I couldn't find sufficient independent sources with significant coverage of the subject so as to meet WP:BIO. In addition, the first paragraph at least reads in a very WP:PROMO way. SunloungerFrog (talk) 23:46, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

- Delete - Lacking details. It says she's a "ICF-accredited Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and former CEO". What was she a CEO of? And what exactly was she coaching and to whom? — Maile (talk) 00:33, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: No news coverage outside of the BBC article, a "Best of" list, which usually isn't notable. I don't see anything about this person, this is PROMO. Oaktree b (talk) 02:01, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. My concerns about poorly sourced BLPs have come true. Either someone has to fix this, or we must delete it. Bearian (talk) 01:52, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

As community consensus has shown, ambassadors are not inherently notable. The first source is a directory listing, the other 2 are dead. The 2 google news hits are small mentions. Fails WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 22:52, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Bilateral relations, and Lebanon. LibStar (talk) 22:52, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – While ambassadors may not be inherently notable, they are presumed to be notable under WP:NPOL. If you wish to contest this, either explain why it would not apply to ambassadors, or make an RfC to seek community consensus to have it changed. Most definitions of what a politician is would apply to ambassadors, who hold a national position. Additionally, the dead link indicates coverage. – Ike Lek (talk) 23:22, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Consensus is very clear, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Humaira Hasan, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Salem Yahya Alkharejah. But you keep insisting there is inherent notability when no one agrees with you. Where is your consensus? LibStar (talk) 23:27, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- My consensus is WP:NPOL, specifically this revision [1], which is a higher level of consensus than AfD. Bringing up previous AfDs is a very "other stuff doesn't exist" argument.
- Also, I very clearly specified that I was not claiming inherent notability, so I would appreciate if you struck that. Ike Lek (talk) 23:46, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- inherent, presumed notability...same thing. LibStar (talk) 23:49, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- No. Very much not the same thing. Ike Lek (talk) 23:50, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Previous AfDs (especially recent ones) are highly relevant as they show community consensus. You even said consensus can change, yes it can, but not evidenced in recent AfDs. You even tried an unsuccessful deletion review to desperately salvage your viewpoint on inherent/presumed notability. LibStar (talk) 23:52, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- I advice you to read WP:CONLEVEL. If you believe there is consensus against the current wording of policy, then RfC is the way to address that. Ike Lek (talk) 23:58, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- As stated here "If you want to debate notability standards, I advise you to bring it to a policy talk page where other editors who are interested in the subject matter can weigh in. Editors interested in developing policies and guidelines are unlikely to see an AFD discussion." LibStar (talk) 00:00, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- I'm referencing a policy. You are referencing one editor's statement. Ike Lek (talk) 00:06, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- Also, that supports my claim anyway. If you want to change policy, you should take it to RfC or the talk page. You are the one proposing a change and claiming that AfDs establish consensus for developing policies. I don't know why you would quote that, as it supports the notion that your previous AfDs do not impact consensus on policy. Ike Lek (talk) 00:13, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- There is no presumed notability for ambassadors, no matter how hard you try to wpin it or use deletion reviews to overturn delete decisions determined through consensus. LibStar (talk) 09:24, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

- Delete ambassadors do not have presumed notability and the subject fails GNG. Ckfasdf (talk) 08:12, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:BIO. Note that ambassadors are not presumed to be notable under WP:NPOL - I question the attempt to sneak in a novel policy interpretation, and don't even understand the reasoning. Here is NPOL bit by bit:
- Politicians and judges Ambassadors are neither politicians nor judges as such. Some are, many are not.
- who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office Ambassadorship is not a political office.
- or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. Of course, they have not done ethis either.
- This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them. They are not elected to offices.
- Major local political figures They are not local political figures.
- who have received significant press coverage. Some have, many have not.
- Geschichte (talk) 14:19, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- I don't get how you claim ambassadors don't hold a political office. Ambassadors are absolutely politicians by nature of holding a political office. Can you cite a definition of politician that would exclude ambassadors? Ike Lek (talk) 16:24, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: I agree with Geschichte's analysis of ambassador notability, and am slightly confused as to why @Ike Lek is citing a specific revision of WP:NPOL from 2015 containing since-removed ambassador specific material to support their assertion of consensus, while also referencing current wording of policy when discussing WP:CONLEVEL. Epsilon.Prota talk 17:43, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- I am showing when consensus was achieved that ambassadors are not excluded from WP:NPOL, and then making a WP:CONLEVEL argument for past AfDs not being able to establish a consensus overruling a policy. – Ike Lek (talk) 05:47, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: per Geschichte's analysis of NPOL and a lack of sources for GNG. Politicians
participate in policy-making processes
which is not true for most diplomats and ambassadors. Moritoriko (talk) 07:11, 26 August 2025 (UTC) - Delete. Ambassadors have no standing of presumed notability at NPOL. Fails WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 19:32, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:16, 26 August 2025 (UTC)- @Liz, how can the consensus be any "clearer". Geschichte (talk) 09:55, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - I fought hard against the development of the consensus that ambassadors are not notable. I lost. We must be consistent. Read the news, folks. This person lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 01:57, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Shrek (franchise)#Shrek 5 (2027). Some keep arguments have not engaged substantively with the requirements for a film's notability prior to release, and as such receive lower weight. There remain legitimate arguments on either side about whether the coverage of the production is sufficient for notability, but the argument against a standalone article has more support at this time. Users interested on working on this in draftspace may make a copy from the history. Assuming production doesn't hit a snag recreation is inevitable, but I would encourage interested editors to write an article only when it has substantive new material.

WP:TOOSOON. To be released in summer 2027. Not ready for mainspace. All promotional, routine and announcements. Article should be moved to DRAFT or REDIRECT to Shrek_(franchise)#Shrek_5_(2027). RangersRus (talk) 22:55, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - As it passed GNG by most of the sources talking about it and it is actually a confirmed film so WP:NFF does not apply here. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 01:13, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep meets WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. In regards to WP:NFF, the film is clearly past pre-production. Production itself is also notable. jolielover♥talk 06:29, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Comment. Voters should have understanding of WP:NFILM guidelines and the coverages needed for the film to pass notability. Coverages should be from secondary independent reliable sources. From the above source analysis, it is very clear that the film does not pass notability as of yet. Maybe in the future when close to release date when multiple critical reviews are generated. RangersRus (talk) 15:20, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- Draftify or Delete - It is clear that some of the voters have misread the future film guideline, which is a poorly written guideline that has caused confusion for at least a decade. Films fall into three stages:
- 1. Films that are not yet in production, which are not notable.
- 2. Films that have entered or completed production, which are notable if production itself has been notable.
- 3. Films that have been released.
- The guideline for the second stage, between production and release, is poorly written, but only provides that the film is notable if production has been notable. Significant coverage of the fact that the film is in the works is not sufficient. The coverage is mostly promotional and has aspects of crystal balling. This film, like most films between production and release, is not notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:19, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- Draftify - Per source analysis, it's not at all clear that the production of the film has been notable, and a rather astonishing number of the sources are entirely speculative. @Robert McClenon's analysis is spot on, and per nom this is WP:TOOSOON. The Shrek 5 section on the main Shrek (franchise) article is reasonably robust - would be equally happy with a redirect to there before significant coverage allows creation of a separate article. Epsilon.Prota talk 17:13, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

- Comment. These above sources in French, Spanish and German (edited: auto type error that mentioned Dutch before) are nothing that has not already been discussed in source analysis for English articles. Routine news mostly covering the postponement of the film from 2026 to 2027 but I will do a quick analysis of these.

