James Gunn's unrealized projects (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've been contemplating about doing this AfD for a bit now, and seen no improvements to this list in that time. Following in the footsteps of relatively recent decisions for similar subjects at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Cimino's unrealized projects and Talk:Christopher Nolan/Archive 2#Proposed merge of Christopher Nolan's unrealized projects into Christopher Nolan, I am proposing this stub list have its main notable content be merged into the subject article at James Gunn. Some of these could fit nicely into the James Gunn § Other media section, while others, such as the Ravagers and Drax/Mantis spin-offs and a The Suicide Squad sequel, were never actually in development and can be dropped. Works like The Belko Experiment and Coyote vs. Acme were made, though Belko was ultimately made by someone else and CvA has yet to be released (if ever). Others are just very brief involvements or pitches that never came into fruition, and are almost just trivial. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:55, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep: Per WP:LISTN, which says that as long as the subjects in the list are described as "a group or set" in 2-3 reliable sources, it warrants having an article of its own. Here is 1, 2, and, why not, 3 ZanderAlbatraz1145 (talk) 00:08, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per ZanderAlbatraz1145 and per WP:LISTN. The Film Creator (talk) 02:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I suppose I should echo some points from the debates I linked to above, specifically, Wikipedia:Verifiability#Verifiability does not guarantee inclusion and I'll add Wikipedia is not a directory or housing space for trivial details. Just because a list can be produced for a topic, that does not necessarily mean that it should exist. And LISTN is not a one-for-all saying that any list goes. There is also WP:SALAT which addresses the trivia concerns. Some of this content is just a WP:FORK from Gunn's article that can easily be implemented there, as I suggested. Do we really need a separate list for works he never made? Trailblazer101 (talk) 02:26, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think whatever info regarding unmade projects from Gunn's main page should be ported to the Unrealized projects page then, in that case. ZanderAlbatraz1145 (talk) 04:06, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I will note that third source from Slashfilm only discusses Gunn's unmade horror films, not every unmade work. Coyote vs. Acme and Belko should NOT be moved out from Gunn's article because they have been made, just not as originally intended. These projects are still very minute compared to what he's actually made and can be easily collected in his article where they are more likely to be noticed. Trailblazer101 (talk) 19:21, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Discussed as a set in multiple reliable sources. Jclemens (talk) 03:00, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: even the page as it is clearly shows this meets WP:NLIST with reliable sources discussing the topic as a set. -Mushy Yank. 08:16, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    So, just having some low-tier sites for a brief lead introduction and not actually discussing the specifics in the individual sections warrants any topic list to be made? Just because it can be made does not mean it must exist. Most of these sections are one-to-two sentence long statements that can easily be integrated into Gunn's article and are not as notable for their own dynamic list compared to works Gunn has actually made. It is odd having an article for what he has not made and not one for his entire filmography of made works (which counts more to such a topic that what has gone unmade). This just all seems backwards to me, by prioritizing and giving preferential treatment to things that ultimately didn't happen. I will note that Zander and Film Creator are substantial contributors to this list. Trailblazer101 (talk) 19:26, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In a boolean answer? Yes. If you want to propose a merge on the talk page(s), that's not an AfD discussion and I have no opinion. But if the question is "Per policy, must this article be merged, redirected, or deleted?" then no, there's not a policy demand that it no longer exist as a standalone article. I hope that's not splitting hairs too fine, but I see a difference in the venues' charters. Jclemens (talk) 21:26, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No, that's a good answer and it makes sense. (I'd much rather prefer bluntness than beating around the bush.) In prior AfDs, I have not experienced or seen any issue in a merge opinion, so that is why I felt it would be passable in this instance. I will still let this run its natural course, but if it closes as keep, I will propose a formal merge at Talk:James Gunn to weigh more opinions on the matter, as I presume this list is not as watched as the main article. I do appreciate your understanding here, I was just taken aback by the sheer willingness to keep a list based on one loose policy alone, even when its content does not merit much.

Article about prototype, never-commercialized product of now-defunct company created in 2004 "after reading Slashdot article". Company seems to have been a mix of "startup business venture" and "scheme to defraud investors". What things a Web search turns up appear to be either regurgitation of press releases from the company, or stuff copied from this WP article. No news mentions post-2000s. Fails WP:V, WP:NOTABILITY.

From time to time, the eye is caught when researching these things on the maps and on aerial photographs. In this case, on GMaps, it is the post-industrial wasteland just north of this spot that is the ruins of the Marble Hill Nuclear Power Plant, which project was abandoned shy of completion back in 1984 and progressively demolished over the next thirty years (assuming they ever finished, as the article is unclear on that). Marble Hill the town, however, was and is a complete non-entity, a 4th class post office and nothing more, as far as I can tell. Mangoe (talk) 19:12, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is more of an old stock brochure than an encyclopedia article.

Recreation of salted title: Sanoj Mishra, which was salted back in 2018. Article needs to be moved to the correctly capitalized title if kept. No opinion on the current state of the article, though it appears to be decently sourced. CycloneYoris talk! 22:02, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and rename to Sanoj Mishra: Although the article was already deleted, the majority of Sanoj Mishra's directorial work, including films such as Gandhigiri, Ram Ki Janmabhoomi and The Diary of West Bengal, has occurred after the deletion in 2018. These films have received coverage in reliable sources (as evidenced by existing references in the article), demonstrating notability under WP:DIRECTOR. The existence of these post-2018 films, which were not factors in the original deletion, justifies a reassessment of his notability. The article is still a work in progress and needs further improvement, particularly in expanding his biography with more reliable sources. However, the existing sources and filmography are sufficient to meet the basic criteria for inclusion. Previous deletions should not impede a current, objective assessment of his notability based on his recent work. Therefore, I recommend keeping the article and renaming it to the correctly capitalized "Sanoj Mishra".

