WP:BLP of an actress and director, not properly referenced as passing notability criteria for actresses or directors. As always, the notability test for a creative professional in film, television or theatre is not automatically passed just by verifying that she and her work exist, and instead requires analytical coverage to be paid to her and her work in media to establish that they've been externally validated as significant by people without a vested interest in her career.
I've already removed 16 inadmissible footnotes to IMDb and Facebook or Instagram posts -- but even so, the article is still referenced mainly to bad sources that aren't support for notability at all, such as blogs, directory entries, the self-published production websites of shows or films she was in, the self-published websites of film festivals that films she was in were screened at, a Twitter tweet, and on and so forth.
And even the stuff that does come from real reliable source media still largely isn't supporting her notability either -- for example, there's a source which verifies that somebody else got an Emmy nomination for his work in a miniseries that Besharah had a supporting part in, which has nothing to do with Besharah; and there are sources verifying that other films or TV shows she was in exist, but fail to mention Besharah's name in conjunction with them; and there are very brief glancing namechecks that mention her name without being about her in any non-trivial sense.
Only one footnote in the entire article (#22, "Go-for-broke performances drive Sarah Burgess's Dry Powder") actually represents a reliable source writing about Besharah's work in any substantive fashion, but one source isn't enough all by itself -- and even on a WP:BEFORE search for other sources, the most useful thing I found in ProQuest is the same article.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to be the subject of more proper coverage and analysis about her and her work in real media than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:47, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OR/WP:SYNTH No source supports the claim of "repressed ethnicities", this is a self-invented frame by creator User:PlanespotterA320 (who has, incidentally, been permanently globally banned from all Wikimedia sites). Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:27, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Addition Most of the same people are already mentioned in List of North Caucasian Heroes of the Soviet Union. Plus, each of them is already mentioned in the alphabetical Category:Lists of Heroes of the Soviet Union which already existed. In short: there are many people listed at least three times. (Some are even mentioned four times due to the List of twice Heroes of the Soviet Union). Do we really need that? This is a lot of WP:OVERLAP/WP:REDUNDANTFORK. Especially the repressed part suggests a WP:POVFORK. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 06:26, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There could be a better title but it is not questionable that the Soviet Union did conduct ethnic deportation of people (for example). There has been post-Soviet academic attention towards Heroes of the Soviet Union from specific ethnicities such as this article about Crimean Tatars, demonstrating that the ethnicity of Heroes of the Soviet Union is a legitimate topic. Kges1901 (talk) 14:21, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't question that those things happened, but this framing of the individual awardees as members of "repressed ethnicities" is WP:OR/WP:SYNT. We can't have that. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:30, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Nothing in Google Books frames the awardees in this way. It's all original research. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:33, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Of course you didn't find anything, you did a very narrow search in English. Try reading a Chechen newspaper or a book specifically about the topic like Крымские татары во Второй мировой войне / А. Велиев; пер. c крымскотат. Э. Велиева. — Симферополь : Крымучпедгиз, 2009.Your claim "No source supports the claim of "repressed ethnicities", this is a self-invented frame" is absolutely wrong, even the Russian government apologized for the deporations and repressions, which are covered by English and Russian newspapers alike. Lists about discriminated against Heroes aren't unusual, there are lists of African-American, Jewish and Hispanic medal of honor recipients. There is no reasonable doubt about the ethnic background of the people on the list and that their people were "disgraced peoples"/"punished peoples"/"repressed peoples" or that they received the gold star. So please stop denying repressions and being condescending to the heroes of the soviet Union on the list.--74.215.211.214 (talk) 02:11, 30 May 2023 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:44, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename but keep. This seems to be a catch-all for ethnicities that don't have enough recipients for a stand-alone article like List of Tajik Heroes of the Soviet Union. The "repressed ethnicities" framing isn't good, but a rename will solve that. Walt Yoder (talk) 02:22, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think we should be listing/grouping/categorising Heroes of the Soviet Union "by ethnicity" in the first place, per WP:OCEGRS. We have already listed them all alphabetically, there is no need to do it all over again "by ethnicity" if [ethnicity] has [no] significant bearing on their career. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:48, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Would it be valid to throw all non-"repressed ethnicities" into a List of Heroes of the Soviet Union of privileged ethnicities? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 06:25, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not needed article and disorganized. However, we must note that the label of "repressed" here is not a subjective adjective but an official (non-derogatory) terminology for ethnic groups that were at some point in time or another officially designated as "enemies of the people". It is also defamatory to suggest that the people on the list are not true Hero of the Soviet Union recipients. Most small nations without their own lists are not "repressed" only those who were designated as enemies of the people and fully deported per government decree qualify as repressed, so non-deported small peoples like Avar, Buryat, etc are not officially repressed peoples and have no place on any such list. On that note, I also think that lists of medal of Honor recipients (such as the lists for Jewish, African American, Hispanic medal of honor recipients) should also be deleted too.--50.5.78.234 (talk) 17:41, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I did/do not for one moment suggest that the people on the list are not true Hero of the Soviet Union recipients. I merely object to the SYNTH frame of "repressed ethnicities".
    I also think that lists of medal of Honor recipients (such as the lists for Jewish, African American, Hispanic medal of honor recipients) should also be deleted too. This is an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument; while there may be legitimate reasons for nominating such lists for deletion as well (certainly if this AfD results in a Delete), this AfD will not be dependent on those others being nominated. Nevertheless, I have suggested above that other "by ethnicity" lists of Heroes of the Soviet Union are logical next options to consider, particularly given that we've already got alphabetical lists of the very same people.