So no significant coverage to pass notability. RangersRus (talk) 12:17, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- I beg to differ. Routine, how? It’s significant and focusing on the film. It’s coverage about aspects of the production (cast, story, style) and its release. Plenty more exists. - E. Ux 12:21, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- For the record, I did not list any Dutch source......only French, German, Spanish and Portuguese...I can add some in Czech, Polish, Italian, Galician, and Dutch etc, though, as significant coverage in many languages exist - E. Ux 12:27, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Its ok to differ Eva UX/Mushy Yank. But like in analysis that none of them had significant coverage enough to pass WP:NFILM, that talked about same subject "postponement". Even if you add sources from any more different languages here and if they are all about same topic that has already been analysed above and for English sources, it will be of no help. RangersRus (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

- Draftify or Delete - Per source analysis, it is still too early, has info that doesnt specify anything about filming, story nor meets significant coverage. just bcoz its a part of successful series doesnt really mean it has to be mainspace. Bonadart (talk) 10:17, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

- Draftify I feel like considering the release date is over two years away, this article feels a little bit premature. Maybe we can combine it with the Shrek page, but overall, it just feels too early. At least to me. OrlandoApollosFan69 (talk) 05:43, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Shrek_(franchise)#Shrek_5_(2027): The source analyses above are fairly convincing, but this film will almost certainly be notable in the next year, so redirecting preserves the page history when it's ready to be a standalone page. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:56, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

The film may be little less than two years away, but it already exists and it has plenty of reliable sources, so there’s no real need to delete it just to recreate it in the near future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.243.172.162 (talk) 01:15, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- I don’t think we shall delete this article and recreate it in the future.
- Godzilla x Kong: Supernova and Avengers: Secret Wars releases in two years in 2027 and its article hasn’t been deleted only for it to be planned to be recreated after a year or two has it?

- Redirect to Shrek_(franchise)#Shrek_5_(2027), I guess. Shouldn't be a red link given that there is at least some sourced info but not quite enough to justify a separate article per NFF. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:17, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: There'll be always things about this film as time goes on. We might need to add material from official, reliable, independent, and third-party sources if any appears. Besides being maintained occasionally and people searching for new material, this article shouldn't go anywhere. CreatorTheWikipedian2009 (talk) 14:14, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

It has been suggested that legislation is automatically considered notable under WP:GNG, WP:RS, etc.
- WP:PSTS states that "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources"
- WP:WPNOTRS says "Primary sources are often difficult to use appropriately. Although they can be both reliable and useful in certain situations, they must be used with caution in order to avoid original research."
The excessive use of primary sources in this article strays into original research. (the primary legislation it was made under, other statutory instruments, and a document written by the administering government department.)
I don't think this topic is notable enough to warrant its own article.
While I have found three secondary sources which mention the regulations, none of them explain the details contained within it.

Fails GNG. Not supported by independent sources. Lacks notability.Keith H99 (talk) 12:25, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- 1. The existence of an entity known as the "New Orleans Squadron" would appear to be the creation of a banned user. Neither primary nor secondary sources use this term to describe the assets of the United States Navy that were stationed at New Orleans. 2. This is written by an indefinitely suspended user with a history of adding essays to wikipedia. 3. It lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS necessary to meet WP:GNG. 4. Given that this "unit" is not documented elsewhere, it is a new "unit" as theorised by the creator's original research. This "unit" is not recognized as such by the United States Navy. 4. The article is unsourced, like a lot of the fantasy essays that he published on wikipedia. It is a given that one of the ships mentioned was at the Battle of Lake Borgne but it was not there as part of this fantasy "unit".

- Comment: I checked my sources as well. While I support the deletion of the current article due to the lack of citations and questionable content, it appears that the title of New Orleans Squadron was retroactively made to refer to the gaggle of Navy-related boats in the area, and as such counts as original research/imaginative. I have found nothing that refers to an established squadron raised for the War of 1812. This article from the USNI refers to a formal New Orleans Station tasked with the protection of American assets in the region that fought during the war. The American Battlefield Trust also refers to an to the small fleet in the region that defended the area. The article could be true if mentions of an established unit are removed.
- On a related note, I saw your comments on the article's talk page. I can confirm that a Tickler did exist during the campaign, although it is questionable weather she was commissioned or not. Many of the small 1-gun gallies have little information on them, as they were likely purchased for the wart. GGOTCC 16:15, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: After a quick Google scholar search, I've found a few sources that mention "New Orleans Squadron" ([11], [12], [13], [14]), though I'm not sure it applies to the same squadron mentioned in the article. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:10, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Significa liberdade
- The existing article states the Squadron existed from an undetermined start date through 1838. I do not believe this to be the case, insofar as a different group name of the Navy vessels, being those of the "New Orleans Station", was used to refer to those vessels in this locality.
- The articles, upon first glance, would appear to relate to an entity that was in existence decades later, and certainly after the date when it was purportedly merged with the Home Squadron.
- It appears an entity of this name was in existence, albeit fifty years later, and whose vessels did not therefore participate in the War of 1812.
- The article was created by an editor who created a number of fantasy essays, the content of which did not stand up to scrutiny. Some of their fantasy content lingered on wikipedia for many years. This seemed like another essay that could not be rewritten and was best deleted. Keith H99 (talk) 15:52, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, Keith H99! I have no issue with this article being deleted, just wanted to share a few sources I found that might be useful. It is worth noting that one of the sources is discussing 1814 and mentions the Squadron. Again, I have no idea if this is the same squadron discussed in the article. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:55, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hello again,
- The Vogel article (via JSTOR) has "New Orleans" in uppercase, and "squadron" in lowercase. As such it is using a collective noun to describe some vessels, and is not referring to a formally titled body of ships that is a permanent formation.
- A search was performed within the excellent fourth volume of The Naval War of 1812, Edited by Hughes & Brodine, Jr., from the Naval Historical Center. There were no instances of "New Orleans Squadron" that I encountered. Given this is a US Navy publication, via the G.P.O., I would have expected the proper nouns of US Navy formations to be in evidence within this publication, where a bona fide formation exists.
- https://www.history.navy.mil/research/publications/publications-by-subject/naval-war-of-1812.html
- I am puzzled that if an entity of this name was in existence during the American Civil War, why has this not been reflected in this article, within the last 15 years? Keith H99 (talk) 16:19, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Of pertinence to this article, I looked at the US Navy's website entry for USS Louisiana.
- https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/l/louisiana-i.html
- They refer to the sloop as "The heaviest and most powerfully armed ship in Patterson's small flotilla". Were it the case that the formation commanded by Patterson were known as the "New Orleans Squadron" then I would have expected such a term to have been used here. Keith H99 (talk) 21:24, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Significa liberdade.
- I am pleased to report that the other article, a copyright violation for nearly 15 years, has been addressed by a root-and-branch rework.
- It does seem that the banned user only "wrote" when putting together his nationalistic fantasy essays, and for the genuinely noteworthy topics, he plagiarised content from elsewhere on the internet. Keith H99 (talk) 15:11, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