Weak keep: H-index of 6 is pretty low even in a low-citation field like psychology, and I can't find any GNG. However I think she could meet WP:NACADEMIC C3 via full membership in the International Academy for the Philosophy of Science (AIPS).[1] InsomniaOpossum (talk) 00:03, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Soft delete: Not enough impact for C1 of WP:NPROF. The 100 brilliant women award does not satisfy C2. C3 is closer; I confess that I had never heard of the IAPS, but it looks like it was founded by a group of giants in this field and its members are elected (see here). However, I cannot determine whether or not membership is truly prestigious, and I see that she is a corresponding member - that may not be as prestigious as being a full member. Since I can't tell, I am using it as one indicator of academic notability but not as fully satisfying it. C4-C6 don't apply. Her work for UNESCO and for GC REAIM indicate at least partial satisfaction of C7 of WP:NPROF but I think it's not enough. Editorial board membership, or service as an associate editor, is not the same as actually being the editor and does not satisfy C8. I think this is a strong faculty member but I am not yet seeing their work as being broadly impactful in the field. Perhaps in 5-10 years the situation will be different on one or more of the criteria, and I think that if the page is deleted it should be done "softly." Qflib (talk) 19:05, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Just double-checked because I thought I remembered she was listed as a full member in AIPS, and we're both right because there's a discrepancy: her profile on the AIPS website says she corresponding, but the AIPS membership list says full. I can't find any reliable independent sources which could clarify one way or the other. For what it's worth, it looks like corresponding members are non-voting but elected in the same fashion.

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

Present sourcing is all directly from film festivals, involved persons/production companies, social media, and one database page. Found no independent coverage or any sign that the listed awards are notable. Seems surprising given the involvement of Vanessa Redgrave, but even that is no guarantee. Opening this to AfD rather than PROD on the hope that another editor may find sources that I couldn't. Otherwise, this seems safely deletable. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 21:16, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article was created by a user with a history of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland-related drafts which have gone unapproved, and one article which was PRODded a year ago but saved. Admittedly, that one doesn't look much more promising than this one does, and I may have to propose another AfD for it later on if I get a chance. Seems like typical SPA issues.

I'm new to this but I really don't think this person is notable enough for an entire article.

I don't think the existence of a school board in rural Nova Scotia is enough to establish notability, unfortunately. One of many unsourced articles in its class.

Weak keep. Per above, does pass WP:NATH. That being said, this article and all other sportspeople stubs like it are practically pointless as they lack any real significant content that you couldn't get off of a chart. I'm not sure if just blindly citing notability guidelines is in the spirit of building an encyclopedia, but I'm also not sure how I really feel about pruning all these sportspeople stubs. Manually getting rid of all of them through AfD would take decades, which makes me think it's kind of a waste of our time. This is something that should be brought up for discussion eventually.

  • Keep per expansion I made, plenty of references available online for example this interview with the China News Service: [2]
To respond to User:Kylemahar902, I think the answer to content-less articles is to add content to them. I've seen dozens of NATH-passing articles in AfD over the last few years and for each one I can think of without exception, when you look hard enough there's always some prose-based coverage out there. The point of NATH isn't to be a lower standard but rather an indicator that coverage definitely exists if you look for it. --Habst (talk) 16:06, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academic journals, Organizations, and Lists. Randykitty (talk) 18:57, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:TNT. We should not be importing content from Wikidata, and that is the entirety of this list. It does not meet our standards for verifiability through reliable sourcing. And even for the entries that come with sources from Wikidata, they are of dubious independence from their subjects, generally formatted badly and unfixable by Wikipedia editing as the bad formatting comes from Wikidata. This should go as well for List of learned societies in the United States and List of learned societies in the United States, which have exactly the same issues. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:17, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - it seems to me that there are two issues. First does the list meet the criteria of WP:NLIST and second is it a useful thing for navigation per WP:LISTPURP-NAV. On the latter point, this is a long list of wikilinks which is a recognised form of navigation, other examples include List of banks (alphabetical). Returning to the former point, the question is whether the list is of notable things to the extent that having the page helps with a user navigating the encyclopedia. On this point I'm currently undecided. JMWt (talk) 19:50, 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.

You are correct about the filming. I read that filming began January 19, but that is for the second part as you pointed out. Still curious where the press is that makes the production notable for a film that is almost two years away from being released. Looking for press that isn't churnalism or based on announcements from the filmmakers. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:41, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Filming for Part 1 has already been completed. The pre-production of this film has been long ongoing, since 2017. It is a highly anticipated production, and it is a long project requiring extensive post-production, which is why it will be taking so long to release.

Ever since I joined Wikipedia, I've been trying to find the difference between Aden Governorate and Aden and today I am happy to announce that they are the exact same thing. Aden covers everything in this article except for the governor assassination part which should be merged and this article should be redirected to Aden.

This deletion would make it consistent with the Sanaa article which also includes the first-level subdivision 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 17:56, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well the thing is I didn't find a source that shows them as two separate entities 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 18:35, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Golbez Plus the Aden article does agree with me. Just a few hours ago before @2dk's copyedit the lead used to say: Aden is divided into eight districts: Tawahi, Mualla, Crater, Khur Maksar, Al Mansura, Dar Sad, Sheikh Othman, and Al Buraiqa. (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]

@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]

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

Semi-advertorialized article about a political figure, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL. The attempted notability claim here is that he's been secretary of a political party's local chapter in an individual district, with no indication that he's ever held any office that would count as "inherently" notable per NPOL -- but this does not cite any WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him to establish notability for other reasons, and instead is cited entirely to a mixture of primary sources that are not support for notability, and tangential verification of facts in sources that fail to mention his name at all in conjunction with them. (The only one, further, that does mention his name does so only in the context of being the credited photographer of the article's illustration — which is not support for notability either — rather than the subject of the coverage.)
It also warrants note that the creator is repeatedly trying to file the article in redlinked categories that don't even exist, as well as inappropriate categories that it wouldn't belong in (e.g. filing him in Category:Bridges, despite the fact that that Zid Aliasgar is not personally a literal bridge.) And while that isn't a deletion rationale per se, it does suggest that there's a WP:CIR issue here.
Nothing stated in this article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of coverage in reliable sources independent of himself. Bearcat (talk) 17:39, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is basically a local government planning construct, collectively determined by the City of Lincoln and North Kesteven and West Lindsey. It appears to have very little coverage outside of that local government grouping. The article, which looks closer to a list than an article, seems unclear as to what it is describing. The opening sentence, "Central Lincolnshire is the region of Lincolnshire in the East Midlands, England", seems very unclear to me. Then, everything listed, roads, railways, urban areas etc., is already covered in multiple other articles. The sourcing is mostly NOMIS/citypopulation.de data all of which could be moved into the relevant articles if wanted. KJP1 (talk) 17:28, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This actually has a short section in the county history; the problem is that it's rather boosterish and seems to imply that, well, we have a couple of businesses here at Stone Station, so surely it will develop into a proper town. That implies that it's not really a proper town yet, and while one business (the elevator/co-op) is still there, essentially nothing else is; even the rail line is gone. So not sure how to document this, if at all. Another source might be helpful. As it is, it looks like a former rail shipping point. Mangoe (talk) 17:01, 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!