Delete they're already mentioned in the List of Heores of the Soviet Union, simply adding an "ethnicity" tab there would replicate this chart. Oaktree b (talk) 23:51, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable (in a Wikipedia sense) scholarship programme. I haven't been able to find enough good sources to use to support an article on this (string: "the phd project"), with this piece from the Christian Science Monitor being the best source I can find via a Google search. This article has had sourcing woes since before drafting was even a thing - it's been 15 years since it's been tagged for want of sources. I know I'm likely going to be insulted, called racist, etc. for filing this deletion debate, but at this point I can't find enough sources to actually bring this up to Wikipedia's standards. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 18:13, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with user above, redirect is not necessary while a merge would be difficult and would result in way too detailed information about various companies on the AI page. A merge could occur for those with articles such as the ChatGPT (which takes up so much of the article) and Bard entries, although the information here is already restated on those main articles.

I believe this article fails to meet GNG.

This subject played five few games for the Cayman Islands national team but has generated little significant coverage. This article in the Cayman Sports Buzz probably counts as significant coverage, but it is only one piece.

Besides this, I can only find some brief mentions in match reports and other routine coverage searching online and in the Cayman Compass, Caymanian Times etc.

He also played basketball in his youth and this generated some hits. I still don't think this is enough coverage to demonstrate the subject meets GNG. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 21:37, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PROD'd because I found no claim to notability for this release, but someone removed that PROD claiming this is "potentially notable" and also to consider alternatives.

Article about former non-league/semi-pro footballer who made a handful of appearances in the US third division, and which fails WP:GNG. THe online coverage of Draycott is mostly routine/trivial stuff like match reports and signing announcements, or lacks independence (e.g., pieces from the FA or National Football League). The best coverage I could find is from local paper Ventura County Star, but even that is highly promotional and leans heavily on an interview with the subject. There is nothing else that approaches WP:SIGCOV. There was a previous AfD in 2009, which was withdrawn by the nominator long before WP:NSPORTS2022 deprecated NFOOTBALL.

He gets namechecked in blogs and some lists of ski mountaineering competitions in France, and he is still an active skiing guide.

I would have preferred to PROD this but it looks like most PRODs are being removed currently so I'll AfD it to save the hassle. Similar case to Koegathe Rabithome. Do not merge or redirect anywhere as he is not notable enough to be mentioned at Botswana national football team. According to NFT, which seems to be the only source I can find on him, he made an inconsequential 8 minute cameo against Lesotho and has done nothing since.

Similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries at the Wankhede Stadium and other such AfDs, fails WP:NLIST. A fairly common event (80 tests, 187 centuries, that's more than 2 per test: I have trouble thinking of another sport where we would create lists of things which were this common), which explains why it isn't really the subject of significant attention (individual centuries get noted, but the vast vast majority of sources, and the only ones that really seem to care about the list subject as a whole, are statistical databases only). Note that the "further reading" book "100 Not Out: A Century of Cricket on the Adelaide Oval" is not about this topic, but about 100 years of cricket at the ground. Fram (talk) 15:33, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Being a featured list or featured article says a lot about the quality of writing and the completeness of the article, and nothing about the notability of the subject. There have been featured articles which afterwards were deleted (and the bar for a FA is significantly higher than for a FL). The reason for deletion is that the actual list topic, the list of centuries at this ground, hasn´t been the topic of attention from reliable, independent, non-database sources. Just like in the other Afd I linked, and in the multiple Afds linked from that one. While match reports will note a century, no sources seem to care about the centuries as a group. A bit like in soccer, match reports indicate who scored, but a list of international goals at stadium x or y is of no interest, as it is a common occurrence, something which happens too often: and something which isn´t important for the ground (a list of centuries by person is much more logical, as they are highlights in their career: but the ground has no bearing on the event, it´s not as if this oval makes it harder or easier or more exceptional, it´s just the location). Basically it´s not a defining characteristic of the oval, and not a defining characteristic of the centuries. Fram (talk) 07:04, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete are we going to start listing soccer goals next? Starting to wonder if we need undeniable, non-borderline, individual notability to even qualify for good/featured article status because recently some “”good”” articles that were nothing but fancruft also ended up at AfD.

I know, but I'm using these two lists as a test case that is focused entirely on previously established "Turkic" precedents (which has a strong consensus on Turkic countries/territories/individuals categories, and on Turkic individuals lists). This is the first "List of [language family] countries" nom in this series. I want to make sure it succeeds. I wanna make sure we're all on the same page before I nominate more of the same type. Multiple nominations run the risk of receiving a lot of opposition if there is no clear precedent.

Comparison of the Turkic states is somehwat similar though not identical. It should also be deleted. These countries should be discussed in Western Asia and in Central Asia sperately and articles on the Organization of Turkic States and International Organization of Turkic Culture already exist. There is no need to repeat every piece of data time and again in different combinations. For the record, my concern here is WP:OR and WP:SYNTH as this pulled together nations that are in either of two organizations. Better to stick to continents, subcontinents, and recognized regions within subcontinents (which are all the examples under see also). gidonb (talk) 13:51, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment: Just to be clear, I co-nominated Comparison of the Turkic states in this AfD. Some people seem to have missed that, and the creator of that article thought I made a mistake, but I deliberately co-nominated them. This is about arbitrary [[WP:CROSSCAT] groupings of "Turkic" countries, territories, dynasties, states, rump states, khaganates, khanates, hordes/ulus, emirates, sultanates, caliphates, kingdoms, empires, republics, polities, oblasts, etc.: the whole shebang. If I missed any such lists, please say so. (16 Great Turkic Empires might be a legitimate topic, but I'm gonna look into that one, too. Anatolian beyliks seems geography-based rather than language family-based, so that one seems fine. Turco-Persian wars may be an arbitrary grouping of "Göktürks" and "Ottomans" as "Turkic", as well as "Sasanians", "Safavids" and "Qajars" as "Persian".)

    Will renaming the article as “Comparison of members of the Organization of Turkic States” satisfy you? Joseph (talk) 14:48, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It might, if sources are not WP:SYNTHed the way they are right now. That might save the article in the short term. But you raised a valid point at the talk page about the likewise dubious legitimacy of Comparison of the Baltic states, Comparison of the Benelux countries and Comparison of the Nordic countries, which already have the same issues as the reworked article you are proposing would still have. This group of 4 articles is still vulnerable to deletion in the long term (which I would not oppose, even though I reside in one of the countries concerned; it's just questionable whether these articles have encyclopedic added value). But that decision does not lie solely with me, but the community. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:53, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    It doesn’t list any inapproriate content, nothing is copyrighted or infringed. It doesnt steal any bits. No, but those are not the problems I'm highlighting.
    The term “Turkic” is used both politically and academically to denote linguistics and ethnicities. Yes, but we are talking about states, countries and dynasties here, not linguistics and ethnicities.
    True or not, Turkic states (TR, AZ, KZ, KG, UZ and TM) and Hungary supports this historic affiliation between these states (Turan in case of Hungary). The current governments of these current states only do so through the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), which is a modern political organisation. Governments can make lots of statements that do not have to be taken seriously by an encyclopaedia. E.g. the government of Hungary cannot make "the Hungarian people" or the Republic of Hungary "Turkic" just by signing a document, ignoring linguistics. Incidentally, are you going to include Hungary if you were to rename the article Comparison of the Turkic states to Comparison of members of the Organization of Turkic States? If not, why not? Why haven't you included Hungary as an OTS observer state (since 2018) in Template:Supranational Turkic Bodies, even though you did include Turkmenistan (since 2021)? Somehow it seems that you are unwilling to include Hungary, even though it is just as much an observer state of the OTS as Turkmenistan.