- Weak keep, seems to have been been the subject of a couple moderate-length newspaper profiles about his personal life,[1][2] and the loss of his job in 1989 was covered by multiple large newspapers, who both called him a "fixture".[3][4] From across the country, a New York Daily News reporter called him "popular" in 1988[5] and his 1998 visit to his North Dakota hometown was front page local news.[6] As recently as 2011, an article in the San Francisco Chronicle called him a "major name".[7] Most recently interviewed by the California Historical Radio Society who seem to treat him as a figure of some prominence, although I can't tell how important this organization is.[8] I'm still calling my !vote here "weak" because I'm not sure how much of this coverage is routine for 1980s radio and television performers, so other editors contextualizing these articles would be helpful.

I could not find enough secondary sources to establish notability.
In some situations, it has been suggested that legislation automatically meets WP:RS, WP:GNG, etc, but this isn't true.
- WP:PRIMARY states "Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them."
- WP:SIGCOV states "'Significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content" and that sources "should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability."
I found 1 source that mentions the legislation but I haven't been able to substantiate what it says, because I don't have access to it.

- Delete – per WP:GNG, as the provided media are either unreliable or fail WP:SIGCOV.
- The headlines from the first source, PHOTO. Yastremska's sister showed her beauty. 10 out of 10, PHOTO. Bared her legs. Ukrainian tennis player impressed with her look, PHOTO. The Ukrainian tennis player published spicy photos. Fire. Clear case of tabloid journalism. They basically reported that she posted something to Instagram.
- OK. Report that she started her professional tennis career.
- Again, this is a tabloid-style report on her Instagram post, The Ukrainian tennis star's sister wore a seductive dress for a stunning photoshoot
- Glavcom reported on an Instagram story she posted where she sang. This source is unreliable:
- They reported that Putin might be planning to blow up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, citing an anonymous Russian Telegram channel as a source.
- In another piece, they said that a Hungarian airline forced a Ukrainian soldier off a plane in a headline. Two days later, they added a comment from a Ukrainian diplomat saying the man wasn't a soldier, but they didn't change the headline. They also didn't mention that the text was corrected, just appended "updated" to the title.
- In 2016, they shared a story that Swedish diplomat Carl Bildt could become the next Ukrainian PM, which was widely republished by Russian media such as Sputnik.
- The sport focused site provides only routine reports on her tournament performance, so it fails WP:SIGCOV. They only published three stories specifically about her: that she would play in a tournament, that she would play against a Swiss tennis player, and that she lost.
- Same as above.
- I didn't find any more reliable sources with significant coverage about her, therefore, this should be deleted. Kelob2678 (talk) 20:10, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

The result was speedy keep without prejudice against a legitimate nomination. Can a machine be a meatpuppet? The nominator claims someone "connected to the subject" asked them to file this AfD. WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE requires the subject themselves to request the deletion, not their representative or agent, be they human or machine. Once we discard BLPREQUESTDELETE, all we're left with are the ramblings of an LLM, which has no standing in an XfD. The existence of COI, which was obvious even before its admission here, only amplifies the inescapable impression that this nomination was driven not by concern for the project's notability guidelines, nor by the subject's interest in privacy, but by a (paid?) attempt to remove sourced information critical of the subject. Wrapping it up in flowery LLM language does little to hide the true intent. Owen× ☎ 14:11, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Renomination – the previous AfD (closed no consensus on 24 May 2025) did not fully address several serious WP:BLP / sourcing issues that remain unresolved. See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Majid Azami (24 May 2025).
- BLP sourcing problems: The article’s most serious allegations (e.g., involvement in military oil networks and links to sanctioned groups) rely heavily on politically affiliated or non-mainstream outlets and databases (e.g., Iran International, IFMAT, OpenSanctions, iranianuk.com; see the current reference list) rather than multiple high-quality, independent secondary sources with careful attribution, as required by WP:BLP/WP:BLPSOURCES. Contentious material about living persons must be written conservatively and supported by strong, reliable sources. The article itself is tagged for BLP sourcing issues as of August 2025.
- Insufficient significant independent coverage of the person (WP:GNG / WP:NPERSON): Mainstream pieces (e.g., Reuters; AP) mention the subject in sanction round-ups but do not provide in-depth biographical coverage focused on the individual. Brief mentions in sanction notices or pieces primarily about companies/networks are not enough to establish standalone notability for a biography.
- Undue / promotional or vague claims: Statements like “one of the most influential figures” are supported by marginal sources (e.g., kountrass.com; iranianuk.com) and should not be used to support weighty claims in a BLP. Such claims either require high-quality sourcing or removal per WP:BLP.
- One-event–style notability (WP:BLP1E): The article’s notability appears to rest chiefly on a single cluster of events (U.S. Treasury/OFAC designations and associated media pickup in late 2023), which on its own typically does not justify a standalone BLP without broader, sustained, in-depth coverage about the person.
Given the above, I believe the article fails WP:GNG/WP:NPERSON and is unsafe under WP:BLP.
Proposed outcomes:
- Delete the article per GNG/NPERSON/BLP.
- If consensus is not to delete, Redirect to Sepehr Energy Jahan Nama Pars Company (article already exists and provides context), pending any future emergence of multiple independent, high-quality sources with significant coverage of the person. See WP:ATD (redirect as an alternative).
Notes: The previous AfD (24 May 2025) closed no consensus; more than two months have passed and this renomination focuses specifically on sourcing/BLP concerns that were not fully resolved. See WP:RENOM.