    Thank you David. However, the Wikipedia article is not an accurate representation of my personal or professional biography. I tried to revise the article but Wikipedia would not allow me to do that. Therefore, after great effort to figure out how to do get in touch with the deletion editor, I requested that my article be deleted. Please do not try to prevent my article from being deleted, as well intended as you may be. Arthur Yaghjian Arthur D. Yaghjian (talk) 13:14, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not particularly arguing either way here, but one possible solution would be for someone with relevant expertise, perhaps David Eppstein or Ldm1954, to action Arthur D. Yaghjian's edit request, as an alternative to deletion. Looking at the edit history, it looks as if the edits were primarily rejected on copyright grounds rather than for conflict of interest. I have noticed that the editors responding to COI edit requests of late have become less and less inclined to honour even the most vanilla of changes and I can see why this might lead the subject of an article to request deletion. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:26, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I might suggest to ADY that (from my experience as the subject of a Wikipedia article) it generally works much better to suggest (on the article talk page) the facts that should be updated, rather than suggesting the wording of how to present those facts. Doing so sidesteps both the issue of copying copyrighted text that seems to have tripped up the requests in this case, and the issue of promotional rather than encyclopedic wording that often arises in other cases and is difficult to avoid when writing about yourself. One might also, following Burns, take the existence of an article describing how one appears to others as a blessing, rather than insisting that only one's own view of oneself can be presented. It does not make me sympathetic to a deletion request like this one to see a subject who would be happy for Wikipedia to host an autobiography but is unwilling to allow a biography to be edited and worded by others. Every once in a while I look at the article about myself, shake my head at its haphazard state, and speak to myself the magic incantation: someone else's problem. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:50, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Like David, I look at the article on me and shudder at some of the errors, then move on. While I am a sympathetic to the desire to have an accurate version, since those prior edits are blocked (for me) I can make no comments about what might be improved. Notability is very clear as I voted before. Can someone make the prior history more available.

  • Comment it's impossible for "normal" editors to assess what's wrong with the existing article because all of Yaghjian's edits have been revdelled, and the talk-page request doesn't say explicitly what's wrong with the article. The aim of WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE is to respect the privacy wishes of people whose wiki-notability is very borderline. We can't apply it willy-nilly, because we'd lose all articles about modest engineers who are embarrassed to have an article, and also all articles about un-modest engineers who won't tolerate an article that's not on their terms (I'm absolutely not commenting that either category applies in the current case). It's already hard enough to document engineers and engineering here, because they don't attract as much media attention as Social Influencers and Bollywood movies. I would prefer not to delete without pressing reasons, and I'd much prefer to see discussion of how to ensure the article is accurate and reflective of his career, than to delete it.

She herself has not been of interest to any reliable source individually. The person only has name mentions or notes about some facts related to her arrest in the sources. There is no other information available to use in the writing of a balanced biography. As you can see from the article, most of the content is facts about the arrest.