  • Keep for “Comparison of Turkic States”. First, this is different article, thus I belive it deserves individual nomination for further discussion. It’s content is not inappropriate or copyrighted. It gives a summary for “Turkic States” in general, no other wiki pages gives this summary. For classification; Comparison of the Baltic states doesnt list biggest states in the Baltics: Sweden or Finland, because the term Baltic states are not used for them. There is a grouping used internationally. Similarly, there are tons of links that groups Turkic states. I see no harm keeping the article either.--Joseph (talk) 19:04, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I belive it deserves individual nomination for further discussion. It is valid to nominate multiple articles which have the same issues. In fact, it is encouraged (as several other users have also suggested that I should nominate even more articles).
    not inappropriate or copyrighted. Copyright is not the problem.
    a summary for “Turkic States” in general This is the problem: there are no objective criteria by which to identify "Turkic states", and as the long list of precedents above show, there is consensus we should not group, list or categorise countries or territories by language family.
    [What about] Comparison of the Baltic states[?] WP:OTHERSTUFF. I told you already at the talk page that if you've got a problem with Comparison of the Baltic states, Comparison of the Benelux countries and Comparison of the Nordic countries, you can nominate them for deletion as well. It's not a relevant argument to Keep Comparison of the Turkic states against the objection of being an arbitary WP:CROSSCAT between countries and language family, as strong consensus in previous precedents has established.

Fails WP:NLIST. Considering that blast furnaces have existed for centuries all across the world, this seems like a completely random choice with no clear inclusion criteria for these individually not notable furnaces. Was there anything special about e.g. the 1905-1907 period in the US that it deserves a separate section? Fram (talk) 13:05, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Rather useless synthesis if it only covers the USA.

Do you have any idea how incredibly many blast furnaces there were? I just did a rather random search, and e.g. the small city of Chimay, in Belgium, had 9 blast furnaces in the 17th century[2]. These kind of small blast furnaces were omnipresent. This is not a reliable source, but if correct then there are at least nearly 500 operating blast furnace sites in the world, and this is just a fraction of the list of former ones (and probably not a complete list of current ones either).

The list can if needed by broken down into one list per century. Or broken up in a variety of other ways. Nowakki (talk) 14:30, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But they were so common and in many cases just ignored because of that, that such lists would be a totally random selection of some examples. We already have List of preserved historic blast furnaces, which is a well-defined, limited list of blast furnaces which are considered important enough to preserve. Fine, good topic for a list.