- Thanks for your comment. Ok, let’s clear something, FIRST: editing and improving passages with LLM is not a Fault. Use this tool could improve efficacy and clarity of meaning to readers. SECOND: the reason that this is my just second edit is a bad thing? Am I inputted wrong information? I was asked from somebody to help him delete the page that is related to him, and this allegation are so serious when it come to the first record of google search when somebody search his name and because of this reason Wikipedia is so sensitive to living person pages.
- My suggestion is concentrating on the arguments that I mentioned above and let discuses on non-biased and professional way instead of give me allegation. (this is my not LLM passage!) good luck Osmium190 (talk) 06:27, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

- WP:NFRINGE is irrelevant as it is for evaluating notability of theories, not their proponents. Barack Obama may end up saying he's a Younger Dryas enthusiast, but in no universe would WP:NFRINGE apply to him. This is a pure easy WP:GNG matter. Let's not give FRINGE authority or precedent scope it is not entitled and never will enjoy. — Very Polite Person (talk/contribs) 17:07, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- Note that WP:FRINGEBLP asks us explicitly to consider WP:NFRINGE when evaluating whether a person is notable for their fringe promotion. Sometimes they are. In this case, they are not expressly because the fringe theory they are promoting is not notable enough having received no WP:Independent source notice. jps (talk) 01:31, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- But the wording or any weight of FRINGEBLP doesn't (and cannot) supersede or set a higher standard than GNG. Kinda like how all state law/constitutions in the USA ultimately are subservient/inferior to the US constitution, is how I'd thought of it. So if a person meets GNG (by mosaic or SIGCOV, either counts) than they automatically count, regardless of any FRINGE* or other lessor page. That's all. It wasn't a knock, it was just to make clear for the readers at home that "fringe" people don't have a higher minimum notability standard than non-fringe people.
- Like if all things were equal in volume, weight of coverage, etc., and I was GNG for being an academic and you were GNG for being a "ghost whisperer", it's the same GNG standard. SIGCOV (several) or enough weight of other stuff over time and not just BLP1E and you're good to go with GNG.

- Weak Delete. The current page is strange, and does a good job of indicating that he is not notable. A lot of negative material has been added if I compare this page to the earlier July 15th version. Some of this seems to be very inappropriate, marginal on WP:NPOV, and I will question why it was added.
- Leaving that aside, if I ignore the negative additions I do not see a pass of WP:NPROF. He has an h-factor of 35 with 4.6K total citations, so he is not far off. I do not see anything for WP:GNG or similar. If there were some significant awards I would probably vote weak keep.

- Delete for lack of valid sources. --Hob Gadling (talk) 18:08, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Setting aside the high-profile but low-impact archealogical and astrophysical speculation, his higher-cited work on planetary science has many coauthors; his first-author papers "Magnetic stratigraphy of Chinese loess", "Hematite vs. magnetite", "Grain size limit", etc., have 147, 98, 81, and fewer citations on Google Scholar, close but below the threshold for me. I don't think there has been enough popular press coverage of his other work to make a case for WP:GNG in place of WP:PROF.
- Keep: Critiques of Günther Kletetschka and his work are evolving. To delete this article now would be a major mistake. This article provides a place where valid criticism and supporting evidence can be presented. Gunther may be another Newton or another Milli Vanilli. In either case, Günther is significant.

deprodded because a redirect leads to it.
A three sentence article, all three of which are inaccurate or improperly sourced.
The first sentence states this is a worsted fabric. But there is no pile on a worsted fabric, and worsted yarns are not shaggy. it is not worsted.
The second sentencel inks to Mirriam-Webster which makes no mention of shag fabric.
The third sentence is supported by a blog which is about shag rugs, not shag fabric.

- What’s the Best Vacuum for Carpets? in Wirecutter (2025)—discusses the problems posed by thick-pile carpets, including Shag carpets, and how specialised vacuum cleaners are sometimes required.
- Of course there are lots of sources about carpets. Wikipedia has lots of articles about carpets and rugs and floorcoverings.
- This is not about carpet rug or pile, it is about fabric, and should not exist. Shag fabric is not a thing. I do not think that the content of this article should be moved to something else, as the content is nonsense too.
- Yes, Shag carpet is the obvious title for this article, and should not be a redirect, but the content of this article should be carefully redirected to the recycle bin. I'm sure that many of the sources noted above would be useful, and believe me there will be many more out there, but not for an article with this name and about this non-existent thing. - Roxy the dog 18:30, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- But the article isn't called Shag fabric, it's called Shag, with "(fabric)" as a disambiguator. The title isn't claiming that "shag fabric" is a thing, but that "shag" (by itself) is the common term for this kind of textile, including carpets and rugs. In reality, "shag carpet" is the common name, because the only context that this kind of textile is used in is for floor coverings; Shag carpet is also the better title—for instance, compared to Shag (carpet)—because natural disambiguation is preferable to parenthetical. In addition to having the wrong title, it just so happens that the article about Shag carpet is currently very short, doesn't use many of the available sources, and doesn't adequately cover the topic; still, these are surmountable problems so aren't reasons to delete the article, in my view.

Fails WP:NLIST for lack of sources that discuss the ordinaries of the various Anglican-rite Catholic ordinariates as a group. In contesting a PROD, A.

there is no evidence that sources have covered these individually notable bishops/priests as a group.
It is a common misconception that this is required for a list. What WP:LIST says is that "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources..." However, "There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists..."