Multiple reputable, independent sources, including international human rights organizations and well-established media outlets, have reported on Nargiz Absalamova. Her case has been documented as part of a larger crackdown on Azerbaijani civil society, demonstrating that she is not just an incidental figure but a recognized political prisoner. The idea that she is “simply one of the individuals listed in a case” ignores the fact that many notable political prisoners worldwide have been recognized in similar circumstances.
WP:1E does not apply to cases of political repression that are part of an ongoing human rights crisis. There are multiple precedents on Wikipedia where political prisoners and persecuted activists—arrested in crackdowns—have notability established through human rights reports and international coverage. If Wikipedia hosts similar biographies of other Azerbaijani political prisoners, removing this one would be inconsistent and unfair.
I also want to highlight concerning patterns in the behavior of the editor opposing this article, which may indicate a conflict of interest (COI) or agenda-driven editing. There have been frequent removals or attempts to undermine content related to Azerbaijani political prisoners, edits that systematically favor the Azerbaijani government’s narrative while dismissing reliable independent sources, and targeted efforts to delete information about human rights abuses in Azerbaijan. Wikipedia’s mission is to ensure neutrality and reliable documentation—it should not be used to erase politically inconvenient subjects at the request of authoritarian regimes.
I encourage all editors to review the reliable sources available before making broad claims about notability. If necessary, I will request an administrator review this editor’s activity for potential bias or government-aligned influence. I am also open to further expanding the article with additional sources to ensure it meets Wikipedia’s standards. It is crucial that Wikipedia remains a platform for factual, independent knowledge and does not become a tool for state propaganda or information suppression. I welcome further discussion, but I urge all editors to act in good faith and according to Wikipedia’s core principles. Kromvell 1968 (talk) 11:48, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also disagree with the deletion. Nargiz Absalamova is a notable Azerbaijani journalist whose work and subsequent persecution have received significant international attention, meeting Wikipedia’s notability criteria.
Professional Contributions: As a journalist with Abzas Media, one of Azerbaijan’s few independent outlets, Absalamova has played a key role in reporting on critical issues such as environmental protests and corruption. Her investigative work has provided essential insights into topics often underreported in the region.
International Recognition and Coverage: Absalamova's arrest in December 2023, widely regarded as politically motivated, has been condemned by major international organizations. Amnesty International has highlighted her detention as part of a broader crackdown on dissent in Azerbaijan, and the Committee to Protect Journalists has reported on her case, emphasizing the silencing of independent media voices. Such coverage demonstrates her impact and the broader significance of her work.
Alignment with Wikipedia’s Notability Criteria: According to Wikipedia's guidelines on notability, a topic merits an article if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Absalamova's work and the international response to her arrest have been documented by reputable organizations and news outlets, affirming her notability. WP:GNG
Furthermore, Wikipedia's notability criteria for journalists state that individuals who are main personalities at notable news sources or have received significant coverage for their work meet the standards for inclusion. Absalamova's role at Abzas Media and the international attention her situation has attracted clearly satisfy these criteria.
Recently, I have observed multiple deletion nominations targeting independent Azerbaijani journalists who have been arrested. This raises concerns about potential politically motivated attempts to remove their presence from public discourse. Wikipedia's mission is to document notable individuals and events objectively, and erasing articles on persecuted journalists undermines that goal. Maintaining Absalamova’s article ensures that Wikipedia remains a comprehensive and balanced resource. Aspectreishauntingeurope (talk) 15:16, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Are you claiming a conflict of interest (COI) here? – The Grid (talk) 18:25, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This article has been nominated for deletion on the Azerbaijani Wikipedia, and I haven’t even participated in that discussion. In that discussion, Kromvell 1968 argued in favor of keeping the article, stating that if the person in question is not notable, then why was the article approved on the enwiki? Since this user attempted to manipulate the discussion with such an argument, and because I was genuinely interested in the enwiki community’s opinion on the article’s notability, I proposed its deletion here as well. I have clearly outlined, within the framework of the guidelines, why I believe the subject of the article is not notable. Kromvell 1968 insulted me in the comment he wrote in Azerbaijani above and has openly violated the rules. I am providing a translation of his comment below for you to read:
Trying to come here and delete an article just because the government says so is honestly pathetic—for your own sake. Maybe they’ve convinced you that you’re part of some kind of mystical information war just to make you feel important. But go read Nargiz’s bio again, take a look at what she achieved at an age close to yours, and then take a look at yourself. Courage is the only thing in the world that can’t be imitated.)))
His writing style in the comment and such admiration to the person indicate that the user has an interest in the article. Moreover, this user is making baseless accusations against me simply because I nominated the article for deletion, attempting to discredit me. It is clear that he is highly interested in keeping this article. Kromvell 1968 even attacked to the user who nominated the article for deletion on the azwiki. The contributions of both users involved in this discussion is entirely focused on this article, and in my personal opinion, they are either sockpuppets (the same person) or are closely connected, indicating a serious conflict of interest. This is why I am being attacked in this manner. This is just my opinion, but I think everything is clear. Sura Shukurlu (talk) 19:04, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In Azerbaijani Wikipedia, a user named "RəqəmsalTaleh" initiated discussions to delete articles about prominent political prisoners, systematically nominating multiple individuals for deletion. When I engaged in discussions with this user, I demonstrated—using Wikipedia’s own rules—that their arguments were factually incorrect and did not align with Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.
As a result, this user was blocked—not arbitrarily, but because they were found to have been paid to write articles on Wikipedia, violating Wikipedia’s conflict of interest (COI) policies. Despite the block, another user (who appears to be closely connected with "RəqəmsalTaleh") has now resumed this effort, nominating Nargiz Absalamova for deletion.
It is evident that this user has not conducted proper research on Absalamova’s case. Her reporting on the Soyudlu protests, as well as other critical topics, has been widely covered within Azerbaijan and internationally. Leading human rights organizations and international media outlets have recognized her work and condemned her politically motivated arrest. These sources clearly establish her notability as an independent journalist persecuted by an authoritarian government.
Given the Azerbaijani government's history of targeting Wikipedia editors and administrators who document human rights violations, I find it crucial to highlight the coordinated nature of these deletion attempts. The goal appears to be the systematic erasure of political prisoners and persecuted journalists from Wikipedia—a blatant attempt at information suppression.
I could provide extensive documentation on how similar smear campaigns have been orchestrated to manipulate public perception and suppress critical voices. Many of the sources this user considers "reliable" are themselves aligned with state-controlled narratives. However, I do not wish to engage in an extended dispute over this user’s motivations.
The objective fact remains:
Nargiz Absalamova is a widely recognized journalist in Azerbaijan.
She has received extensive international coverage from reputable sources.
She is currently jailed by the Azerbaijani government in retaliation for her reporting.
Attempts to delete this article are not based on Wikipedia’s rules but on political interests. Wikipedia should not be used as a tool for authoritarian censorship. Kromvell 1968 (talk) 20:20, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Grid the user who created the original article on AzWiki was imprisoned on 30 January, his imprisonment was announced on 31st.

previously deleted article not yet ready for namespace: non-WP:RS and WP:PRIMARY dependent BLP, no WP:SIGCOV by unrelated reliable sources. JFHJr () 04:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, I would like to mention that I am not very experienced in editing on the English Wikipedia and that I have been more active since June. I mainly contribute to the Serbian Wikipedia, where I am an administrator. On the Serbian Wikipedia, when an article has a "construction" template, no one edits it. So I assumed it was the same here. I haven't finished the article yet and plan to add more references. Here, I mostly write about musicians from jazz and classical music, and for them, there is often a problem with fewer available references. When I started editing here, an experienced user told me that the website allaboutjazz.com is considered a reliable source for musicians of this genre.I found Dorian Wallace while researching the article on John Sanborn (media artist), where his name was in red, and that led me to explore more about him. Could you please tell me which parts of the text are considered promotional? I did use his official website as a source, but I did not copy sentences directly. Dorian Wallace has been mentioned several times in The New York Times, but I haven’t included those references in the article because access requires a paid subscription. I do have a paid subscription—can I include those references in the article? The New York Times is a highly significant media outlet. If you allow me, I will add all the references I can find today and possibly tomorrow. If they are not adequate, you can delete the article. However, I kindly ask for your help in identifying which parts of the article should be removed to avoid promotional content. Thank you in advance for your guidance!--Марко Станојевић (talk) 14:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps to Superman#Merchandising given the one source mentioned here mentions it was used exclusively for that purpose? But even so it'd be a brief sentence.

The article does not meet WP:GNG as the sources mainly focus on the subject interviews and statements, without providing significant coverage. Majority of cited sources focus on Viraj Bahl company growth (revenue & product launches) rather than his personal notability as an individual. Refs (India.com, TimesNowNews, DNA India) lack depth or are promotional in tone. Coverage in outlets ( Inc42 and ET Retail ) primarily discuss Veeba as a company, not Viraj Bahl individual legacy or influence beyond his role as founder. While his role as a judge on Shark Tank India(2024) adds to his public profile, this is recent and may not yet be supported by independent sourcing to confirm lasting notability failing WP:NBLP and many of the sources here are exactly what WP:NEWSORGINDIA tells us to watchout for.

