer no opinion or further comment on that front with regard to this article, however.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 07:56, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a former first-level administrative division of a country (akin to a US state or Canadian province/territory) which you are proposing to delete because it doesn't exist anymore (WP:DEFUNCT) and you don't like that it shows up in the Wikipedia search bar (WP:IDONTLIKEIT).

This station is a classic case of a rebroadcaster of national Christian radio networks, though it was recently sold from one to another. Unlike most, it once had some local programming, but the notability case is thin enough to suggest a redirect to ESNE Radio instead of the current content.

Actually, that's pretty commonplace? Plenty of sequels get more recognition than their predecessor.

I didn't notice the original article was written about both, so it should be suitable to Move to Piyo Blocks 2 and expunge mentions of the first game. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:22, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Baby Be Mine (Michael Jackson song)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NSONG through having insufficient standalone coverage in reliable sources. Sources presented (and visible in a WP:BEFORE search) are articles on the album, passing mentions, etc. Additionally, Far Out Magazine is not a reliable source because it is churnalism (see its presence on WP:NOTRSMUSIC). Most of the valuable content here can easily be contained in the album article. Redirect to Thriller (album). JeffSpaceman (talk) 00:49, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I removed the citation to Far Out, and I believe the remaining sources are still sufficient to justify an article. Thriller is such a prominent album that it's reasonable to have articles about its two tracks that were not hit singles, this being one of them. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:24, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which sources are you referring to, and how do they justify an article? Sigmaohiorizzzler (talk) 02:46, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will say that I believe The Lady in My Life is likely notable through it being certified gold in the U.S. But while Thriller may be the best-selling album of all time, but I don't see enough here for this specific lesser-known track to be worthy of its own article -- no chart placements, no certifications, and the coverage seems inadequate by WP:SIGCOV and WP:NSONG standards. Even the reliably sourced content in this article simply does not show notability independent from the album. JeffSpaceman (talk) 14:29, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although "Baby Be Mine" wasn't released as a commercial single, it was included on the album that sold over 70 million copies worldwide. This indirectly means the song also sold 70 million units. If released today, that number would translate to significant streaming figures, potentially charting in several countries.

Additionally, "Baby Be Mine" was featured as the B-side on singles like "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and "Human Nature", both of which performed well on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching number one and number seven, respectively. TheWikiholic (talk) 17:33, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just because a song was included on a massively successful album does not mean it is inherently notable -- notability requires verifiable evidence. This is not about it being on an unquestionably notable album, it is about standalone coverage of the song itself, and there is little if any on the article and that can be located generally. Just because it was a B-side on two separate notable singles does not mean it is worthy of its own article -- there needs to be evidence that it passes WP:NSONG, and based on the state of sourcing in the article and that can be located, there just simply isn't.

Hervotype

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This term is only used in two primary sources, one in 2009 (the cited source) and one in 2011.[60] Both have the same lead author. This Wikipedia article was made shortly after the publication of the first source and seems to have been made by the lead author of the two papers, possibly to make the term more widespread. Noticeably, other researchers of human endogenous retroviruses do not appear to use this term, so overall it probably fails WP:GNG. Velayinosu (talk) 00:46, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I also found that the only use of the word "hervotype" is in these two studies with the same lead author, which falls short of the multiple secondary sources required by the general notability guideline.

This is an article on a particularly important company, however, it has languished for eight years with only two marginal sources, a situation faced by many B2B and B2G firms. Unfortunately, a thorough WP:BEFORE search fails to find anything that could redeem it, however, this may be frustrated a bit by the non-unique name. I would particularly welcome anyone who can salvage this article and will happily withdraw this nomination if someone can but, I'm afraid, from where I'm sitting right now -- having exhausted a variety of avenues -- deletion is the only realistic outcome.

Weak keep. If there was no real WP:SIGCOV after 2018, I would agree w/ nom - but there was follow-up in 2023[61] as well as several opinion columns, like this one[62]. The case has been discussed in scholarship of varying calibers[63][64][65][66][67] and is mentioned in a law textbook (pg. 774) [68]. Prison policy in the UK for trans prisoners was also seemingly changed in response to the case[69], which I think could suggest WP:IMPACT. Zzz plant (talk) 01:17, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Zzz plant. The article badly needs expansion but the topic is inherently notable. Examining the WP:NEVENT criteria:
- WP:LASTING: According to the BBC, the case influenced the UK to change its policy regarding transgender prisoners. [70]
- WP:GEOSCOPE: The case received coverage from national media, including the Guardian [71], BBC [72], Times [73], Independent [74], Telegraph [75], and Sky News [76].
- WP:DEPTH: In addition to straightforward reporting on the case, the Guardian published two in-depth articles about why the case happened [77] and its effects on the UK's transgender inmate policy [78].
- WP:PERSISTENCE: As outlined by Zzz plant, the case has been taken up by multiple academic sources since White's 2018 conviction. The case has also received media coverage since then, e.g. [79] [80]
- WP:DIVERSE: See WP:GEOSCOPE above.

Non-notable singer. Fails WP:GNG, WP:SINGER and the subject of this article is not a notable individual. He is primarily a TikToker/YouTuber but does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people. The article also incorrectly describes him as a musician, but there is no evidence that he meets the notability criteria for musicians. Additionally, the references provided appear to be paid or promotional news articles.

For example, one article states: "RobinRafan has the ability to deliver creative storytelling content and has proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with." (Here, "herself" is incorrect, suggesting possible copy-paste or automated content). see here Furthermore, these news sources mention all of his platform profiles and account names, which is unusual for genuine news articles. This strongly indicates *a lack of independent, reliable sources*.

Additionally, the article appears to have a conflict of interest WP:COI as it seems to have been created by someone closely related to the subject. Based on these factors, the article does not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria and should be deleted.SRL1122 (talk) 07:44, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