The first AfD ended with no consensus. One "weak keep" argument was that the subject's name appears in 2 Google Scholar results, but in both cases he is only listed as an interviewee, not as the author. There is no SIGCOV or independent coverage of the subject, and Google search only turns up his social media accounts.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Article about a company, not properly sourced as passing WP:CORP criteria. As always, companies are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage and analysis about them -- but the sourcing here consists almost entirely of coverage of general business trends in which the company and/or its staff are quoted as a provider of soundbite or financial data.
But we're not looking for sources in which the company is quoted as a provider of information about other things, we're looking for sources in which the company and its operations are themselves the thing being covered and analyzed by other people.
The article also recently underwent a heavily advertorialized rewrite (of the extreme overuse of bolding variety) by an editor with a likely WP:COI -- but reverting those edits wouldn't solve the problem, as the older version wasn't neutrally written or properly sourced either.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the company from having to pass GNG and CORP on much better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 12:37, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep — This is not a case of “passing mentions.” MyLogIQ has provided the underlying data for The Wall Street Journal’s annual CEO Pay Study and interactive graphics for more than a decade, a recurring use that goes far beyond trivial citation. Coverage also appears in The Economist, NACD Directorship, Agenda, and major outlets like Bloomberg and CNN, as well as academic sources (Harvard Law Forum, Vanderbilt Law Review). This breadth and recurrence across independent, reliable sources establishes clear notability under WP:ORGCRIT.
- Note: I am affiliated with MyLogIQ (disclosed on my User Page). — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarketTrendsEditor (talk • contribs) 12:55, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Providing the data doesn't constitute GNG-worthy coverage. We're not looking for news articles in which MyLogIQ is the provider of information, we require sources in which MyLogIQ is the subject that other people are talking or writing about, and nothing short of that counts at all. Also, if you have a conflict of interest, then you're not supposed to be editing the article at all, especially not to advertorialize it or impose extreme and improper overuse of bolding. Bearcat (talk) 15:57, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Being hired by the Wall Street Journal and other media outlets to analyze data and then have that analysis covered in news media is not the kind of independent WP:SIGCOV that results in a WP:NCORP pass. Not seeing any evidence here of coverage that meets WP:ORGCRIT. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:10, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Just to clarify a point raised above: the Wall Street Journal’s annual CEO pay study is not a case of MyLogIQ being “hired” for consulting. The Journal independently selects and publishes this work because of the structured datasets we provide, and it has done so for over a decade, producing recurring features and interactive graphics built on MyLogIQ data.
- This is similar with the Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF), which based its 2016 audit fee report on MyLogIQ datasets, and with academic publications such as the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance (2020) and Vanderbilt Law Review (2022). These are independent uses and analyses, not commissioned work, and they demonstrate the kind of significant coverage and reliance that WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT anticipate.
- On the point about WP:ORGCRIT, the guideline requires “significant coverage in reliable, independent sources,” which does not require a dedicated company profile. Harvard Law, Vanderbilt Law Review, FERF, and the Wall Street Journal’s recurring CEO pay studies are examples of non-trivial, independent coverage that satisfies this standard.
- That said, I acknowledge my COI and leave it to uninvolved editors to determine the outcome. If consensus does not support a standalone article, I would support a redirect rather than deletion, so readers searching for the company can still locate it in the context of corporate governance data providers. Suitable redirect targets could be Corporate governance of public companies or SEC filing, since those topics directly reflect the areas where MyLogIQ is most frequently cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarketTrendsEditor (talk • contribs) 12:32, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Keepremove duplicate !vote – MyLogIQ meets WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT through significant, independent use of its datasets in media, academic, and policy sources:
- The Wall Street Journal has relied on MyLogIQ data for its annual CEO pay study for over a decade, producing recurring features and interactive graphics.
- The Financial Executives Research Foundation’s 2016 audit fees report was based on MyLogIQ datasets.
- Academic work includes the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance (2020), Vanderbilt Law Review (2022), and Duke Financial Economics Center (2021), all of which cite and analyze MyLogIQ data.
- The paper “Entrenchment or Efficiency: CEO-to-Employee Pay Ratio and the Cost of Debt” also relies on MyLogIQ datasets.
- In 2022, Professor Jeffrey Sachs (Columbia University) cited MyLogIQ data in testimony before the U.S. House Oversight Committee.
- These are not trivial mentions but independent, substantive uses that demonstrate notability. I acknowledge my COI and leave the decision to uninvolved editors. If consensus does not support a standalone article, a redirect to Corporate governance or SEC filing would be preferable to deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarketTrendsEditor (talk • contribs) 14:03, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Again: we're not looking for sources in which your company provides information about other things, we're looking for sources in which your company is the subject of coverage and analysis by other people. You still haven't provided any evidence of the latter at all. Bearcat (talk) 20:08, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
- Respectfully, WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT do not require that sources be limited to “profile pieces” about the company itself. The standard is significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Repeated use of MyLogIQ data in the Wall Street Journal’s CEO pay studies, academic work at Harvard, Vanderbilt, and Duke, FERF’s audit fees report, and Professor Jeffrey Sachs’s congressional testimony demonstrate that the company’s work is treated as central to independent analysis across media, academia, and policy. This is more than trivial mention and fits GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarketTrendsEditor (talk • contribs) 12:28, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- And the very definition of "significant coverage in reliable, independent sources" means coverage in which the company is the subject, and does not mean coverage in which the company is merely a provider of data in coverage about something else. Like, "coverage about the company" is literally what "significant coverage" means. Bearcat (talk) 13:13, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. As has been pointed out already, we require articles that discuss the company, not the fact that another company might make use of the company's data or reports. None of the existing sources here (or those I can find by searching) meet the criteria. HighKing++ 16:26, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- Prob Keep I agree that there is a level of synth in the page however there clearly is an academic literature and discourse about lifestyle adaptions on an individual level which add up to dramatic collective sustainability responses. How to parse and CE the page is beyond my ken, as it does currently read a bit like a college essay that someone has bombarded with as many sources as they can find in order to get a good mark. JMWt (talk) 07:59, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks @JMWt I would point you to the Individual action on climate change as the mental model for what we could do -- however, the articles that @Juneblay points too are working far better at this point in covering the topic. I think the challenge is that the article is more of a "how to" rather than a "reflection on the landscape of what we know", which is where the Individual action article is better. Sadads (talk) 15:11, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not clear what you are saying here. For one thing, clearly there are sustainability challenges which are not directly about climate change. Arguably there are multiple Planetary boundaries, each of which have individual lifestyle changes attached. It strikes me that there is a distinct topic on individual changes (such as changing household cleaning products) verses wider sustainability changes (changing infrastructure in sewage treatment works) which have a different conceptual paradigm to the pages suggested above. There's certainly a literature which discusses the value of these collectivised individual activities. I really don't understand why you are so keen to !delete. JMWt (talk) 16:16, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- So my point, is that we could make an article titled "Sustainable lifestyle" or "Individual actions for sustainability" but it repeats what is covered in the other articles -- I think part of the problem, is that this article has had 4 cycles of students on it according to the talk page, all interpreting the concept's scope quite differently.