  • Keep– I respectfully disagree with Ratnahastin. The points made by the editors above especially DesiMooreo and Monhiroe regarding WP:GNG and WP:NBIO are valid and can not be overlooked. Having generic bylines does not necessarily mean an article is unreliable or paid for. The sources highlighted by Orange Sticker are neutral with no promotional tone and are totally usable here. I also don't agree with the claim that all the sources in the article are unbylined or promotional. In fact, the majority of the article's sources (about 17) are clearly bylined and come from reputable news outlets. For instance, sources like Forbes India, GQ India, Outlook Business, and Indiatimes are reliable independent and well-established with editorial oversight and significant coverage. These sources aren't promotional and are quite usable in establishing this person's notability. Indian Express, Times Now, and Economic Times are also good sources. Additionally, being a judge on Shark Tank, one of the most popular global business television shows, is significant. This individual has received significant media attention for his appearance on the show and continues to get more coverage from independent media as shown by online searches.EmilyR34 (talk) 04:53, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You clearly have ignored all concerns about WP:NEWSORGINDIA, the articles you have cited [29][30][31] (two of them with generic bylines)are nothing more than puff pieces and should be discounted per the guidance. - Ratnahastin (talk) 03:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm fully aware of WP:NEWSORGINDIA and everything I wrote above. Almost all media outlets, big or small, publish paid or sponsored content not just in India but worldwide. At the end of the day, media companies aren't nonprofits. Their main job is reporting, writing, editing, and presenting news to the public, but they mostly survive on advertising. You see a lot of display ads on their websites and advertisements in newspapers that's how they make money. That said major media outlets categorize paid stories separately. For example, The Times of India publishes them under "Spotlight," Hindustan Times under "Brand Media" or "Impact Feature," and Inc42 under "BrandLabs." These articles are usually puffery and easy to spot (not lecturing). You're right that they don't establish notability but that doesn't mean we should classify everything that isn't published under those specific categories in WP:NEWSORGINDIA just because they have generic bylines and only consider editorial content. Plenty of Wikipedia articles use sources without bylines. Major publications have strict editorial processes. Proper bylined articles go through rigorous review and fact-checking. I don't think all articles fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Sources includingForbes India, GQ India, and Outlook Business, provide reliable, independent coverage with editorial oversight and are valid sources. As for the other articles, I wouldn't call them puffery. Puffery is exaggerated or misleading praise. EmilyR34 (talk) 05:23, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    "publish paid or sponsored content" Yes with adequate disclosure, but that doesn't happen in India, you entirely missed the point of the guidance. Indian media is notorious for publishing paid news/coverage without any disclosure, they publish press releases, churnalist puff and promotional pieces as news, read User:Ms Sarah Welch/sandbox/Paid news and private treaties too. "I wouldn't call them puffery" - Did you even read them? They all have promotional tone. - Ratnahastin (talk) 05:35, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Let's not get into this sandbox as Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources/Perennial sources is the right place to discuss this- I understood what you're trying to prove with your comments, so let's focus on that.
    "But that doesn’t happen in India," as you claim, then why did these publications introduce paid content categories and choose not to publish such content under "Staff Reporter" or an editor's name? How did we find out that publications label content as "Brand Media," "Brand Post," "Featured Content," "Partnered Content," "Spotlight," or "Brand Lab" to indicate paid material? And how were they reported and included in WP:NEWSORGINDIA? Isn't that a disclosure?
    Just because some publications or journalists engage in this practice (posting paid content without proper disclosure) does not mean we should assume the same for every outlet. I'm not claiming media companies are NGOs (please refer to my previous comment carefully). However, making broad generalizations about all publications is neither accurate nor fair.
    Notability should be evaluated solely based on the sources used- if independent sources provide sufficient coverage, the subject meets our notability criteria.

WP:NOTNEWS. While this incident got plenty of coverage in primary sources, it is way too soon to suppose that will have WP:SUSTAINED coverage and will lead to secondary sources. There are also are aspects of WP:BLPCRIME, the two nurses don't need to have their names and actions highlighted for ever in an encyclopedia, they weren't notable and the event is in the end an anecdote, not a major event. Finally, I would like to compare this to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States proposed takeover of the Gaza Strip, a much more notable event which was deleted for NOTNEWS and similar considerations (but which has since continued to have real-world repercussions on a major scale). It seems hard to argue that that page warranted deletion, but as the arguments used there apply a hundred times more here, I don't see how the article on this minor incident can stay.

    Random ozzy here, not all that up yo speed with wikipedia policy, or procedure, but I did do some basic reading before weighing in, I want to question if blpcrime is applicable here, given that the notibility of the topic isn't that a crime was commited, but that such a position was made by staff in a state run health facility.
    I also think it is a notible event, as claims of antisemitism have been thus far not notible by present within the government health system. Where this has shot it into the spot light. It has launched a number of investigations by independent oversight bodies, not just of the incident, but of what is being claimed as a bigger problem. I feel as the event that is sparking such a major investivation, it gets notibility.
    Finally, i am very much unsure why its being compared to somthing big don proposed, i don't see the similarities between his pie on the sky ramblings, and an actual event that took place.
    Btw i lurk in the talk pages enough to know i need to be civil, and a few other bits, but please take my input with a grain of salt.

Keep Since I created the article maybe I'll be biased. But this incident created a national outrage, down to the Prime Minister commenting on it. It was covered in many of our major outlets, and even on international media such as NBC News, Fox News, BBC News and Al Jazeera. Moreover, international political YouTubers as well covered the videos and made commentaries on it. This was a huge deal and a shocking incident, particularly for Australian standards. So much that the NSW government is planning to create hate speech laws after it (or at least they've been entertaining that idea). Either way, this has been on the news quite a lot even for our standards. It's a blatantly prejudice incident that will not be forgotten. I'm sure such a similar racist incident at a hospital in the US wouldn't be seen as 'NOTNEWS'. But for Australian standards, and Wikipedia should not be US-centric (as it generally is), this was a prominent racist incident in our history. I mean, two nurses in a hospital saying they won't treat patients because of their ethnicity. This is barely a minor incident in a peaceful country like Australia. Hell, I would say that this article is a "strong keep", but I don't want to be too biased. Furthermore, the case is still ongoing as per the Investigation section of the article. This case will be something that will regularly appear on the news for months to come, and therefore more content will included and article expanded.