Please no is not in any wikipedia content guideline. Nowakki (talk) 14:43, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
also, the "list of blast furnaces built in the 1940s" is not indiscriminate and open-ended and such a list can be looked up by anyone interested using a chronological list of all blast furnaces. Nowakki (talk) 14:50, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would agree that as currently scoped, this is not suitable for an article—the list will be far too long as a single page. While we're allowed to have incomplete work in mainspace, this is so incomplete as to be misleading to the innocent reader--like a "List of sailing ships" that had ten examples, all post-1800. I think it would be best to move it to user space and think about suitable ways to partition it. I would probably start by breaking it down into lists by continent. Those could then be subdivided in a number of ways. In a strictly North American context, the most meaningful partition would probably be (independent) charcoal furnaces vs. coal and coke furnaces vs. integrated furnaces at steelworks, but that would probably be different in a European context, where coke replaced charcoal much earlier; a chronological subdivision would be more arbitrary but more clear-cut and consistent.
The additional arguments made here against lists of blast furnaces in general are, however, utterly unconvincing. To inject some numbers into the discussion, Gordon, in American Iron, cites J. P. Lesley's statistics on U.S. iron production in 1856 and enumerates blast furnaces: 416 charcoal furnaces and 164 coal and coke furnaces for a total of 580. This was already well into the trend of smaller, isolated charcoal furnaces being replaced by fewer, larger coal- and coke-fueled furnaces at more central points. I think tripling that to account for abandoned 1700s charcoal furnaces and late 19th-century merchant furnaces and steelworks is not an unreasonable way to estimate U.S. capacity, which would give us a figure of around 1800 furnaces. Round up to 2000, perhaps, to include Canada?
Compare that to 3,243 counties or equivalents in the U.S., each of which has its own article, or the 4,110 ships in the U.S. merchant fleet in the single year 1920.[3] Maybe it's different in a European context (although Chimay is in Wallonia, a major ironmaking region, so I suspect it's on the high end of the distribution rather than a representative example as implied above). Anyway, this is not an unreasonable list size if sub-partitioned by century. Given the existence of independent reliable sources such as J. P. Lesley [4] and James Moore Swank [5] compiling lists of North American furnaces and ironworks, with individual description, WP:LISTN is certainly met for a list of North American blast furnaces, and trying to impose inclusion criteria beyond verifiability is not appropriate.
American iron and steelmaking different significantly in practice from European due, among other things, to the differing quality and availability of fuels and ores. Gordon, aforementioned, wrote specifically on American ironmaking, this paper specifically treats American blast furnace practice, and I've linked above two works specifically enumerating American blast furnaces. The asseration that a list of North American blast furnaces is a "rather useless synthesis" is not tenable. Choess (talk) 17:26, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I could rename the article to "List of blast furnaces with hot blast, large stoves, coke ovens and skip cars, of more than 100 tons per day". not sure if that is against the rules. PS: trade journals in 1905 and later don't say "charcoal" anywhere. Nowakki (talk) 18:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify. While in its current state the article is gratuitously incomplete, it doesn't seem to me like the topic of blast furnaces is inherently non-notable. Per what Choess says above, it's been covered before, and at some decent length. Obviously, one article that lists every blast furnace in the world would be impractical and unmanageable, but I think that limiting the scope could produce something very good. We should let this user cook... jp×g 19:45, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The concept of a blast furnace is certainly notable, but I disagree that a list of all blast furnaces, no qualifiers, is appropriate. No objection to a more narrowly focused list. CarringtonMist (talk) 14:47, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This article is redundant in this niche topic area with a better written and more focused article List_of_preserved_historic_blast_furnaces. My understanding is Wikipedia is not an WP:INDISCRIMINATE online repository or dump of trivia. I see comments mentioning that other list-based articles exist and I agree that some of those should be nominated for deletion too.

  • Keep but needs total re-write. Yes success in junior sporting events is not generally notable but the article fails to show that she has been getting WP:SIGCOV as: “the youngest kickboxer in the world" and "the first Kashmiri girl to represent India".[10], that a 2016 BBC article called her "the troubled region's newest heroine." and one who has "created history in Indian-administered Kashmir."[11]. Her story has been called "a shining beacon of hope for young Kashmiri women"[12] There are quite a few more RS that have nothing to do with sport results but with her being a role model for women: "On the occasion of Women’s Equality Day (...) Kashmir Tajamul Islam delivered a motivational talk to inspire the women folk to take up sports as a way of life."[13] She was made an ambassador for the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme, a program addressing gender discrimination and women empowerment by the Government of India.[14], She has been listed in the “Rising Beyond the Ceiling: 100 Inspiring Muslim Women of Jammu & Kashmir 2023” [15], Mehbooba Mufti called her “a role a model for the youth”,[16] and Amit Shah current Minister of Home Affairs of India called her “India’s talented daughter” and “an inspiration to every Indian"[17].

  • Delete - Article fails WP:GNG; the available sources are not in-depth coverage, are derivative of club press releases or are interviews with the subject that contain very little secondary analysis. The best source appears to be the NIWorld piece from 23 November 2013, but even that leans heavily on an interview with the subject. There is also a lot of PR puffery in many of these sources; the claim that he played for Olympique Lyon is especially self-promotional as Mudd only appears to have been on trial. A lot of this reminds me of an American soccer player who never played professionally but had trials at a lot of Scandanavian and South American clubs, and someone with an apparent COI wrote a Wikipedia article about him which ultimately was removed after 2 AfDs.