Relisting comment: Relisting. So, lots of discussion but no consensus here. Some arguing for a Redirection or Merge (but no agreement on the target article) and other editors advocating that we Keep this article.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 00:49, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Term is used widely in books and journals on the topic of sustainability to the point that it is routine practice. We could provide hundreds of examples just in google scholar and google books. Clearly not a WP:Neologism which by our definition is a term with "little or no usage" (FYI to the nominator, that typically means just a handful of uses in WP:RS. We are way beyond that.) Here is just one example of a journal article specifically on micro-sustainability so the assertion that it isn't ever a primary topic is false. Additionally, there are many journal articles, suchas this one, that use the term in the abstract of their papers identifying the term as a key topic in the paper. Undoubtedly there are SYNTH issues in our article, but the quality of the literature is such that sorting that out through normal editing would be possible. I can't see this topic failing WP:GNG. Best.4meter4 (talk) 04:13, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- I offer no opinion on notability as such, but these examples are very questionable. The McGill Energy Journal is a student publication, and the abstract from the real journal uses the term in quote marks which doesn't exactly show that it isn't a neologism. You mention other papers so perhaps there are some better examples you would be able to give?--RL0919 (talk) 04:57, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Article covering an incident where a scheduled airline departed the runway at Muscat International Airport after landing. No injuries or substantial damage to the aircraft. The subject does not meet WP:NEVENT standards requiring lasting significant coverage in reliable sources, and no lasting impact or changes to procedures have been identified.

- Merge: I specifically made the redirect (now moved to Draft:AI bubble) becuase of WP:FUTURE, Wikipedia should not have speculative articles about things that people suspect are happening. I added "With possibilities" merely becuase if it ends up bursting it should become an article. But as of now, an article about a speculative bubble is not appropriate.

Primary contributor/creator (with Logologist being an older account of Nihil novi) has self-identified on Wikipedia as someone who is related to the subject of this article (see this diff, book can be found on Internet Archive where the name can be confirmed).
Undisclosed COI aside, sourcing is really poor throughout. The parts of the article that contain references are mostly sourced from the subject’s own works (including memoirs which are not published anywhere, as far as I can ascertain) and a “Who’s Who” book which I would think best to extend caution on given the integrity of these genres of book as raised by MediaKyle at the AfD for Kasparek’s relative.
I’ve also had to remove material from the article which was cited to another source because it failed verification – it most likely employed some degree of original research. I imagine much of the other unsourced material is also OR.
I can find a couple of instances where Kasparek’s work has been cited in the occasional journal article and a single question/statement to the editors of the NY Book Review hosted on their website but no significant and reliable coverage regarding him. ToeSchmoker (talk) 08:03, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

The article consists of only two lines that states that it is a programming language, some names of former users, and provides no indication of why it is notable.

- The AFD process is not a great place for primary topic discussions, WP:RM should be used instead, because a name index can still remain even if one topic is chosen as primary (maybe there are other entries that just aren't documented there yet).
- The other Konstas entry seems to match the guideline on items without standalone articles. It links to a player at an Olympic event, so there is some obvious potential.
- The proposed primary topic is a twenty year-old player who seems to have participated at the under-19 level. Why would the average English reader strongly associate this name with this person?
- A Google Books search for the term shows me nothing in particular, a lot of ambiguity.
- It seems more likely that the average reader wouldn't recognize this term at all. Short-circuiting to one person instead of presenting this short list doesn't seem to be particularly beneficial. (Keep) --Joy (talk) 05:27, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
- Your rationale is
The proposed primary topic is a twenty year-old player who seems to have participated at the under-19 level.
. Quick fact check; Sam Konstas has played Test Cricket at the Senior Level. Servite et contribuere (talk) 08:04, 15 August 2025 (UTC)- Sorry, I skimmed the article and apparently missed that. Maybe this information would be obvious to someone who is more in-universe in this regard, but this is a general encyclopedia, not a secondary source on cricket, or any other sport, or any other field of endeavor. --Joy (talk) 14:19, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
- Joy I get what you are saying, but I don't think citing google books is a good example as many authors of books won't be notable. I also understand that this is a general encyclopaedia. I still stand by my argument that Sam is the primary topic. He's not Messi, Ronaldo or Michael Jordan type notable. Not even as notable as someone like Sam Kerr. But Sam Konstas before his Test debut got was considered an exciting prospect and arguably got the most attention of anyone on the Boxing Day Test. The other is a water polo player who played at the 1972 Olympics. Basically I would argue he was just considered a part of an Olympic squad. Don't think he was notable for anything besides being there. Sam on the other hand got a lot of attention for playing Un Orthodox shots. It's a good rationale but I am still convinced Sam is the primary topic. Also with regards to books, books on stuff like war are going to have the names of many non notable people in a war. Servite et contribuere (talk) 04:44, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- We should be looking for indicators of significance, such as for example some relevant biographer's secondary source about this person. It's hard to expect for this to exist at such a young age, and likewise it's hard to expect that the average reader associates this surname with this person.
- How do we normally measure
attention
in this topic area, and how does that compare to worldwide general measurements of the same? I don't know. - Google Trends for the search terms show two spikes of interest, both of which are past now, and interest is miniscule now.
- That website also showed me the topic of Giorgos Konstas, which we don't have documented here, but it's plausible that we could.[34]
- I see evidence that in recent times people have looked up the the surname probably in reference to this one person, but no real evidence that this is an actual primary topic according to the guideline. --Joy (talk) 11:00, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Due to failing notability criteria as a surname page. Then it can be redirected as a primary redirect if necessary. The argument put forth by Joy is only relevant if this page is notable, which it clearly is not. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:43, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Zxcvbnm a minor anthroponymy index might not be (obviously) notable according to the WP:N article guideline, but that guideline isn't meant to apply to it because it's not a regular article. WP:5P1 says
Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers.
which is why we include these sorts of indices even if they're not articles. --Joy (talk) 14:03, 22 August 2025 (UTC)- A set index article is a form of list, which falls under list-based notability criteria. Something violating that would be WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I am unaware of a policy where set index pages are an exception to that rule, and 5P1 can simply mean that infoboxes contain almanac-like or gazette-like information alongside the article itself. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:12, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- But it's not really just a form of a list. Have you ever seen WP:Set index#Common selection criteria? The concept of it being a list of notable items has been documented there since 2019 (probably, that's from my quick search, could be older).
- The idea of these sorts of set indexes often being very similar to disambiguation pages, hence not necessarily just list articles, has likewise been discussed at length, e.g. at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment/Archive 9#Request for comment in 2024 but we didn't reach a clear conclusion on what to do. --Joy (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- That seemed to have its fair share of people arguing essentially the same thing that I am - that a set index article requires context and therefore notability (i.e. something like Herman (name)). While it can certainly be a list of names, The criteria for creating, adding to, or deleting a set index article should be the same as for a stand-alone list. In the absence of consensus, it reverts to the status quo, which is that name lists are not a form of disambiguation. It would need people to agree that they are, which didn't happen. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:33, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- We habitually add name lists into disambiguation pages, this is long documented in the WP:D guideline and there is no missing consensus there. The formatting changes to make this Konstas set index a disambiguation page are trivial. --Joy (talk) 13:08, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Also, I disagree with the idea that just because we didn't reach a coherent, strictly expressed consensus about the matter of navigation pages in that discussion, that we should just toss all that into the wind. That would truly be dismissive of the volunteer time invested in it, and it would be suspiciously close to WP:Status quo stonewalling. We never had a coherent, strictly expressed consensus about a bunch of things expressed e.g. in the WP:D guideline text (that's the one I've investigated the most so I say this with a bit of experience), and yet we generally recognize most of it as applicable. --Joy (talk) 13:15, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