TOI is (unfortunately) one of the best sources in India, and its concern at RSP is because their paid content's labeling is not immediately obvious; the source cited in the article that features Dynamo does not seem to have the paid disclosure and has clear neutral tone and byline, so I believe it is not an advertorial. I also doubt Bonadea's claim that the awards are not notable. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:50, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you, Aaron Liu, for your thoughtful assessment. I appreciate your detailed breakdown of the sources. Based on previous feedback, I have worked on improving the article by adding more independent and reliable sources and ensuring a neutral tone to address concerns about notability.
    I have now included sources such as Inside Sports India, FirstPostz, Sportskeeda, Hindustan Times, an official X post by the Government, and an official post by the PUBG Mobile YouTube channel. These further establish significant coverage of Dynamo Gaming from reputable media outlets and official sources.
    Regarding the awards, I have tried to verify their notability and coverage—if you have any recommendations for strengthening this section, I’d be happy to refine it further. Sarthak14331 (talk) 17:05, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    None of the sources you added help notability. Interviews aren't secondary, InsideSports looks sketchy and has very little information and thus no significant coverage, the government is a good source for that claim but does not provide significant coverage, PUBG mobile has a financial interest in promoting itself and thus isn't really secondary, and SportsKeeda is completely user-generated with little editorial credibility. Aaron Liu (talk) 17:37, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your feedback, Aaron Liu. I understand the concerns regarding the nature of the sources, and I appreciate the clarification on what qualifies as significant coverage.
    I will look into adding more independent and in-depth sources that provide substantial coverage rather than just passing mentions or interviews. Based on your concerns, I will remove Sportskeeda and InsideSports as they do not meet Wikipedia's reliability standards. If you have any recommendations for reliable sources that could help establish notability, I’d be grateful for the guidance.
    Regarding the government source, while it may not provide significant coverage on its own, it does help verify certain claims. I’ll also review the other sources and see if there are better alternatives that align with Wikipedia’s guidelines on reliable secondary sources.
    Thanks again for your time and insights—I’ll work on improving the article accordingly. Sarthak14331 (talk) 17:59, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aaron Liu:I apologize for the confusion regarding the removal of the Sportskeeda reference. Upon reviewing the edit history, I see that you were the one who removed it, not me. I misspoke earlier, and I appreciate you pointing that out. Thank you for catching that.
Regarding Dynamo Gaming, I believe it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines due to its significant presence in the esports community and the Indian gaming industry. It has been covered by reliable, independent sources that highlight its achievements and impact.
Thank you for bringing up the concern about refbombing. I want to clarify that my intention was not to overwhelm the article with references but to provide sufficient evidence of Dynamo Gaming's notability. Each reference I included is from a reliable, independent source and directly supports the content in the article.

So here we hit yet another conundrum in Jasper County, which seems to have more than its share, mostly due to Mr. Gifford of railroad fame. And this is plainly a point on a railroad (though not on his), as I find a tax assessment for the depot. The problem is that leaving out a soil series name use, everything is either using this to locate various properties/people, or records a series of industrial/agricultural facilities at the spot, of which there are three at present: a trailer manufacturer which occupies the westernmost and oldest spot, an ag co-op which may be the descendant of the oldest documented business, and a bio-energy plant which is a relative newcomer. The irregular lake to the north is the remains of the fourth business, a quarry which was apparently opened up around 1960. Both the co-op and the quarry have secondary documentation; interestingly, I also found this ad for a property sale, a tile factory which clearly wasn't here, but the agent of the seller apparently was. Or at least, he picked up his mail there. But once again, there's no sign anyone ever lived here. There was what looks from the air like a farmstead directly at the RR crossing in 1957, but it disappears after that; another disappears into the quarry property. Otherwise it's all farm fields surrounding the industry. Can anyone find something that actually describes the place? Mangoe (talk) 04:09, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Following from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of the Marvel Universe (3rd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is the last of those three fictional universe descriptions in a list form. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST; Wikipedia articles are not places for pure plot summaries, and as a list, this is too broad (list of all fictional in-universe concepts related to Spider-Man). PS.

Merge and consolidate into Spider-Man per Trailblazer. I was worried this would be some massive pile of information to sift through, but the info in the article is relatively concise. Barring the three locations with pre-existing articles, there are two schools and one prison. These locations contain a lot of unneeded information (Do we really need lists of minor characters without articles?) and can be trimmed quite easily to slot somewhere into the Spider-Man article. All locations, including those with articles, can be mentioned in brief there, with a summary explaining what each location is and why it is important to the Spider-Man mythos.