Not bizarre. As far as anyone can tell, Mudd's played zero competitive matches for Stockport County, Bolton, Brighton or Lyon, yet these clubs get mentions in most of the articles about him.

Still a bizarre comparison to Jordan Older, who I could find zero sources about, let alone articles from a main newspaper in his country... Seriously... many of the articles about Mudd published during his playing career are from the Belfast Telegraph, considered to be the main evening newspaper in Northern Ireland (it's not a tabloid either)... on top of that, some of the sources from his playing career are about his time in New Zealand, where he definitely played games...

  • Comment, the source used to support her getting the award indicates that she was nominated for the award but did not win it. I have no interest in actresses, so I'm not !voting, but with no reflection on Ms Sampson or this award, I'd add the caution that the awards industry in general attracts hype, exaggeration, money and influence, and it's far from unknown for people to claim awards they haven't got, or stack up impressive lists of completely meaningless awards. Awards should always be carefully scrutinised. Elemimele (talk) 07:32, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The article incorrectly states that the actress won the 2020 award for the best supporting actress, but the attached reference only states that she was nominated for the award. Unfortunately, that source appears to be a non-RS pure promotion site attached to a site used for MP3 piracy and scammy internet promotions. When you look at the sources attached to the 16th Africa Movie Academy Awards article, none of them mention this actress. So there appears to be some fabrication here.

There are many similar articles to this, see This and This also. Plus some that seem much worse This is much shorter and has less information. For me, I'm mostly trying to turn already existing redlinks blue.

    I'd like to further clarify why I think this should be kept because "it's just the way it is" isn't a great reason. There is so much potential content that can go into these legislature articles because there is so much notable and important stuff that occurs in each legislative session that can't be spun off into their own articles. Newspapers.com is a great location to find sources on debates about bottle bills or gun regulations or local tax changes.

Likely to fail WP:NBIO. Tom is not specifically mentioned in the NYT and New Yorker (there is however, an "Eric Ripert" who is presumably the subject's father). The other refs read like PR/promotional pieces. KH-1 (talk) 02:37, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A vanity page. I removed the New Yorker citation - it's not about him at all, and it just adds a veneer of reliable sourciness that the article doesn't deserve. Can't see the NYT article but from nominator's comment that cite probably deserves the same fate, leaving the article unsourced beyond self-published and apparently self-authored cites.

  • Delete. Oblivy is right that the New Yorker citation refers very obviously to a completely different person in a different industry. This is very worrying, as it implies either total incompetence from whoever inserted it, or deception, neither of which is a good basis for an article. I also smell a rat on the whole business. I did find a source in the New York Weekly but (a) this reeks of the work of a publicist, derived from the subject himself, and (b) it's blacklisted. The additional rat that I'm smelling comes from Companies house, which lists ROLZO in the UK as a micro-company with 3 employees in 2021, and fixed assets of less than £12,000. That sounds pretty small for a taxi-company, so either the UK branch is rather tiny or the whole thing is rather tiny. I can't help feel this might all be publicity from someone whose ambitions are much larger than their reality. Maybe better to wait for something more reliable before we have an article. Elemimele (talk) 07:56, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    According to 30/6/2022 unaudited accounts, they had net assets of GBP250K, 3 employees. [41] Otherwise I agree with all you've said. Oblivy (talk) 02:59, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I quoted only fixed assets. Either way, it's small. It may be bigger in some other country, but I have doubts. Elemimele (talk) 06:51, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As with the page on Quico (El Chavo del Ocho), article has very few sources, most of which seem non-notable. Most of article is overly in-universe. A quick google search finds a few sources, but not many. The character name could potentially be a redirect to the show's page, but I'm not sure if this should be its own article (though it does seem slightly more notable than Quico).

This person is barely a footnote in the current movement to boycott Target, which itself will likely fade from the news in a month or two. The claim that the subject of the article is a "pioneer of the Trumpist hip hop subgenre of 'MAGA rap'" is dubious, as political affiliation does not define a subgenre.