The subject paid to participate, and the coverage is entirely from sponsored or affiliated sources. These do not meet Wikipedia’s standards for reliable, independent references. Using these as justification to keep the page is not valid under notability guidelines. This article is clearly a paid creation, with no significant independent coverage to establish lasting notability. 2402:E280:411C:16B:D46A:AD8C:4064:C27E (talk) 08:52, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- The Tribune reference being cited here is not independent coverage. The piece is paid content, written by a contributor with no established bylines or editorial oversight, which falls short of Wikipedia’s standards for reliable sourcing. It also lacks basic EEAT elements (expertise, author credibility, editorial accountability), making it equivalent to promotional material rather than genuine reporting. Proof of this is visible here:
- Author profile: https://ibb.co/399YTppc
- Article: https://ibb.co/WvJfG4X7
- Given that, the source cannot be considered valid evidence of notability. Combined with the other sponsored references, the article fails to meet WP:GNG and should be deleted as non-notable and promotional. 2402:E280:411C:16B:D46A:AD8C:4064:C27E (talk) 09:02, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- Laurence Kirkpatrick (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
The subject of the article is a former Professor of Church History in Union Theological College, the small seminary for the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, based in Belfast, northern Ireland.
He does not meet the notability criteria for an academic WP:NACADEMIC:
- there is no evidence that his research has had a significant impact in the discipline of Church History, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
- He has not received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
- He has not been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association.
- There is no evidence that his academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.
- He has not held a distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research or a named chair appointment that indicates a comparable level of achievement.
- He briefly held the post of Principal at Union Theological College, but this is a small seminary, not a major academic institution.
- There is no evidence that he has had a substantial impact outside academia in his academic capacity.
- He has not been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in his subject area.
Reliable sources him only in the context of a single event. WP:BLP1E When he was sacked from his position as Professor of Church History in 2018 there was widespread press coverage of his sacking, subsequent employment tribunal and eventual settlement, but other than that he is a low-profile individual. The event is covered in the history of the college in its article, [35] but is not significant enough to merit an article of its own.
The article was first created in 2023, well after the professor had been sacked and was no longer academically active. [36] It was created by a confirmed sockpuppet who spent a lot of time making edits related to the sacking of the professor.
In summary, the subject was not regarded as notable during his academic career and the article was only created in response to a single event in the news. He is not a notable subject. Ardenssedvirens (talk) 12:43, 11 August 2025 (UTC)}}

- Unsure - I suspect the OP is correct that the notability standards have not been met per NACADEMIC, but it seems to me it is possible that he has a certain notability as a religious leader and commentator. Also possible he doesn't, but that doesn't seem to be explored in the nom. JMWt (talk) 13:04, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks @JMWt, those are helpful categories to raise.
- I've had a look to see whether he pops up as a commentator or not. In Northern Ireland the main opportunities for that would be the two national daily newspapers, the Belfast Telegraph and the Newsletter; two religious programmes on BBC Radio Ulster, Sunday Sequence and Thought for the Day; and the political blog Slugger O'Toole which sometimes touches on church and religion.
- I can't find any articles by him in the Belfast Telegraph. [37]
- I can't find any articles by him in the Newsletter. [38]
- He was a panelist on Sunday Sequence just twice, in March 2023 [39] and in March 2025 [40]. [41] That isn't a noteworthy number.
- He was a contributor to Thought for the Day three times in April 2025. [42] That isn't a noteworthy number.
- He doesn't seem to have written for Slugger O'Toole and only comes up once in a Google search. [43]
- As far as being a leader, I'm not aware of him leading any movements. He's been invited to speak at some public events, but I'm not aware of any of them being influential or notable and it's the sort of thing plenty of people get invited to do who aren't noteworthy enough to appear on Wikipedia.
- As far as I'm aware the thing he's probably best known for in Irish Presbyterian circles is writing a large coffee table style illustrated history of the Presbyterian Church. Ardenssedvirens (talk) 14:38, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

- It may be of interest to note here a curious disparity between the way that Ardenssedvirens has nominated this article for deletion, for which the notability of the subject has never hitherto been questioned as far as I can discern, versus the article on Martyn C.

Cowan is rated Start-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. I am not suggesting that either article should be deleted but I would be interested in hearing why Ardenssedvirens is so interested in removing this article and yet had become so intensely engaged in a discussion regarding the mere addition of tags to the article on Martyn C. Cowan. Notably, the latter was also recently edited by a long-established user called Jdcooper, self-described as mainly focusing on the worst articles on Wikipedia.

- Thank you @Elemimele, that’s helpful. I hadn’t considered that angle. It looks like there are four possible criteria to be a notable author. Criterion 3 looks like the potentially applicable one here:
- ‘The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series);’
- So I guess the question is whether Lawrence’s illustrated history of Presbyterianism is regarded as significant or well known, and been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. As far as I’m aware there aren’t any books, films or TV series about it!
- I did a Google search for ‘review “Laurence Kirkpatrick” “Presbyterians in Ireland” an illustrated history’. Apart from reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, I only found one review, in ‘Seanchas Ardmhacha: Journal of the Armagh Diocesan Historical Society’ [44].
- A search on JSTOR for the book showed just this one review.
- A further search on JSTOR for anything with Laurence Kirkpatrick turned up two articles: the aforementioned review and a review by Kirkpatrick of another book.
- I also checked the Presbyterian Historical Society. There didn’t appear to be any reviews. Kirkpatrick contributed two articles to their periodical — one in 2008 and another in 2015. But his own work doesn’t seem to have been reviewed.
- Returning to the criterion above, the book doesn’t appear to meet the requirement that the ‘work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews’ and therefore doesn’t seem to meet the criteria to be a notable author. Ardenssedvirens (talk) 18:05, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
- NAUTHOR is always worth checking for academics, especially those in non-science disciplines, but I concur that this doesn't look like an NAUTHOR pass. Typically NAUTHOR requires multiple notable books (otherwise we can just have a book article and cover the author as "background"), and with only one review it doesn't look like even his one book passes WP:NBOOK. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:01, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep Being sacked for publicly disagreeing with his church's hard line on homosexuality (and the ensuing media and legal fallout) has given him a general notability that he might not have specifically as an academic or an author. Focusing on those rather than on the general notability seems a little disingenuous. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 11:04, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- I wasn’t being disingenuous. I specifically mentioned that, said it was the one thing he’d be known for, and linked to WP:BLP1E to make it easier for other people to consider the criteria themselves.