    An all-or-nothing rule seems ill-considered here, given that Wikipedia has tons of lists of instances for which some are notable and have articles while others are not (e.g., List of mayors of Florence). BD2412 T 17:23, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Notability of a list is often based on the notability of the subject group. Largely unfamiliar with your hyperlinked article, but an important governmental position is likely to be more covered in sources than a list of fictional locations with no sourcing showcasing real world relevance. Many of the subjects in the list are entirely non-notable, and the subject itself isn't notable, either. Notability should not be inherited from the few locations that are notable, either.
    Also note that CSC 2 says that "Before creating a stand-alone list, consider carefully whether such lists would be better placed within a "parent" article." CSC 2 isn't exactly a blanket keep statement, even if all the subjects fail notability. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 17:49, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    My reasoning here is that Spider-Man is an article on a specific fictional character, not the entire universe this character occupies, which is separately notable. Although this universe is a subset of the Marvel Comics universe it has locations and characters (many of these separately notable) that arise from it and that are specific to Spider-Man media. This is reflected in fact that there are three separate film franchises, including the 1970s one, around this character and their environs completely unconnected to the MCU or anything else Marvel. Of course, there is also the MCU-adjacent film series, which also reflects the locations and character specific to the Spider-Man universe. Perhaps the title of this article needs to be adjusted to reflect that or the criteria for inclusion of content needs to be clarified, but it will not be at all difficult to demonstrate GNG worthy coverage at this fictional world I've tried with the character itself. BD2412 T 18:46, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no indication the Universe of Spider-Man is a notable topic either, though. That's my main concern. Regardless of title, this is just a non-notable topic unless sourcing can be shown. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Which is why there should be allowed time to find sources to prove whether it is or not, rather than forcing an AfD with inconclusive information. This is something to hash out at the list talk, not here. AfD should be a last resort, not a garbage dumb to prove a point. Trailblazer101 (talk) 05:22, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm personally of the mind that if it's at AfD, we may as well stick with the discussion while it's here, but I see your point. Decided to do a quick source run to double check details. There's a fair few hits in News for Sony's shared movie universe, but that's already covered at Sony's Spider-Man Universe, and when Sony is removed, there's not much outside of trivial Wikipedia:VALNET hits, which don't count toward notability. There's a brief hit here [40], but that's very short and more discussing characters than locations. Outside of that, Books has little bar trivial mentions using it as a buzzword for Spider-Man media. I can't view every scholar hit, but there seems to be a lot of hits on the multiverse in Spider-Man, but again that's an entirely different subject. There may be some hits I missed but I did take a look through everything I could and found little. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:45, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:58, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If the title is an issue, I would be comfortable with either List of Spider-Man features, Features from the Spider-Man universe, or List of features in Spider-Man media. "Spider-Man universe" would be too ambiguous as it could also refer to the Spider-Verse or Sony's Spider-Man Universe, and I feel if we titled it with "concepts", then the scope would have to change to encompass the Spider-Verse, Symbiotes, cloning, etc. Trailblazer101 (talk) 02:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Piotrus: You are misunderstanding "media" here, which I grant may be due to my use of the word in a jargony way. It just means the media in which the work is produced. This is a list of features originating in the comic books (as things relating to Spider-Man generally do) and then used in other Spider-Man media, such as TV series, video games, and films. BD2412 T 02:08, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Usually, Wikipedia terms "lists" as lists, while only excluding the term once the page becomes the host of built-out encyclopedic content. e.x. Characters of The Last of Us (TV series)—versus—List of Phineas and Ferb characters.
    In this case, however, I believe that adding verbiage to the title in order to differentiate a "list" from a "built out bastion of encyclopedic information"—that would just be, well, verbiage.
    I may wager that this specific page would require sources of literature on the subject, not just the WP:GOOGLETEST. Doesn't mean it's not notable, just means a different medium would need to be researched. BarntToust 13:13, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    List of features in Spider-Man media alternatively would be a fantastic title. BarntToust 13:14, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I mean either way the subject just isn't notable. Just because it's renamed doesn't change the fact there's no coverage on the topic of features, locations, or the universe of Spider-Man specifically, especially as a group, which is required for a list to meet standalone notability. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 04:37, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Pokelego999: I think we are approaching this from very different mindsets, because to me this is like saying that the entirety of the world constructed around Spider-Man, apart from the character itself, is not notable, even though the same set of fictional locations and environs are re-used throughout many different adaptations of the original property into many different media. BD2412 T 17:56, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @BD2412 just because they are re-used does not mean they are instantly notable. We need sources to back up notability, none of which are demonstrated here. As I said before, there may be sources on individual concepts (Stuff like Daily Bugle and Oscorp, though I admittedly haven't checked for those) or on related concepts (Like the multiverse in Spider-Man) but if there's no sourcing on a topic, in this case the Spider-Man universe, than it's just non-notable, regardless of any assumed assertions of notability. If you can provide sources to back up your claims I'd be willing to potentially reconsider, but right now you're basically saying Wikipedia:ITSNOTABLE and nothing more. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:01, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    There is literally a New York Times article cited on this page just about Aunt May's house. Most of the locations detailed in this article are included in Sanderson, Peter (2007). The Marvel Comics Guide to New York City. New York City: Pocket Books. pp. 30–33, 221–22. ISBN 978-1-4165-3141-8. Retrieved 18 July 2015.. This is sourced. BD2412 T 19:16, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Notability of the concept is not INHERITED from the notability of individual locations. Regardless of whether its a standalone article or a list, coverage must be shown of that article's primary topic specifically. If it's a list, coverage must be shown of the subject as a group for it to meet notability. Using today's FA as an example, Tesla and unions is notable because there's coverage of Tesla's relationship with labor unions specifically. If all the coverage was about one specific union and nothing else, we'd have an article on that union, and not an article on an overall topic that doesn't have coverage. For an example from something I've been working on recently, we have articles on individual games in the Pokémon Stadium series, but not an overall series article. This is because there is no coverage on the series as a whole, but there is enough coverage on the individual games that each can sustain an article. If Aunt May's house has the coverage for an article, so be it, but that does not mean the Spider-Man universe, or the features of said universe, are notable because Aunt May's house is.
    As for your book, I can't gauge much of the exact content of that book you're citing because it's paywalled, so there may be some SIGCOV on the entire concept of a Spider-Man universe or locations independently of the Marvel Universe in there, but that can't really be gauged unless you have access to the book and can provide exact quotations within it. If it's just the concept of individual locations being discussed (Obviously don't know if this is in the book or not, but if the coverage is just on Oscorp or the Daily Bugle specifically and nothing else, for example) and not the overall concept, that still falls into the pitfalls I've mentioned above regardless of what kind of source it's coming from.

I seem to keep coming across redundant and unnecessary DAB pages like this.

Cabin Creek, Indiana (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

I have mixed feelings about this, in large part because it is an African-American place, and the documentation on these tends to be sketchy. The issue here, however, is that once again the article does not accurately relate what the thesis (which is the only source I could find outside GNIS) says about the place. The key failure is in the statement that "it was the home of several families [of] free African Americans", because it says that about the whole Cabin Creek Settlement. The "Scott's Corner" part pertains only to the store, due to the name of the proprietor. It doesn't actually say there was a town there, and it doesn't say that people lived at the corner. At least, that's how it reads to me. And it's basically an isolated intersection now, and furthermore, the aerials indicate that the two houses on the NE corner are recent, and that there was once another building on the SE corner which disappeared around 2010. It might have been the store at some point, or maybe not. It would be nice to find something else to go by, but for instance the county history (which was written early as these things go) doesn't mention it. So reluctantly I think this will need to go unless someone can find better verification. Mangoe (talk) 02:40, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    No offense, but these sources are almost entirely plot summary, with the exception of the Batpod, which is dev info that feels more fitting at the respective film's article. Guidebooks really can't help with Wikipedia:SIGCOV, as they're basically wholly plot summary, failing Wikipedia:NOTPLOT, as there's no content in there that shows how the subject has had a real-world impact. You can't even argue that the fact it was included in the guidebook was noteworthy, because the guidebooks include quite literally everything Batman-related, including several subjects deemed non-notable in past AfDs, such as the Batboat mentioned above.
    I will also note that this exact argument (including these exact sources, bar the Batpod one) was used in the Batboat AfD, where it was determined to redirect the article despite the presented coverage. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 17:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Global Shining Light Awards is bereft of eminence or substantial prestige in any capacity.