How are editors supposed to prove they've done a WP:BEFORE search? Frankly, it goes without saying when nominating an article for deletion, especially if you're a editor with over 60,000 edits and seven years tenure, that you've done some form of search to find any potential sources. Better, you could have done your own search and tried to find sources, which I just did, and I couldn't find anything. Also, it's ridiculous to ask an editor to find offline sources, which most people don't have access to except for very prominent subjects that probably aren't here anyway. If it isn't clear, this is a Delete vote. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 06:17, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not asking for proof that an editor has done a WP:BEFORE search, I am asking for assurances that they have done so.
Per the outcome of RfC on secondary school notability:
"Because extant secondary schools often have reliable sources that are concentrated in print and/or local media, a deeper search than normal is needed to attempt to find these sources. At minimum, this search should include some local print media. If a deep search is conducted, and still comes up empty, then the school article should be deleted for not meeting the GNG - Editors are not expected to prove the negative that sources do not exist, but they should make a good-faith effort to find them."
I am asking the nominator (or anybody else) to provide assurances that they have complied with the above and am opposing the deletion until that assurance is made.
Alternatively, you could provide the assurances that you have conducted the search, if you like. Did your searches involve any local print media JML1148 ? Jack4576 (talk) 06:47, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you are editing in good faith, but opposing an AfD for the sole reason of not stating they did a WP:BEFORE search comes off as a bit petty. I did spend a reasonable time on Google trying to find local sources - however even then I couldn't find anything, including in Nepali, and many editors write off local sources anyway, unfortunately. There may be offline sources, but I don't have access to that; however that doesn't really change anything, as per the RfC outcome that you quoted above.

"Keep for lack of adequate WP:BEFORE", without citing any sources yourself to back up the claim that both me and the original PRODder failed to find them, is nothing more than a form of WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES and should be given little weight. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:04, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for now due to flawed WP:BEFORE and possible naming problem, and the fact that this is actually one of the better articles about Nepali secondary schools on English Wikipedia currently (most are microstubs, lack citations, or rely only one or two weak sources, often primary – I would have nominated any of those for deletion before this one). There is a lot of media coverage about New Horizon School and New Horizon College in both English and Nepali – so much that it will take a long time to sift through. (To be fair, the article which was called "New Horizon Institute" at the time it was nominated, was probably misnamed, and if you read the article you'll see that it's more like a conglomerate of multiple institutions also including Kshitiz International College, for example.) The school is very competitive in cricket, which is probably what it's most famous for among the general public, and one could argue that alone could help it pass Wikipedia notability guidelines per WP:GNG. Of course it would be great if we could find more in-depth secondary sources about the school itself (there does appear to be some in years when it has had strong results, which I will add in due course), but at least some of the language problems have been fixed and a few sources added for now from publications like Himlayan Times and Nepal Press and Online Khabar. Improve, don't delete. @Jack4576: I actually think your first instinct was right in this case. Cielquiparle (talk) 07:37, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: If I'm not wrong, three sources were added. the first seems to be an education directory/blog that would source its information from the institution. The second is a passing mention of the achievements this subject of the source made at the school, and doesn't comply with WP:SIGCOV. I cannot read the third source, but with a machine translation I'll assume that this is also a passing mention of the achievements this subject of the source made at the school, and doesn't comply with WP:SIGCOV.

  • Delete: Fails NORG lacking independent and significant coverage. I do not see where "7 SLC (now SEE) board toppers in the national level exam" advances notability. WP:ABOUTSELF does not advance WP:notability which is not inherited. Notable Individuals, or even teams, do not advance the notability of a school or institute. For the record; It would be far more preferential to simply ask an editor (on their talk page) if they performed a due diligence "WP:BEFORE", See Wikipedia:Casting aspersions paragraphs #4 and 5. Casting doubt, without clear evidence, is a personal attack as to impugn one's integrity. It is a good trick because an editor will likely be sanctioned for something else long before being considered disruptive. -- Otr500 (talk) 03:22, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Has been draftified before, so unilateral draftification is no longer an option. All the sources listed are either Facebook, YouTube, or a lyrics site, so no reliable sources are in the article. The ELs seem to be mostly more YouTube for music videos or links to websites of organizations mentioned in the text.

There's a few Malayalam sources reporting his death, but that's about all I'm getting with a google search. There's a few search terms here – the Malayalam sources seem to be using "Pastor Bhakthavalsalan", and the abbreviated "Pr." instead of "P.M" appears to also be in use, but even with the alternate search terms I'm having no luck pulling up any sigcov outside of reports of his death.