You did indeed refer to BLP1E, but I'm not convinced this meets the spirit of that rule. This is a public figure whose main claim to fame (or notoriety) arose due to remarks he made while
being interviewedspeaking as an expert in his field on the BBC and has generated media coverage over a seven-year period, some (e.g.) exclusively reporting on his own subsequent thoughts and actions. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 14:17, 17 August 2025 (UTC)- You said ‘Focusing on those rather than on the general notability seems a little disingenuous.’ I don’t know how you can say that and then claim you didn’t call me anything. That seems disingenuous.
- Most of the media coverage was in 2018/19 when he was fired and took the church to ab employment tribunal. There has been a bit of coverage since then, but it’s mostly been to say that the tribunal is expected to meet soon and then later than there had been a settlement.
- The event is already covered by the Union Theological College article. The Kirkpatrick article doesn’t really add much, if anything. I’m not sure it adds any value having it as a separate article rather than delete and redirect. Ardenssedvirens (talk) 15:04, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

I don't think the links Cortador points to constitute coverage over an extended period of time; rather, it looks to me that the event (his firing) occurred over an extended period of time. There doesn't appear to be any retrospective coverage after the affair concluded which would give the event some broader significance. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:06, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason for nomination — Notability / Undue reliance on a single non-authoritative source. This article fails Wikipedia’s sourcing and notability standards for video games. The body of the article relies almost entirely on two articles from TheGamer and on primary sources (the game’s official website and Steam store pages), rather than on significant, independent, reliable secondary coverage. Reliance on a single online outlet for nearly all independent commentary produces undue weight and does not demonstrate the independent significant coverage required by WP:NOTABILITY or by the WikiProject Video Games sourcing guidelines. The article's references also mainly feature the game's official site, Steam store pages, and developer/Steam community posts; these are self-published/primary sources that cannot establish notability. Independent coverage via multiple reliable sources is minimal. The article further contains promotional phrasing derived from the subject's own materials. 1. Heavy dependence on TheGamer. The article’s references show that the majority of independent-appearing coverage is from TheGamer (see refs 2 and 3 on the article). Other cited items are the game’s official site and the Steam store — both primary/self-published sources that cannot by themselves establish notability. This sourcing pattern leaves only a single clearly independent outlet (PC Gamer), which is insufficient to demonstrate broad, significant coverage.
Fails WP:RS - article depends on self-published and marginal web sources rather than reliable independent sources required for verification. Fails WP:OR - the article appears to synthesise conclusions from primary materials without independent sourcing, which constitutes original research. Contravenes WP:VG/Sources - overreliance on a single gaming outlet and primary sources rather than the multiple high-quality independent sources the project expects. Fails WP:PRIMARY - too many substantive claims are sourced only to the game's own materials (official site/ Steam), which cannot establish encyclopaedic significance. Fails WP:V - numerous statements lack verification in independent, reliable sources. WP:UNDUE - the article assigns undue weight to promotional material and a single source rather than balanced, independent coverage. Fails WP:NPOV / WP:ADVERTISING - the article contains promotional phrasing from the subject and lacks neutral, third-party analysis. |

- Keep. There is coverage in the following articles [47], [48], and [49]. There are some passing mentions in [50], [51], [52]. As a student union this would be a nonprofit, and as a coalition of students it is also education related. The coverage in sourcing includes sources from outside Scotland and is not just local but national so appears to pass WP:NONPROFIT.

As it stands, this subject lacks the needed WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:GNG. The only reference is a database, and all I could find elsewhere was a mention at [[53]]. Let'srun (talk) 00:46, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

- Strong Keep – Plenty of SIGCOV. I'll try to AGF and assume you just had some trouble with the name when doing your BEFORE. Some sources do transliterate his name weirdly. Here's an abstract to a article about him [54]. This talks a bit about him as a coach [55], and a little bit more here [56]. There's probably tons more in the sources of the first article, but I can't read Korean, so Korean newspaper databases would be quite difficult for me. – Ike Lek (talk) 03:14, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- I found from the korean source that he actually exist. https://gsic.sports.or.kr/com/cop/game/player_info.do?gameCode=14 Also he seems to be covered in other korean resarch material as well as one of the figures that were part of the first generation of wrestlers in south korea.https://www.dbpia.co.kr/journal/articleDetail?nodeId=NODE10862222 Waltzingmogumogupeach (talk) 07:40, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Highly subjective arbitrary list. --Altenmann >talk 00:11, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- Keep as a valid WP:SPINOUT per the
WP:CONSENSUSargument at the first AFD.4meter4 (talk) 01:42, 26 August 2025 (UTC)- Actually the first AFD was closed as "no consensus". And a "valid spinout" is a fair game for deletion. We deleted plenty of fancruft and "in popculture" pages after spinout of garbage. --Altenmann >talk 01:48, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Altenmann I get it. WP:LISTCRUFT is real. But in this case we have the topic discussed as a group or set in reliable sources so passing WP:NLIST would be possible. For example see this article in The Independent and this article in Time. In fact I'm just going to say keep per WP:NLIST because the sourcing is there to meet our guideline for lists.4meter4 (talk) 01:54, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- I dont think "Top 10"-type attention-grabber articles (which, again, a highly subjective cherry-picking) make the subject notable. There is no objective criterion for an item to be "unusual" and the topic was not "discussed as a group" in any reasonable encyclopedic depth. --Altenmann >talk 02:11, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- It's true that "unusual" is a subjective criteria. That's why we rely on WP:RS to determine what is unusual and only include entries that have coverage in independent reliable materials. The article is predominantly cited to mainstream media so I don't see how a list in this case isn't possible under our guidelines. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:05, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- I doubt there are WP:RS that give a definition of "unusual listing". These cruft lists do not determine what is unusual, these are clickbait titles with arbitrary selections. and as such these are WP:UNDUE for inclusion into encyclopediaa. There are lots of such lists, like weird baby names, unusual trees, "25 Strangest Places In The World", "Unusual Women"... and what's not. I fail to see how these selections are encyclopedic. --Altenmann >talk 03:25, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