"Super culture" doesn't seem to be an established term in anthropology. The book referenced actually says "To correspond with the term "sub-culture", a new term "super-culture" might be invented..." which suggests to me this is a term that was only used by few people.

Looking at the List of mayors of Las Cruces, New Mexico, the only one besides Miyagishima who has a Wikipedia page is Albert Johnson, who is obviously notable as the first black mayor anywhere in New Mexico.

  • Delete. I am going to put the suspicious timing of this proposal aside and try to comment on the merits of the proposal. Local politicians are not automatically notable, nor are they not automatically not notable. Reasons a local politician could be notable are longevity in service (Robert L. Butler, Margaret Doud, or Hilmar Moore) or notable activity in office (Betty Loren-Maltese or Rita Crundwell). Such activity need not be crimes. There are also people like Brandon Bochenski who meet GNG for unrelated reasons and just happen to now hold office. Points weighing in favor are that Las Cruces, New Mexico is the second most populous city in New Mexico. WP:POLOUTCOMES states that mayors of regionally significant cities can generally meet GNG. First person of Japanese-Mexican descent specifically. That is just too into the weeds to warrant its own article. If he were the first Asian-American to hold such a position in the state or multi-state region, I could possibly be persuaded that this could become a keep. Points weighing in favor of deletion are that he does not appear likely to meet GNG even with the points in favor. There is also fluff designed to mask a lack of notability. From 1998 through 2000, he was voted "Best County Commissioner" in a local newspaper readers' poll. or He is also the second person in Doña Ana County to have been elected both chairman of the Doña Ana County Commission and mayor of Las Cruces. When politicians meet notability criteria, this stuff does not appear in their articles.--Mpen320 (talk) 18:10, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The timing of this nomination was not a coincidence at all. I first found about Miyagishima's page when he was added to the 2026 NM-Gov race as a potential candidate. I immediately thought he wasn't notable and nominated the page for deletion. It feels very weird to see Jeff Singer--whose reporting I have cited on Wikipedia dozens of times at this point--spreading conspiracies about me.

Reply. I was trying to get ahead of the allegation and instead just boosted it. Sorry. I created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mazi Melesa Pilip and got dogpiled on so I really should be more sensitive to that.--Mpen320 (talk) 21:09, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The expectation of a stand alone page for a local government official is significant coverage of the official's accomplishment and legacy while in office. The KOAT source cited in the article does have a couple short paragraphs about his accomplishments in office. However, there are a other sources that do discuss his legacy in office in more depth that are not currently referenced - this Channel 4 News segment, this KRWG story, and this story in the Las Cruces Bulletin. --Enos733 (talk) 18:31, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Two of the articles you cited are retrospectives published after Miyagishima left office and the third is about him expressing interest in a return to politics. All three are from outlets local to the Las Cruces area. That's all coverage you would expect to see for a local elected official, and IMO all three are examples of run of the mill coverage.

While this would not count on its own, the subject was quoted in the NY Times, "It’s a challenge,” Mayor Ken Miyagishima said. “If you look at the history of America, they left England because they didn’t really want to be told what to do. I think that’s in the fiber of Americans.” He was the featured mayor in an AP article published in 2019 that talked about the rise of mayors of color (that was picked up by the Canadian Press. He was also featured in a story that ran in the Chicago Sun Times (and other papers) about Super PACs engaged in local elections. Yes, there is a lot of coverage by the local paper, but these other sources show interest outside of New Mexico. And while we generally discount coverage of a statewide political campaign, that coverage cannot be completely ignored. - Enos733 (talk) 16:05, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The NYT article only mentions him once and the AP article has one brief paragraph about him at the beginning of a longer story. The Chicago Sun Times article is better but it's mostly about the Super PACs, he's only mentioned incidentally. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 17:18, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest that being the lead feature/vignette in a national publication is much more than run of the mill coverage, suggesting the subject is "worthy of notice" (WP:N). If all we had is one paragraph in source A and one paragraph from source B and one paragraph from source C, then I would agree with deletion or AFD. But in this case the NYT, AP, Chicago Sun Times (and other) stories expand on the local coverage, showing that the subject is noticed outside the local area. I also continue to think that the local coverage of this subject would be sufficient to meet GNG on its own. I also have not looked at every article that mentions the subject, which numbers in the 1000s, and even in the hundreds outside of New Mexico - Enos733 (talk) 17:36, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per meeting WP:GNG with significant coverage independent of the subject in ABQ Journal, Las Cruces Sun News, Las Cruces Bulletin, local network affiliates, this AP piece, and coverage found by Enos733. Arguments about the size of Las Cruces or how many other LC mayors have wikipages are irrelevant. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:54, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply. Your point ignores Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill. This at face value covers all you mention except the AP article. If there were more coverage of that scale (ideally with more depth than provided by the AP article), it might be different. I do see another user mentioned other coverage, but I'm not persuaded there either.--Mpen320 (talk) 21:06, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of notability. Three deadlinks and all but one of the remainder are affiliated or interviews. Only the BBC source reliably confirms the existence of Kumawood. Searches reveal social media sources but nothing that amounts to a WP:RS. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk   23:50, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No consensus yet, but "keep" !voters are invited to share specific sources rather than asserting notability or linking to a list of search results.

Sigh.... - as noted in the nomination, my own searches found many sources including those now restored. However, none of them, in my view, demonstated notability. Many are affiliated and even the source from "New African Cinema" only has two brief mentions which is well short of conveying notability. Several others are interviews with the CEO and clearly affiliated. I do, and will, restore sources where I believe that an article justifies keeping, but where the sources are clearly too weak, my efforts are better directed elsewhere IMHO.  Velella  Velella Talk   02:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A promotional vanity page and almost certainly an WP:AUTOBIO by a non-notable individual. Fails WP:NOTRESUME, WP:NOTPROMO. Fails WP:GNG for lack of WP:SIGCOV in independent, secondary, reliable sources. Fails all criteria of WP:NACADEMIC as a relatively junior researcher with a low to mediocre h-index of 7 and no evidence of passing on any other criterion. The sources are entirely limited to institutions with which he was or is affiliated, or to his own articles. WP:BEFORE search turns up nothing else qualifying.

  • Delete for reasons given above. FYI: I and another editor removed large amounts of content - mine because my opinion was that it did not contribute to notability and the other editor stated reason as content was promotional. So the cuts were not of content that would support keeping the article. David notMD (talk) 04:34, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
